Thread: what should I do?

Tweet

I currently drive a 1993 gmc 1500 2wd, regular cab long box. It has a 305CI TBI with an auto trans(4L60-E) in it and it has a 308 rear end. It currently is my daily driver but when I'm done my rebuild I am hoping for it just to be a for fun project truck. I bought a 350 TBI out of a 95 pickup and it is at the machine shop as we speak its getting bored 30 over with flat top pistons 4 valve release. Im hoping to be pushing 400hp when im all said and done which is a lot of work I know but it will be my project truck. I was going to put in a carb and a manual trans so I can take out the computer. Im going to put a good set of headers on it and a good intake. I have an full edelbrock fuel system with a liftpump as well as, AFR 195 heads. What kind of camshaft should I run in this 350 I want something lumpy and mean sounding with some good power. The machine shop was thinking I should go with comp cams 477 480lift (part # 12-600-4). What are peoples thoughts about this? How does everything sound?

I don't know how Canadian law reads, but in America you can earn some pretty stiff penalties for disabling the factory-installed system. I would never have undertaken what you intend to do anyway and would have begun my "quick-truck" project with a pre-computer, pre-emissions truck, '66 or older. What you are going to end up with is an illegal vehicle that you will not be able to sell when you get tired of it.

I know longer need to do emission test on my truck because it is considered a classic and were I live it is E test exempt so thats not a problem. ALso, I dont plan on selling this truck.
