Looking for some input, here is my plan as of now
I am rebuilding my 96 12v to put in the truck pictured below, stricly a play truck and very little on a paved road.
I have the motor mostly dissasempled, Head is getting resurfaced next week along with o-rings being cut. Probly just lap the valves in. Hamilton cam setup with springs, BD 3 piece manifold, head porting, studs and marine gsk. 4k springs already in pump, mack plug, DDP 90's or 120's. I was going to get the Super B special, but unsure if a bolt on will work good for my application. I would like to still be making pwr in the 3k-3500 range because of my 5.13 gears. Do you think this setup would be a good runner?
Also, if you had a motor pretty far down with 200k on the ticker would u re ring it and maybe some lower end bearings, or just run it? Palnning on a nice crome hoodstack too!! I am open to any suggestions. I am also running a 727 non lock up trans. I would like to make a nice 500-550 hp. Nothing crazy, but that will be enough to rip around the dunes and race to Dairy queen with!! Also the plan is to have this in by mid August, so this is a real project!!
