Thanks for the reply Ticker. I see you all over this site and your right on all the time. (Been lurking for a while now.) It's great to get your feedback.

This is going to be a daily driver with not much time over 5500 rpm. Looking for a lot of low end torque. The trans is a fresh rebuild that came with the truck. PO did some improvements, saying it should hold 450 hp. Still trying to get him to give more details... corvette servo... wide kevlar band... and...and... Also stock gears, not sure what we're running now.

Heads came from a friend complete as they are for $125. No brainer there for me. I've always had Edelbrock vacuum secondaries, so I thought it would just be something new to play, with having a DP.

What horse power do you think we can estimate from this motor?
