The 290HP crate motor is a turd because the heads don't flow or even develop any compression to make power so the cam couldn't really work right. It might be right up your ally with a mild build and better heads.

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.

Hmm. I'll give it some thought. I was looking for a cam with around .460 lift and 290 duration but I'll take whatever. are they roller Lifters?

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.

OK...fresh off the Summit website
Camshaft lift is .450 intake / .460 exhaust. Camshaft duration at 050 is 222 degrees intake and exhaust. Lobe centerline is 114 degrees. Normal engine manifold vacuum for the 350/290 HP engine is 10-12 in
I think the vacuum stated is low...this one had about 15-16" on idle

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.

Befor and after photos of the same motor. 292 inline 6. sooooo I put the carb and headers on because I couldn't wait. but layed some color on the engine Tonight. Everything fit together perfectly. Chose Detroit diesel alpine green. Always loved the Detroit motors and how they look. So made mine look like it. Plus chevy orange is what everyone does. I like different. on the flip side, the 4 speed and my steering knuckles are chevy orange anyway

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.

Well found an air cleaner for the Carb. Thinking of changing it to an oval one. goes With The Long motor Look. But just to keep things updated. I bought a can of alpine green to finish the engine... that's about all... hoping to get it tied together a bit more this weekenD. Have one solid day to work on her maybe Saturday my goal is may 9th for the annual all American car day show in my town.

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.

Shot some color on the oil pan. And found a small hole in the bottom of it. The motor didn't leak at all when I looked at it. Turned out there was 1/2 inch of sludge in the botto.. some spots where so thick it was the consistency of Hard clay. sheesh but welded it right up and it's good as new.. and also made another attempt at tackling the brakes again. Been having a hard time with them due to the fact of stripped Bolts. Lost parts. Springs that cannot be found at any parts store. lord give me patience haha. Ended the night with installing the rear dumb seals. Went so smooth decided to call it a night.

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.

In the picture. The blue one on the top right. The 1/8 rod behind it. The parking brake spanning bar. the the two slotted steel pins that stick threw the rubber boots on the wheel cylinder. And the swinging arm that interacts with the adjuster that I believe is pinned up on the top or the rear brake shoe.. I'm worried they may have been thrown out. :/

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.

Oh and the small red spring that's a return for that adjuster arm. That one happen to be new ish from when I ulcer it apart but shouldn't be difficult to figure out a replacement. I found that a 1971 C20 had 90% of the correct springs. And only a few are a tad shorter. This is the closest Iv found for a "complete hardware kit"

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.

Sorry didn't get the picture uploaded until now. It needs a lot of TLC but the drivetrain is all original and seems to be in working order. I have a '65 ton that will take the place of this mangled sheet metal. The '65 has 66K original miles on it. Also will give me a spare 292 and 4speed for the K20. Your truck is coming along nice. I hope to get to this project one of these days. I have several on my plate towork on.

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.

Well today was a parts picking up /ordering day. But got two engine mounts. Big bag of shinny new grade 8 bolts. two weld on D loops. A clutch kit. intake gasket. Oil pan gasket. And put the oil pump on order. It'll be in by 7 tomorw. this weekend tho went up to visit two friends in Sacramento foot hills region and felt the trip was worth it. For one kimbLe (better known as 61k10) is an awesome guy. Very old school And a good ol boy. You can tell. Very generous with some transfer case parts I have been long needing and looking for. But the Thursday trip was great caught some good size fish to.
Back to trucks.. got the motor ready to instal tomorrow if the rain clears any time. Pulled off intake&exhaust. Along with front grill and core support. Pulled the old 292 out with the cracked block. And found my long lost flywheel. so hoping to work outside a bit tomorw but if not. It's full speed ahead on that transfer case. That's thing is getting finishedif it likes it or not. Big thanks to 61 k10 tho. I do t think I would be finishing this case if it wasn't for him.
