whattodo- You want to follow through on your dad's dream and put a small block Chev in his old truck. I think that great. Don't let a few of these guys talk you into doing something you don't want. "Quick" is a relative term. You say you have the mechanical know how, do your research and go for it. When you're driving that truck that way your dad always wanted it, you'll be happy you went to all the trouble.

You will find plenty of help from members on this board. Good luck!
