I would love to find some old Chevys in that shape. They have all been hotrodded with a 350. Boring... My 84 year old father has a 55 chevy truck with three on the tree and that 6. He no longer drives it but it sits in his driveway. He really did drive a 55 truck back in 55 with the 265 V-8 and auto trans. No way would you be able to find that now. Hense, his midyear crisis vehicle being the 6 cyl 55 truck he got about 15 years ago. Vito |

There are some cars I would put an LS engine in but not this one, it would be nice but no way. Had one 265 and that was enough, couldn't keep the mains in it. Of all GMs engines I loved the 283 but the LS will take a back seat to no engine. |
