BLES Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 First: Thanks to everyone on this board. I enjoy reading and learning from you all. So, I drove my truck again for the first time in over 24 years! It was originally a 300-6/AOD that I put a built 460/C6 in. It was my first vehicle and was my daily until l parked it and pulled the engine to do a refresh. Life happened and it's sat on the back burner since 1997. I was diagnosed with cancer last year and I decided it was time to get things done!;-) It's now sporting a 12:1 aluminum headed 502 stroker, solid cam, Holley 950HP, dumping into 2" primary headers. Fired right up and ran well, tranny shifted fine, and it maintained 170 degrees on a 20 mile cruise/rip. I'm calling it a win! Possibly a GearVendors unit and new rear this winter should have it ready for the street/strip next year. All of the purists here will hate me for this, but it's a riot! Paint and body will have to wait a little longer. Thanks again for all the info here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
