I purchased a 1977 Chevy 3/4 ton LB 2 WD. runs on 16.5 tires . power plant is 350/ 350 has qjet mild cam ,headers, hei, accel coil one cylinder at 40 psi the rest at spec burns a lot of oil and fuel TH350 burned up also has 4.11 rear gear. I am considering a budget of 3 grand . looking to build 383 stroker using 10.1 compression with EDLEBROCK aluminium heads and not to wild of a cam ,have two aluminum intakes one single one dual plane intake holly 750 double pumper carb and going to use a V-8 5 spd transmission from a camaro . As I mentioned it has 4.11 gear it's 16.5 all terrain radial 31 inch tall tires . object is to achieve good off the line performance with upper end cruising and economy . Am I heading in the right direction? Comments and suggestions would be greatful
