What if: Building an Inline Six Torque Monster - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I've got this 1981 C10 longbed in pretty good barn-fresh condition, body's solid and it runs pretty well. (It's currently in the shop getting the Varajet carburetor and a vacuum leak sorted out, but that's another story.) The transmission is the venerable Saginaw 3-speed.

Let's say I wanted to build an engine for it as an exercise in getting all possible torque out of a GM inline six. Engine could bolt to the current transmission or I could swap in some other manual.

I would find for myself a clean rebuildable 292 core. What next?
