Thanks Pat for answering my question about the 049 castings. I know that the 35" tires and the 373 gears will not make this a fast truck. We have this engine and we are going to build it up and then we will put in the gears and tires that will improve the performance.
I know what TURD is because it had a 308 gears with a tired 350. It has a 6" lift that we don't like and will drop it back down and replace the 35" with something better.
As for the original question, I am glad that you answered it. Thanks again, Pat.
