I wanted a FAST way to get my truck on the road, This is why I went the crate engine route.

6500 miles later, Absolutely no problems at all. If geared right it will tow anything. Sm 465 with 4.10 rear

Don't be fooled by the numbers. Your original motor didn't make 290 hp anyway.

Here it is pulling all this NO problem.
