Re: 1972 GMC "the beast" c20

yeah the ones i see are all cracked around their i imagine its a molding mark or weak point when they were made. im thinking about buying a second inline motor and tearing it part this winter to get myself familiar with the inline motors and so i have a extra motor to throw in the vehicle to keep it running when i do the final build so it dont sit and collect mice and rust any more then it already is should do body and frame before motor but havent come up with a final vision i forgot to say also that dads buddy plugged the numbers into a computer dyno sim and he came up with a rough estimate of 295hp@ 4600rpm and 430t@ 3300rpm new redline of 5600rpm not 4000rpm and off idle i should start at 325+tq depending on exact comp. and carburetion
