The Vortecs are superior to the old fuelie heads in pretty much every aspect.

you are a moron once again. just shutup.

auto in a truck is about 1000000 million times better than a manual. just shutup please.

the ---- brown bomber got a newer style torker II single plane manifold and a 650 holley carb tonight. and a little sprucin up in the engine bay. pics tomarrow.

hopefully going to start the turbo project within 2 weeks.
