Sounds cool Gus, so you'll run racing gas I assume?
Does is cost an arm and a leg for shipping to AK?

 

[yellowK20]

It runs ok on premium with octane booster.I haven't noticed any detonation the cam has alot of overlap so I think that helps,

It has alot of power but it dont really start to pull hard until about 3500 RPM I want to put a nice 350 in it but she got mad and said she likes the bigblock so it stays lol

Shipping is kinda expensive , but you can find ways around it especially if your not in a rush

Gus, @yellowK20 I lost track of this build, any updates?

Took the parts from theses two trucks and a CUCV and made one , ended up selling it to a buddy who took it apart to paint it and the project stalled . I ended up with the big block and sold that to @sledheadak.
