And more. You may need to look at the clutch, but the T18 should be able to handle all you can put down.

 

I'm showing up to this thread late and haven't read the whole thread, but I just saw the question on the T18 and didn't know if switching to a steel flywheel was mentioned. It will be less likely to shatter than a cast flywheel.

 

Basically the same topic here, but more discussion about the rest of the truck. Sure, you can run all that power through a T18. That will be fun, especially if you self-limit your revs. Are you talking about holding a 6000 RPM motor to 3500?

Oh no by all means I will rev it up to 5500 or so when I'm feeling speedy. But I more meant constant rpms I wouldn't hold it at anything above 4k

 

This forum has achieved a lot more attention than I was expecting and I'm pretty glad about that. At the moment unless my pocket gets fatter I'll be purchasing the 445 stroker kit with stock heads for the time being until I get some more money then purchase new heads

 

When will you be updating your thread on your 445 build? I´m really curious to see what it sounds, runs and drives like on your pickup

 

I might mosey on over and do that now.
