71 c10, upgrades/rebuild-my first truck

[bigyellow]

i know its been a long time since my last post but i've been busy with school and work. i've been putting in 40 hour work weeks and school full time, and a new gf to throw into the mix. needless to say spare time has been rare. but with all my hours at work i've built my bank account back up and it's time to start spoiling my big yellow truck =)

friday after the check clears i'm buying my 3.5/5 drop FINALLY, and an engine kit for my 355 i have just "laying around" lol. next check after that i'm buying the cam. i already have a 355 4 bolt main block, forged crank, rods, .030 pistons, 2.02 fuelie heads that are ported and polished with 62 cc combustion chambers =), alternator, brackets, water pump, offenhauser intake, msd distributer. so i've got all of my motor except for a carb, cam, and a flywheel/starter. how does a .480 lift sound to you guys? yeah i've decided to take the plunge and build a v8 to go into it
