Put a Pontiac quadrajet on it 850 CFM and it will run just fine. I wish you lived closer for 2 reasons , 1 being you would be buying me a LOT of Heineken , and 2 I'd love to see your face when a little 292 smokes your big old bad V8 . Bhwaaaa .... Bhwaaaa...Bhwaaaa .....and gone !
Weight and balance ....Weight and balance ............100 ft burnouts are easy in any truck , getting one to launch correctly with 75 % of the weight in front is a whole nother ball game

That would be fun, and afterwards I'd wanna ride in the 292 because that's gotta be one fast I6! And I love Heineken! You have a pretty awesome job Grumpy, I mean, getting checks made out to you for building really cool trucks is about the coolest job I can think of. I'm not great at wrenching yet, but since that first thread I made where I took apart the motor the very first time to identify the cam which lead to all sorts of work, I've definetly improved 300% (not to toot my own horn lol) Maybe when I get the Gear Vendor and disk brakes all done it'll be road trip time
