Hi everybody I'm new here, I have a 71 C-10 with a 250. I'd like it to be all it can be street wise. Going slowly in stages. Intake, carb then exhaust. Maybe a rv type cam. I'm running a Saganaw three sp. 4/10 gears rear end. I'm not building a Hot Rod but a shop truck 6 with some grunt. I'm also interested in lump port heads. Well hello again, hope to make some friends here.

Hi Ryan, welcome. You have lots of options. If you plan to do some real modifications, check out the HiPo shop. Don't be afraid to keep the 250. Have fun!

Leo

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

Thanks guys, I just need to figure out what the best parts combo is for a daily driver with some 200 - 250 horses.

guys over in the engine forum will certainly have opinions,or let you know what they have done. With the 410 rear end it probably already has quite a bit of grunt. Might even be called a stump puller smile

It really likes 55-60 mph on the high way.
