1982 Crew Cab 3+3 2WD

We just got our truck on the road.
We purchased the truck to pull our race car and trailer, knowing all along the 350 would not have the torque to do the job. We lost the engine the first day we hooked the trailer up and started down the road. We had the gas pedal to the floor and were going 52 mph.

We converted it over to a 468 with left over bbc parts from our race car.
This is a 4 speed manual transmission with a 3.21 ratio in a 14 bolt ff locker. We used a 2 bolt 454 block bored, 60 over, with flat top pistons zero decked, steel shimmed head gasket, professional products duel plane intake,Q-jet with parts ordered from Cliff Ruggles.
781 oval ports heads with small manley under cut street flow valves, hydraulic roller cam,headman elite series headers 1 3/4 with a flow master system we had on our chevelle, HEI ignition, designed a cold air induction system from air cleaners and parts in the shop.
We drove it today and it drives out very nice and sounds sweet.
60 MPH @ 2100 rpms 31 inch tire.
