This would be a much torquer engine for the heavy truck you have. Do the 408 while you have it apart and it will work much better.

Good luck, Keith Craft

That sounds good and the 408 surely would provide the torque needed, we would need to find a better set of heads for the 408, the 289 heads would not be enough to make the 408 do it's job, if the deal on the used alum. Edlebrocks comes thru, the 408 would sound real good, I'll let you know.......

Thanks;
