Rally wheels painted black, too.

I had an opportunity to work with David Kimble when we introduced the GMT800 trucks.

I provided the engineering data and specifications and he produced cutaways of the engines and body structure.

Very cool and talented individual.

I'm also the guy that is responsible for the throttle body being kicked up at an angle like that. I had design/release for the engine air induction system on the truck platform side; Darn Powertrain engineers put the throttle body on the front of the engine right behind the cooling fan, not leaving any room for the air induction duct.

I suggested angling the inlet so that I could make the turn from the right front fender, honoring their airflow restriction requirements.

How riske' is this unused PR photo . . . that girl is naked!

Noticed in the first post the omission of the solid lifter L78 and LS-6 engines from the engine options. Was this pretty typical of Chevy back then?
