The motor I put together is a mild 355. It has 9.5-1 compression, .030, balanced, hypereutectic pistons. The heads are rebuilt 305HO castings with 1.94/1.50 valves, pinned studs, new seals, Z28 springs. It has a Comp 256xe cam with 1.52 Comp roller tip rockers. Intake is a Holley Street Dominator dual plane with a 600 Holley vacuumn secondary.
The exhaust consists of Hooker long tubes (new, scored on ebay for $135) back to a 3" single magnaflow exhaust. I wanted to keep the muffler back setup as it was in good shape so I built a 2.5" ypipe that used a flowmaster y-merge that took the 2.5" pipes in and had a 3" exit. It tucks up fairly nice.
I've been working on the interior recently and got the floor sound deadened, new black carpet, sillplates, and cab weatherstripping. I redyed the door panels and just have to reinstall them. I'm gonna do some work to the dash as it has some cracks, plus add a small tach and a CD player I have laying around.
The truck has basically new brakes but needs balljoints and a tie rod end on the passenger side. I will probably go through the trans in late spring but its good for now.
The planned usage for the truck is to tow my car to and from the track, plus 4wd in the winter is useful.
Let me know what you guys think.
