Kimble,
Yes, at times it seems like too many. However, opportunity to purchase nice or unique trucks is fun for me at my old age.

Getting ready to install engine and transmission soon. For now useing an engine all ready built out of another truck, just changed out the cam. Dynoed engine with new mild cam. This cam brought rpms for 400 ft-lbs of torque, down about 1,000 RPMs. The Max HP for this cam is down about 30hp from previous, along 600 RPMs decrease for max hp. Max HP 370 is at 5,000 RPMs Significant decrease in overlap from previous cams 52 degrees.

Eventually plan to put stock 327 engine back in.
