Thread: 383 for towing a travel trailer

Since I have already purchased the 1 1/2" headers, how can I make up the 30lbs of torque?

Ummmm, have you thought about selling the small headers and buying the correct ones?

Small huffer would be nice.

They headers are already on the truck. Even though I am not ready for the engine overhaul, when I bought the truck last week, the exaust system was in bad shape.(Both exhaust manifolds were cracked and the muffler was blown out). So in order for me to even drive the thing until I am ready to pull the engine, I had to put a complete exhaust system on it.

The truck I have been pulling my trailer with is a Ford f250 extra cab, 3/4 ton with a 351W(210 HP, 315 lbs. of torque). My goal is a Chevy small block with 350+ HP and 400+ lbs of torque at about 3000 RPM.

So if these smaller headers take away 30 lbs of torque. it will just have to do for now.
