I have a really nice 1995 C1500 regular cab shortbox 2wd. It is getting to the point where I either need to do something with it or get rid of it. Ultimitely I would love to prostreet it but for now I would settle for a mild big block swap and lower it a little. The truck right now had a TBI 305 and a 4l60e I would use a carb and a th-400.
The biggest issue I see with this swap is completely abandoning the stock fuel system and just running an aftermarket external fuel pump, I doubt the stock pump can support a big block, I also have been having a difficult time finding headers. Wireing might take me some time but I should be able to figure it out.
Does anyone have any experience with a swap like this? I am well aware of the work involved and what the truck will become. I put a 454 in a Monte SS years back and had it for years son I know what I am in for. The truck will not be a daily driver.
Any pictures or links will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
