Sion, you're right. I do want a beefier engine, but I don't want to add excess weight for that Big Block. I want to keep the engine as beefy AND as light as possible. I'm not interested in dropping the truck "4 or so, so I can compensate for the added weight giving it a better ride. I will be putting some larger tires on here and I don't want the tires nearly rubbing the wheel well. (problem I have on my other '65 fleetside) Though I am positive that lowering a stepside will be no big deal on a stepside.
Thanks for the concern.
