I say if your big problem is your not getting stuck at minimum sell your tires and switch to a smaller set say in the 39" range that way its not so freaking big

Its not that I'm not getting stuck, its that I can go places that they can't get to, so if I do get stuck its Imposable to get out. Even now witth a 10000 pound winch we have to tie 3 -5 rigs together to get me unstuck. I can usually just give them a couple tugs and they are out when they get stuck.

the one and only time i got the 88 stuck it took 6 people, a D-6 Cat dozer, and almost 200 ft of chain to get it out.
and that took most of the day.
the fuel pump crapped out in the middle of a swamp, about 3/4 mile off the road on the way into the site i was working at.

But really in all the tech books I've seen it says 351M/400 is ok to .060.

I'm just goin cheap here. $175 for crank amd pisions, slap it together and see if it will go or blow. If I out ran "500hp" 460s when it was first built in my 78, I think it will make that 37 haul.
