More MOTOR!

[toolboxchev]

So I am tinkering with the idea of doing a build to my 010 Gen 1 block using 186 casting 2.02 heads.

Would like to keep the compression with a flat top piston to build ponies but wish to have everyday driving on pump gas.

Is there a way to build a brute and run on regular w/ethanol? I realize I may be asking for trouble.

Carborated, no headers rv-2 cam or higher, with roller hydraulics.

What are your thoughts? Much appreciated

put a stroker kit 383 in the bottom end and those heads , that will definatly put a smile on your face , easy to obtain 400 horse , and better torque , with a 383 , most that have them agree , 383 stroker kits are reasonable as they are by far the most popular , and for good reason , great truck moter with tons of torque

If you can port the valve pockets and do a gasket match to the intake, it would be well worth the time. If you would have to have someone else do it,then there are much better flowing heads out there. Edelbrock,World Products,etc...
The stroker crank is a must.NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT!!!

Pump gas? Yes. Regular (87 octane)? Probably not. You would most likely be ok with 91-93. Still pump gas, just costs a little more to pump it.

Not enough motor. This one runs GREAT on E-85!
