I have a 48 chevy truck with completed front and rear suspension on the stock frame. I have a chassis engineering mustang 2 front suspension and new originsl type rear leaf springs with a 3 inch drop. I would like to keep my truck original in appearance but modern in drivetrain. I was hoping to use a 4.3 v6 with a 500 cfm edelbrock carb. I am planning on changing the re as re d gears to 3.42 gear ratio. Also I will be running a 350 turbo trans. Anyone have any advice on the route I am taking. I am hoping to build a fun cruiser that looks and sounds original but mo f ified. All my information places curb weight at around 3300 lbs.
