History
Don't know much about it bought it sat for possibly 8 years in some guys yard in NC until the guy we bought it from bought it. All he did to it was a new radiator, a bad coolant temp sender, and put brand new tires on it. He bought it for his son but his son changed his mind on it and wanted a chevy c10. My dad and I went up there from North Georgia and looked at it, it was not in the best condition as it had a good amount of rust in the normal spots especially the tailgate. It was a struggle getting it on the trailer with the 302 which had bad gas in it. We took it home and started work on it.

Modifications
Drivetrain
We swapped the old 302 EFI for a 90's 351w with unknown miles because of the electric odometer. It was also EFI and took all that off and switched it to a Holley Sniper for the fuel sitting on top of an Edelbrock performer dual plane intake manifold. It has a Hyperspark CD box and coil, and an MSD dual sync distributor. We changed the stock heads for 185 AFR heads and got JBA shorty headers.
Have also swapped in a sterling 10.25 with 3.73 gears and a factory LSD carrier. Up front is also 3.73 with a Yukon Durga grip carrier. Also have swapped the front to 8 lug using chevy parts following Kingfish post.
