Re: 400 small block on C50 dumper
I like the 400 in a truck for the bottom end torque. Sounds like that owner didn't know how to boast about a C/50 dump truck. I'd be wanting to hear "It can pull a house down" or It could haul an acre of dirt if it fit" over hearing how fast it can roll. The 400 I had in my '72 K/20 ran all day on very little throttle. If I floored it there didn't seem to be much more. With 4.10s and 35" tires I'd roll in the slow lane at 60 mph barely on the peddle. I got the same mpg as the '72 K2500 with 350, 4.11s, and 33" tires (12.5)
