I'm a new Square body owner, had it about a year. always wanted one.
it's an 87 r10
had a 4.3l in it that was dying to be changed, *also literally dying.
I have had it about a year and in that time i have swapped in a 350 4bolt and a 4l80e just to get her off on the right foot

I am a former Marine and currently a diesel engineer.
47yrs old and married most of those.

currently owned vehicles are as follows,
1987 R10 (350 4bolt and 4l80e fuel injected from a 94 G30 oil truck)
2001 s10 blazer (D44 & 9in with a 383 lt1 on 35's)
2003 mitsubishi lancer evolution
2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee (Wife's)

many previously owned vehicles. but this square completes a high school bucket list item.
i started searching the web for info and for the most part ended up here.
so i joined. i do lots of custom projects and i intend this pickup to be my daily.
i would be happy to answer any questions or give my opinions as requested (while i sponge information)

welcome also from PA doing a swap from a 700r4 (ripped apart the sun gear assembly) to a sm465 208 combo good luck on your swap but if you do drop in a 350with a 80e you should get the motor and trans as one unit from the same vehicle with the wiring harness it will make it MUCH easier most stand alone shift controllers are not cheap by any means and dont get me wrong i like carb but efi is an easier start in the winter time and doesnt have the ethanol issues a carb does i had a holly street demon on a 351 in an old 72f100 i had and it would cause scaling in the carb
