Murdoc Wrench Fetcher M Joined: May 2003 Posts: 224 idaho	hey there, im putting in a 292 from a c30 flat bed into my 66 half ton shortbox. i was wondering, because of the extra weight of the engine, if id need heavier duty shocks for my c10 or can it take the added weight with stock suspension? and by the way, anyone else done this switch? was it a good idea? any notice improvement from the 250?
