Re: 400/406 Builds
I bought a 64 C10 last fall with a 400/406 small block. The engine started as a 400 4-bolt main small block; 10.2-1 compression, 292 comp cam, roller rockers on top, Edelbrock aluminum heads, Edelbrock RPM intake, Holley 750 carb with hooker headers. I only put about 50 miles on the truck before I tore the truck apart, but it "screamed" down the road. I plan on taking taking the oil pan, valve covers and timing cover off to make sure everything looks "ok" before I re-gasket everything. I plan on taking it to a engine dyno to see what type of power it makes and fine tune it before I drop it back into my truck this spring. The previous owner claimed it was around 500 Hp at the crank, so I will be surprised to see what it actually makes on the dyno. It runs ok on pump gas, but it ran much better on 100 octane.........
