Chevrolet 400ci bored to 406

Scat 9000 cast steel Pro Comp 3.750" stroke crankshaft

Comp Cams Magnum Retro-Fit Hydraulic Roller Camshaft
280/280 duration
0.525"I/0.525"E lift
110 LSA

SRP Forged 21.00cc Dish Pistons, 4.155" bore

Eagle I-Beam forged connecting rods

Dart Iron Eagle Platinum 23 degree cylinder heads
64cc combustion chambers
215cc intake runners
1.600" exhaust valve dia.

Comp Cams 1.6 ratio Ultra Pro Magnum roller rocker arms

Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap dual plane intake manifold

Engine will be going in my 1969 SWB C10, with 4.11 gears, 20" wheels and a TH350 auto transmission. Goal of the build was for big torque numbers in the low to mid RPMs which will be used for mainly weekend cruising around.
Any updates?
What rear tire size? That combo should be fun around town & those heads will work just fine w/your intent on a 406.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
