time for paint and chrome!

nomrlz · 07-25-2010, 09:52 PM

406 is a good motor for trucks. hella-torque monster

*Ticker* · 07-25-2010, 11:02 PM

Cool

Do yourself a favor and check everything out carefully before dropping it in. A couple of hours looking things over now can save you a bunch of time later if there's a few minor things that need to be addressed.

yeah we are pulling the heads and putting new head gaskets (even know he said he just put them in) make sure the weep holes are not coverd by the gasket. also painting it over.and finding a carb.

what size should i go with? 750

jrcaprai · 07-25-2010, 11:19 PM

Yep go with a 750 At least... course that depends on the Heads Cam and Compression, what does it have in it? Why do you want to sell the Manifold?

238/239 duration, stock 400sbc heads with 1.94 and 1.50 valves

jrcaprai · 07-25-2010, 11:40 PM

I think you'd do great to throw a 750 on it, I have an 850 on mine... need to get some heads to let that thing eat though!

3r!c84 · 07-25-2010, 11:44 PM

yeah !!! heads would do wonders.

jrcaprai · 07-25-2010, 11:46 PM

If you get the Dough to do heads give Chad Speier a Call.... thats where I bought my 210cc profilers from... 1295.00

3r!c84 · 07-25-2010, 11:48 PM

alright thanks also what size convetter should i go with? with my th350 (just thought id ask here before i get on the phone with a pro)

jrcaprai · 07-25-2010, 11:51 PM

I have a 3000 RPM in mine, I'll bet yours would be good with a 2500-2800 RPM ???

3r!c84 · 07-25-2010, 11:53 PM

yeah its going to be more of a street then strip truck. also got 3.42 gears,mite be getting 3.73 with a posi

jrcaprai · 07-25-2010, 11:56 PM

I have a 3.73 Posi in mine... I love it... I say 2500-2800 due to the cam you have... My cam is about 10° more than yours...

3r!c84 · 07-26-2010, 12:08 AM

what did you run on the 1/4? just wondering with yourset up

jrcaprai · 07-26-2010, 12:17 AM

I used to have a 435 hp 383 that ran High 12's ... I have not ran the 408 yet! it put out 557 on the Dyno, soooo, I would say faster than high 12's ???? lol

68Timber · 07-26-2010, 12:39 AM

Nice score! Keep the intake.

Baloney - they'll rev like anything else with the right cam and heads. They were just choked by smogger heads and 2bbl intakes in their original configuration. They respond VERY WELL to good size heads and the correct camshaft.

*Ticker* · 07-26-2010, 10:03 AM

I'd honestly consider swapping the cam - it's really a drastic mis-match for the heads unless they've been professionally ported to perfection...and even then, it's too big

Davidmichael · 07-26-2010, 10:32 AM

damn nice engine!

68longhorn · 07-26-2010, 12:29 PM

If you sell the intake what are you getting? The RPM is a great intake.
