Paddle Pump a 3-8 teen
I have a rebuilt 90 318 with approx 7.5 compressing the 30 over poptops - Originally I was thinking of spenidng way toomuch money and having it stroked out to a 390 - but a smarter (i think) friend suggested why not just blow the motor in current config!?!? Im thinking why didnt I think of that - or does anyone have a legit concern NOT to blow this motor - Im wanting to motivate a 2spd powerglide set up (60 in first on main st sounds way too fun to pass up)

My suggestion is to forgo the powerglide and stick a 3-5SPD stick behind it. If your interested in any hint of fuel mileage(RE: 2 digits), stroke it. otherwise, have fun with the blower.It's only a truck if it's workin it's ass off. Anything else is just a car with a box on the back. I know my C10 aint gonna be pampered. If ittl move, I'll keep driving it...
If the motor aint greasy and the rears still have new tire shine on the tread lugs, it's a trailer queen. Let 'em run WFOT!
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
