Thread: chevy 400 build help

Tweet

Thanks for the responce and hope I'll be forgiven. The engine I want to put together is a 400 chevy small block bored 30 over. I will be running cast 64cc votec heads and a th350 tranny with a rearend gear of 373. This engine will also have a 650 holley carb. This engine is going in a 1970 C-10 2wd truck automatic. I would like for this engine to have awesome torque and good horsepower. I am looking for the truck to be quick from stoplight to stoplight in a matter of speaking. But I still want to be able to run pump gas in the truck and not have to use racing gas. I would like info on building the block I just have the block, need to know pistons , cam and all compnets to make this engine hum from stoplight to stoplight. Hope this is enough info on my engine. I am new to engine building and don't really know alot, I guess you could say I am soaked behind the ears. That is the main reason I posted the question on this forum was to get help and advice from people that would know how to tell me to build the engine, so I could get out of the engine what I wanted. I posted for help and advice and to learn a thing or two about building a 400 small block. I learned I have to be alittle more open minded in reference to other people's comments. Now if anyone could help me put this engine where I want it I will be greatful. God Speed
