Can I ask how the 292 even moved that old chevy?

 

And that is the question i've been asking ever since the truck was bought. I know the original owner and he old bought it because it was the only one on the lot and he needed it that day.

That engine should have never been put in there.

The only way it moved the heavy chevy was the 4.88's in the back. Top speed was 55mph at 4K RPM. It was costing me 45 bucks a day to drive it in the slow lane.

3.73's are on they're way in. It should rev much lower with the newer 5 speed.

 

Are you gonna leave it 2wd or do a 4wd swap also?
