Fs/ft 1970 Chev Truck 454/ls7 Texas

1970 Chevrolet Truck
I purchased this truck from a friend about a year ago without an engine and put a big block I had in it. The engine came out of a corvette I use to own. It is a real 454/LS7 crate engine with some modifications. I have had the truck together for about a year and have probably put about 100 to 150 miles on it, just driving it to work on nice days or taking it out on the weekends. The following are some particulars about the engine and truck and a link to a photo album:

454 LS7 4bolt main block, standard bore.
Forged steel crank shaft, never turned.
7/16 forged rods.
12.5 to 1 compression forged pistons.
Ultradyne flat tappet cam. (I have lost the spec sheet but this a rather large solid lift cam. I think it is the second one from the bottom of the list in the ultadyne catalog with a 108 lobe center, around 600 and 280/285 @.050)
Cast iron square port heads, these heads have had extensive port work done. I put a fresh valve job and new springs and retainers on before putting this engine in the truck about a year ago.
TRE roller rocker arms.
New Edlebrock Victor Jr. intake port matched to heads.
Holley 750 double pumper modified to flow more.
MSD distributor.
New MSD blaster coil
MSD 6A
New water pump.
New mini alternator.
New starter.
New Moroso electric water pump drive.
Electric radiator fans.
Turbo 350 transmission.
TCI 2500 converter.
New Headman 1 7/8” headers.
New custom 3” exhaust.
New Dynomax Ultraflow 3” mufflers.
12 bolt rear end with 4.56 gears and a mini spool.
New Randy’s Ring & Pinion axles.
New 28 x 12.5 Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pro tires.
Holley blue electric fuel pump.
New Interstate 1000 cold cranking amp battery.
Autometer gauges and tach with shift light.
Racing bucket seats.
B&M shifter
Fiberglass cowl induction hood

The paint is in good shape but not show quality. Since the pictures were taken I had broke an axle and damaged the L/H side of the bed. The body/repair has been done and it is VERY STRAIGHT! I have sanded and primed both sides off the bed and they are ready for paint. I will eventually paint the whole truck if I keep it. The interior has had all of the controls (heater, lights, radio, etc… ) removed and aluminum panels put in with a Painless wiring switch panel in the center about where the radio use to be located to control lights and electrical items. The driver seat has a RCI 5 point harness, the right seat does not have a seat belt installed. The fuel tank in the cab has been removed and a fuel cell installed in the bed. The person I purchased the truck from started removing the bed to install a wood bed, but did not finish. Neither did I. This is a nice clean truck, VERY FAST!!!!!!!! And a fun truck to drive. $6500.00 or will consider trades.
