468 big block swap with pics

[markv20]

Hello all, my ride is a 87 v20 pickup. the tbi 350 that was in the truck was getting tired and I was looking to get some additional power as well so that gave me an excuse to pick this beast up to drop in after a good cleaning, and some paint. Came out of a friends truck who had it built for his truck, about 7k miles on it. He needed some money so I took it off his hands for him. I should have it running and and the road again withing a few weeks enjoy

Looks great ! I still am trying to decide if I want to put a big block in my k10. I could be wrong but it looks like you have notched your frame for the headers to fit ?

Auto tranny? is it going to hold up to the '468'?

Looks good, gotta love BBC's

I would say go for it, yes I did have to notch for the passenger side. I am not the least bit impressed with the fitment and the quality of the hedman elite's. If i didnt need to get the truck done so soon I would have sent them back. you would think for $425 they would bolt right up with no trimming, but i guess that would be asking too much

Yea its an auto, th400. engine should put out right around 450 hp so I guess ill wait and see how long she lasts. It has a delay when cold already so a tranny swap was next on my list anyway. I have a spare th400 that im going to rebuild once im done with the engine. Ill make sure it will hold up
