thankyou Achipmunk. it ran good before the failure. I must take some blame as I most likely tried to make the old thing go faster than it was made to handle. I was pushing it between 55 and 60 . I hear you on what you said on rebuilding what I have . however if I go that route it will be the same and not able to go modern highway speeds ( 65 mph) I got a friend that has a 350 engine along with a transmission , and blazer frame and axles , I'm thinking I'm gonna make my panel a 350 4x4 automatic.
