A little more information, to help answer questions asked above. The engine will be a 406 SBC, with hopefull around 450 to 500 ft-lbs of torque and 425 to 450 H.P. Building engine now and no dyno info yet. Concentrating on max torque vs horse power.

The truck will be a road queen driver, with minimum loads, probable max of about 7,000 lbs if used for towing. No power shifting, as stock u-joints and drive shafts are really small.
Tires some where around 33 to 34s.
Thanks,
Les
