Re: *** 400/406 sbc BUILDERS PLEASE READ ***

Quite a few years ago, my son and I built a 400 for a '79 K10 he had at the time. We started out with a stock rebuilt short block, bolted on a set of Vortec heads, and slid in a Comp XE4262 cam, performer intake and 750 Holley. I was really surprised at how strong that engine ran. After my son crashed the K10, we put that engine in an '85 IROC, with a TCI TH350, 3.73 detroit locked 9". With a 150 shot of N2O it ran a mid 11 sec quarter until the pistons finally gave out.

I've always been a big fan of the SB 400's and have one planned for my '75 K5 Blazer next.
