But I drank waaaaaay to much on saturday to get anything done. LOL So hopefully over this week and weekend i can have some more progress pics up.
Holly all the way, I think there's alot more tunability in a Holly opposed to an Edelbrock. They're not that hard to dial in either. Everything just needs to be the right size, lol.
No doubt there's a lot more tuneability in a Holley, but as far as set it and forget it goes you can't beat the AFB. Whatever you do stay away from Demons, absolute garbage in every way shape and form.
Want an old Quadrajet? ;)Quote:

Done over weekend:
New Rear springs

Front clip entirely off
Old 305 out
Front axle out
New front shackle bushings in
New front 2.5'' lift springs in

Would have like to get more done, but as usual, the ''friends'' never made it out to help.
To do this week:
Swap in 79 front axle
grind and paint fron half of frame
weld in new panels on drivers side
cut passenger side of cab
weld in passenger side panels
drop in crate 350
run new brake lines
run new fuel lines
Front clip is meeeeh. Gonna get some Goodmark front fenders and inner fenders. I know they won't line up the best, but i am done fighting all this rusty crap.
Do it once, do it right.
gotta love rust!
(ps...where did you get the sections you replaced on YOUR truck?...I cut the rust out of mine, and used fiberglass as a temporary filler...thinking I want the actual metal replaced come spring before I pay to have the bottom half of truck rhino-lined)
