:eek: B-UGLYLOL.. I like the Chevy! I think that engine would go nicely in my CK 1500 in replacement of the little 350cu in bugger in there now.. ahh let's see... at about 15 - 17 mpg now at 350 cu in.... hummn... well, on second thought ;)

They could use a bit of help in the finishing dept for those recowl jobs couldn't they... but then, from the land of "Mad Max" and "Beyond Thunderdome" what might we expect :rolleyes:
