Yo - 'Ho...
There are many similarities with our trucks...5.13 gears, 44's, built 460s. Tell me more about your engine, I'm curious. And since the pm feature is gone, I'm sure everybody else is too

I have a 390 in my F-100, i have to be easy with the gas, or i snap u-joints. The engine has a crane cam, only about .5 lift, but plenty of offroading. I have a 4-v edelbrock intake, with a 750 cfm edelbroke carb, a MSD Blaster 2 ignitoin coil, hooker headers, dual 2.5 inch exhaust, high volume oil pump, double roller cam chain, 10:1 comp pistons, summit water pump 40% more flow than stock, 6 blade fan, engine oil cooler, remote oil filter, and the blue oval on the front.

i think hes tlkin bout my motor
uhh it aint reall ynuthin special
460 bored .60 over to 472ci
226/234 @ .50 comp cams extreme 4x4 cam
.540 somthing/.560 something lift
dove-a's with 2.19 1.76 valves
bowl work and port work on exhaust side
roller rockers, hardened pushrods w/ guidplates
perf rpm intake with 870 holley
tweaked duraspark setup with fat coil
10:1 compression
l&l headers
mcleod 12 inch clutch
i went with the smaller cam and dual plane intake so it would still have a decent amount of low end, but sometimes i wish it had a single pane and a fatter cam....and a 514 crank, and etc etc.......

I dunno, sounds pretty sweet to me...really not all that disimilar to mine...although my overbore and stroke and does make a difference. I would have put 514 in my sig but most of the times when people ask what I have I get a blank stare with that. Everybodies familiar with the 460 though. Used to be a 514 was a big boy, but now everybodys punching & stroking em up way past that. 'Sides, your like me, its never enough. Now I want to do a blown alchol motor thats around 1300hp. Know a fellow who builds them and has a pretty solid formula. Only problem with that...once I get to that point where do you go from there?
I've found that these 385 series engines have such a massive low end you can go pretty huge on your cam and still have it responsive, provided everything else is matched for it. A victor and a roller cam would really liven yours up
But I'll stick with dual planes for off-roading. Which roller rockers your running? You always hear about their short life span but my Harland Sharps been holding up well.

once you get the 1300 hp...you build a mud buggy aorund it...lol
i actually had a drag racin buddy of mine offer to put one of his full roller 514's in my truck..he wanted me to run it in a bog or two just for kicks...i think it made near 800 hp na'ed.....but he had go juice to put it over 1000 im thinking of taking him up on the offer.. lol just to see how much i can destroy in my drivetrain
im running the cranes.....no probs as of yet (knock on wood) i ran the motorsports rockers in another 460 i built they kicked butt too...but they were about 100 bucks more
i have seriously been thinking of going a couple sizes up on the cam.....i think my heads and carb could handle it....and i dont run on the street anymore unless im dirving it to go wheel...maybe i should try one out???? would a single plane be necessary to make it work right???
i can spin these 44 tsls fine in deep mud...in 4 hi 2nd gear.....but more power never hurt anyone
i toasted my 6th 1330 joint in the rear last weekend.. i called jess and got a nice 1410 setup on the way
i love blowing $$ on stouter stuff
tell me about your setup..pro

Yea, I think you'd like a bit bigger cam, since your heads have been worked. Heck, I've got the cj stealth on mine and it works fine...course, its friggin huge for a dual plane. It supposedly works so well I know a bunch of guys who race with it. Although a Victor would be sweet in that combo, I'll stick with a dualie on a heavy truck. I'd say my combo is a cheap version of the Ford crate:
4.14 offset stroker crank, 4.44 bore (that made a bit nervous but they've proven solid as long as they sonic check), Stealth cj intake, Holley HP 950 double pumper, Dove heads stage III ported with CJ ss valves, HS roller rockers, 10:5.1 comp, L&L headers, 3" dual exhuast, msd ignition, JE pistons, crane cam...forget the number but good lope at idle and 10 vc at idle which isn't to bad. Some other misc. stuff. DD makes it out to well over 600 horse and torque all in well by 6k, which is all I run it up to. Lots of hp can be found in the heads on these, but it sounds like you already went that route.
Your cranes are a good roller, many would say better than the HS even.

Thanks Tex. Ho, thats a fine build for your senior year in high school! I couldn't have afforded it, so it puts you ahead of the curve....by the time your my age you'll be sneering at measly old 800+hp engines

My front stock shafts used to totally cut loose on me every time the front end come off the ground. Since replacing them with alloys no shaft breakage. Probably should just beef up to something better than a puny front hp 60
