I don't know how many of the slurp parameters it violates but I've always wondered how a chevy 348 transplant wood do in an advanced design truck.
Per Wikipedia:
"The "W" (i.e. the 348 and its 409 and then 427 derivatives)had a dry weight of approximately 665 lb (300 kg), depending on intake manifold and carburetion, and was a physically massive engine compared to its small block predecessor."
So, this engine would ADD weight and would almost surely be a bear to install into an AD truck!
Sure would be nostalgic though . . .
