Q: Engine swapping a Silverado
So I found this professionally built 468” bbc that has a 8-71 blower on it and I was wondering if that would look cool in my Silverado. I have the money for it and I would be doubling the horsepower and torque but I don’t know if it would look cool. What should I do??
