[QUOTE=Funky61;71094]Over on the other Board (and he might even be on this one here as well);
AT Rockdriller put a 351E with a turbo 400 into his truck. His is a 4x4 but he made it work so I'd think a 2wd would be easier.

Here's a link to his build:

Rockdriller was definitely a member of our forum at one time, Henry, but I'm not sure if he is any longer. When I first read his "history" of his '63 K1000 back when he wrote it in 2011 I had to write to him to tell him that (through no fault of his own) the story was totally bogus. The reason I know that is because the former owner of Rockdriller's K1000 lived about 200' down the road from me. I was actually thinking of buying it myself at the time.
I don't remember all the details any more, but my neighbor said he bought the truck from the original owner who was an electrical contractor in Southern California. The contractor had owned a fleet of similar trucks which he had sold off upon retirement. This particular truck must have been his favorite because it was the last one he sold. My neighbor brought it up to Oregon, kept it for several years, then sold it to the "creative" guy Rockdriller bought it from.
