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!
