And the rest I have yet to get. But the total with parts and labor came out to around $6k. Judging from a buddies similar build I should be putting around 310 hp and 340 torque at the flywheel. Motor is backed by a TKO600 5 speed.


I'm not picking at your build TJ, but just think, after spending $6000 bucks, you just barely ended up with more HP than an $800 bone stock 4200 makes, just think if you threw the remaining $5200 difference at the 4200 where you'd be. Wow, i'm starting to sound like Marc now! LOL


I'd probably be at 600 hp! LOL! But I like my 292 so I kept it...also I was stoked that I could even hotrod it so I did cause I didn't want a boring SBC in the truck. lol Also it kind of matches the truck better than a 4200 IMOP. That motor is a little new looking for a 66 C10 in my opinion....Just me being picky. lol
