Izzy's K5
04/13/07 at 18:10:03

First let me say thank you for letting me join the Forum. Now here are some pics of my K5. This is one of those projects that will take some time to complete but will be very nice when its done. Bought this K5 very cheap and put about $3000 into it so far. As far as I can tell the body is solid, the engine is a 350 w/a turbo 350 tranny which i had rebuilt. The engine is tired and i am contemplating putting a 383 into it. However that might have to wait for a bit and I might just rebuild the current 350. So here is a before pic, taken after I purchased the vehicle.
