Will the 5.7 fit in a 100?

[GTV]

Just supercharge the 4.7.

Hard to argue with this logic. However, if you've got a blown 4.7 and are handy with tools a 5.7 could be an interesting option.

Wow, an over 17 year-old post brought to the top. I've been on and off forums since 2000 or so....and this is by far the oldest/most dead post I've seen resurrected. Ever.

And oh how life was different in November of 2008.....

Hold my beer.

For context, at that time, there was no dedicated 100 series section. It was combined 80/100 section.

There were two section, "Cruisers" and then 80/100 section.... kinda misfits, I guess.

I'm afraid to dig up posts I made on other forums back in the aughts, and get a window into what my teenage and twentysomething brain was thinking at that time.

The Internet is forever.

Ain't that the truth.

Here's a great opportunity to fit a 5.7 into the 100... fit the front coiled suspension as well.... or basically just throw a 100 body onto a 200 frame/drivetrain. Very nice hail damaged 200 going up for auction.

Catastrophic Hail Damage: Will it be totaled?

Friday night fell unexpected victim to the worst hailstorm I’ve ever seen. Sadly, my 2015 was in the driveway and took 25 minutes of 40mph wind driven dime to quarter sized hail. Every body panel and every plastic trim piece, lights, side mirrors, roof rack, window tempering layer damaged...

For this same reason I'm kind of glad that not all websites exist forever. I was an obnoxious little s*** with a laptop and a LAN card in middle school. I would probably hate me today.

I had a 1972 Chevy C-10 when I got my first taste of internet car forums in early 2001 as a high school kid. Oh how my tastes and lifestyles have changed over 24 years on the internet!

I was 21 in 2001 but I had 2 different C10's in highschool. Great trucks, wish I didnt get rid of them for RX-7's.......ended up owning about 8 of those lol

I do miss mine, as well as the square body trucks that my dad owned in the 1980s (I actually prefer those a bit more now to the 67-72s for some reason). My C-10 turned into a bit of a rust bucket - drip rail/sun visor area - so I ended up selling it to a friend in 2011 or so (and used the cash for high-end backpacking equipment). He sold it pre-COVID and I'm sure it's been crushed by now, although perhaps the 0.060" over, 10:1 compression 350 with double-hump heads I built is still running in some kind of other vehicle.
