So, this truck has been passed around a group of friends. I was able to talk to the PO that had the motor built and got the story.

I ran the block numbers and the head numbers. The block is from a 75 c10, the heads are 2.02's. The PO told me that when they got the truck the motor had been built incorrectly and threw a crank bearing, so they had it line bored, and the cylinders bored out.

so the config is:

350 bored .080 over (so it's a 364)
10.1 pistons
2.02 intake valves
1.60 ex valves
ported heads,
elgin pro stock cam
stock rockers
produces .450 valve lift int, .480 valve lift ex
large port long tube headers,
eddy torker intake,
eddy 750 cfm carb,
hei (recently just installed that)

I was looking at doing an ls swap, but I have found that the roughly 400 hp is plenty enough to get me into trouble, If I really step on it it is hard to keep the wheels hooked up. it isn't crazy power, but plenty enough to have fun.

Welding is a lot like sex, you don't have to be great with the rod as long as you thoroughly prep the surface and your good at grinding
