Control arms are only different @ the lower BJ hole. C20's use a larger diameter BJ vs. C10's.

The pre-71 C20's can also use spindles (or drop spindles) from C20/C30/C3500 (71-89 GM trucks) for disc brake swapping.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
