Except with fuel injection. That pic is from the builder. Need to make a few changes.

Got back on the C-10. We are officially down to the frame. Got the mock up done and the rear end is C-notched and the flip kit was installed for clearance issues and tore back down. Frame and parts going to powder coaters next week. With the 383 stroker and 700r Trans. I had to remove the 3.08 gears and go with the 4.10’s for some nice torque and smooth highway driving at 65mph at 2300 rpm. Should work nicely.

I like those numbers... that's the way to gear a 700. You have plenty of room for taller tires as well. Expect traction issues off the line :burnout:

Been off the C10 for a couple weeks. During that time, sent the frame off for powder coating. American Fab in town did a great job on the (Semi Gloss) powder coating. The frame was the last “dirty” part. This is a turning point in restorations (or at least to me). From here on out, it’s all clean work and assembly begins.

I ended up going with “American Autowire” for my wiring harness. They make a great kit. Plug n Play.
