It want be a problem for me because i'm putting the 406" motor that used to be in my Malibu 3250 lbs with a glide. I'm leaving the motor mounts in the truck and useing a motor plate, for this installation. I took the compression out of the motor and put flattops in it. When it was a 13.5 motor it ran 6.26 at Holly Springs on alcohol, i'm going to pump gas and hopefully i can drive it to Sonic and too the track and run in the 6.'s or 10.'s in the qtr. it may be dreams, but the little 1998 stepside shortbed will only weigh about 2600/2700 lbs.. I haven't set the motor in yet but i'm hoping i can use the crossmember that was welded in for the 4l80 trans. I don't have a driveshaft yet because i don't have the lenght yet. BJ gave me a MW trans yoke and i have billet MW rearend yoke. Either way i think it will be a fun truck when i finish putting it together.
