Re: 400 small block on C50 dumper

As much as like 400s, the total GVW that the truck is capable of would almost dictate a big block. "Keeping up with traffic" would necessitate different gearing. BUT how fast do you want to go with a fully loaded 50 year old truck? Most medium duty trucks in Calif are supposed to adhere to a 55mph restriction anyways--not that anybody follows these guidelines....
