Thanks! I'm going to be using a 700r4. I want to paint the truck back to th origional Shannon Green, or some kinda of lime green. Later down the road when I get more money we plan on putting a better rear end in it. Not right now tho. I'd be guessing 280ish? Its a Stock 305 with intake, carb. I'm in League City, between galveston and houston.
