Re: my 74 jimmy build

Would a used small block be an option?

Re: my 74 jimmy build

You can always cut 4 inches in the wheel wells up front an throw on some 38x15.50, Here is a picture of mine, its a 1979 GMC High Sierra Jimmy ( The Front is from a 87 Suburban. I did not put that on) however, Everything about this mutt is stock. nothing aftermarket except the Rough Country Suspension Lift Kit of 6".

There's a good reason to put the 4" springs on. Congrats on the motor.

Re: my 74 jimmy build

Are those factory wagon wheels on the 78? They look like they might be. Might be some coin there.
