I had a lot of interest in it after posting it on craigslist. Only one idiot wanted to buy it for junk.

No, and yes. He did take it with him, but next weekend, I am driving down to help him pull it out. I am keeping, my engine, trans, carb, distributor, and mufflers. Then I will be coming back home, selling the trans, and tearing the engine down.
Once it is back together, I will stick the engine in my new short bed 5 spd truck.
w00t Now that I've thought about it I do remember... I just got home from work so I'm not all there :roll:
What cam does it have? As of right now I'm planning on going with the GM hot cam. From what I understand it's good for 400hp/425lb.ft. in a Vortec-headed 350, so I'm hoping I'll be at least remotely close to that with the 383.

Has a comp cam 268X from what the builder told me. I have a GM hotcam and a edelbrock TBI intake at my buddies house that we did some trading on. I think I might stick those in big brown. I am thinking while I have the 385 torn down, that we will see if I can run a larger cam in it. I want it to sound, as my buddy would say, McNasty!
If I can find some good aftermarket heads reasonable, I might thrown them on it. I am hoping for 400-450HP. Same as what I was shooting for in the malibu, but now in a 4500lb truck!
I'll beg to differ on the weight I'm sure yours is close to the same, I think the weight on the site is with a 4.3. I'll guess another 50lbs. for a small block, and I'd imagine the NV4500 (is that the right one? I always get them screwed up) is close to a 4L60.

Not sure, haven't taken it down and put it on the scales. Big brown weighs 5200 lbs, and thats with about 1/4 tank in the 39 gallon money container.
I will try to reduce some weight on the truck without getting crazy with it. If I can get it around 3,800-4,000 lbs, I will be happy, that's about the same as a round body extended cab s-10.
