Are we talking towing it or a tug of war?

Yeah Get a 5.8 and build it up before you do it. His built 350 will probably shred you. You need more torque.

The 5.0s in our ford trucks arent really known for torque, and well chevys are. Especially if its a 350 and its built. If it were a stock 305 I would consider it but not if its such a larger motor.

put more air in your rear tires makem good and hard and let out some in the front just so you can see a bulge at the bottom of them.if the chevy has a standerd trans and you an auto just hold your brakes till his tires start smokin.then let off the brakes and stand on it.lo lock of corse.what ever you if this is on blacktop do not yank the wheel back and forth while your wheels spinin some think this helps,it does for the other guy when your u-joints break
