Thanks Tom, That's good advice. I'm torn on piston choice. Will I ever get to the turbo? If I do I'll need forged pistons and a bit lower compression. If I don't get there I'll want higher compression for max power. I agree on the 1.84 Stock exhaust? I have lumps and a tube header for now. refi-diy's comments about the TV cable on the 700R4 might help make the turbo decision. If I get it going and am happy without the turbo I'll just skip that. I'm pretty sure a healthy NA TBI 292 Would fill my trucking needs. A guy I knew used to tow his backhoe over the Sierras one.
That Cam could use stock rockers, springs and pushrods?
