I built a 496 that I swapped in place of my 350 last winter and absolutely love it. Scat rotating assembly with 781 heads 2.19/1.88 valves and 2'' headers. My truck is an absolute animal now. With the bigger cube engine you can get away with a bigger cam and still have a very street friendly ride. 600hp can be made pretty easily with a 496. It wasn't cheap but I put a lot of fancy parts into the swap, im happy with every penny I spent.
Truck is a 2wd with a TH400 and a 12 bolt. 2500 stall and 3:73 gears.
