if you are going to put a 4 in. lift on it you better go to bigger tires. I have an 83 k-5 with stock suspension and i have 33's. with a lift the tires will look kinda small. Also for more power you should probably change cams, put in a mild cam and that will give you more power. Either the 350 or the 400 are fine. If you really want to go nuts take the 350 and put 305 heads on it. that is always a fun way to increase power.

I've got a 88 k-5 350 700r4 308 diffs and 33s its a highway monster gets great gas mileage. It lacks a little off the line because if the diffs, but not much stops it in the bush. Im installing a 4" suspension lift headers and some flowmasters just to start. I think the original colour was black, but i choose mud brown with clean spots were the wipers move across the windshield. :evillol: I just picked it up 2 months ago and i swore I'd never own a 4by, well, I'll never go back my wife is jelous of the truck. he he he i love it I hope they start a K-5 forum
