It is a fun ride. The truck flies. It's also light and easy to drive. You don't hardly have to tough the gas up road hills. And sound, man, with the 3-pipe headers glass packs and turn outs it sounds like 2 H-D motorcycles stuck under the truck. My motor is out of a '66 Barracuda that the guy owned since he was a kid. A few years ago he wanted more, so he had the motor pulled and brought to a speed shop where they rebuilt the motor with a hot cam, Offy alum 4-barrel intake, and Clifford headers. He put the motor back in ran it for a year. Then pulled it out for a 340. We were able to fit it in with a 904 that I had rebuilt. After some rebending the Clifford's fit like a glove. With the 904 you have continuous power and don't have to lift to shift. My next project is to get a 1 1/2ton Dodge stake truck ('39 to '47}or Dodge WWII 6x6 and do the same for a delivery truck for my wood shop.
