Thanks Classic v6 GMC.......I think most say the most HP the better...Talked with Yelmer on the phone tonight..VERY knowledgable man and a super nice guy as well. I am thinking more in your live of just putting a very mild cam in it to give it a nice little rumble, bump the HP up just a little and go from there.

Guy I will search for some double hump heads now......gotta love working on old trucks.
