yeah its not too hard to make a fast older chevy or something like that. use the chevy th400 automatic and put a 2000 or 3000 rpm stall speed torque converter in it, then get a 350 and put new heads on it and cam, intake, exhaust, and carb... depending on your streetability wants and desires, you can make over 500 horsepower naturally aspirated with a 350 smallblock chevy... im sure its similiar for ford trucks and dodge trucks as well...... some factory "quick" pickups are the dodge express truck that was the fastest production vehicle made in 1977 or something like that, the ford lightning or whatever, and the chevy 454SS, all 3 pretty damn quick and good enuf for me in my opinion lol
