I do alot of highway driving but also alot of in town play I want to build a motor to hold up on the high side of 5000rpm maybe 6 but I want to accelerate out of the hole to. I've got a 70 SWB 3.73 with th350 manual valve body and slap stick B&M special. Run on pump gas and get ok milage.

You need lots of torque to launch this heavy brick outa the hole. i would go with a 383 or a 400.
I have a 400 I lan to build upp one day...onless I can get my grubby mits on a 500 Caddy. ------------------ '69 G.M.C. 350/350. Trying to clean up the left over damage from the Dope-Smokin-Old-Man I've been dubbed the Longhorn Freak/Fanatic/Expert, I just hope I can live up to it. FINALLY got the HORNIAC...a '70 one ton Longhorn with a Pontiac 350/350 and lots of 'personality'. Check out The Longhorn Webite.

I think so too,383 or 406. Im runnin a 383 with edelbrock rpm top(alittle less cam for tork),CompXE 268. Its got plenty to get the old longhorn movin,but you can pull a little more with a 406(bigger bores will let it breath better). You wont have a problem winding either 1 6000 plus ,if built properly. I try to shift around 6000,but have seen it go 7200(brain fade....I need to pay attention!)........69 longhorn.
