Basically I have both.  My 84 has a 350 and the 90 has a re and a doubler.  The 84 has been reduced to a yard ornament till gas prices go down a ways.  Dont get me wrong the truck is a riot to drive and wheel but its way too easy to start grenading stuuf everytime you tickle the stupid pedal.  The re is far more controllable with the doubler and I actually enjoy being under powered, it adds a bit of entertainment to driving.  I find myself laughing at almost every hill I come too thinking which gear is gonna make this the fastest?  4th and 3k or 3rd and 5500?, its a whole lotta fun I actually missed the lack of power.  Of course maybe I should lose the 3.90's and 38's?? lol
Full hydro, 186:1 with an auto and 44's what could go wrong??
