Just got the motor and transmission in ...... 351W 400hp and 410 torque.

 

Woo woo!!! Very nice!!! A like it A - L - O - T !!!

 

Really Nice.

 

Where did you purchase this combo , any links?

 

HI 54 Project, '
We bought a 351W short block & had our engine built with an Edelbrock Top End kit from Summit -
Same HP & Torque. It's a lot of engine for these old trucks.

If you are having some help with your engine - make sure they include case hardened push rods.
Our Edelbrock package ate our non-hardened rods within the first 1,000 miles...

Looks like fun up there in Burleson!

Great project! Beautiful engine! Definitely worth the wait, yes?

 

56 Panel- I had the combo built by ATK. I was really surprised at the cost and the warranty. 2 years on both !! They do have a site. Just google ATK.

 

Ben...... That is what was specked. You are right, quite a bit of horsepower for such a light truck. But I figured the ole girl would like it !!

 

Bluey .... I sure think so. Actually got both in 6 weeks.

 

Thanks I'll do that.

 

It has sure been a while............ but it's still going got the rearend and suspension rebuilt and changed out........... front end almost done........

 

great truck

 

Looking good
From where did you purchase the front end, I got min from Jhonny law motors it looks deferent than what you got, l had to modifi it to avoid welding it to the frame

 

I bought mine from Mid Fifties but it actually came in CPP boxes. I guess they buy from them.

 

Thanks for the quic replay, min are also from CCP
this is my truck now on its way to the exshuast shop
