No. Just me and my niece. Tried to send him as many pics as possible. Cell service is terrible in the stadium. I told him it would have been a good weekend to come down. He's probably happy he didn't judging by the final outcome of the game!

Plenty of useable power for his needs.
A similarly equipped 6.0 will be $5000-$7000 more than its gasser counterpart. Then $5000-$7000 for a "real" bulletproof from a reputable shop.

That's all man. Don't have to convince me. Just cheaper, more reliable, and more truck than he'll need
Thats a little low on a 3v V10. I had my V10 tuned from 5Star along with full banks stuff.. It made 310/440 to the wheels and my truck sat on 38's. This was done on a Dynojet

That was just the specs from 07 Edmonds. Definitely would run a 3.5" catback, drop in, and troyer tunes

Considering stroking this thing since I already have to have it bored anyways. It says it'll go fine with my iron heads which is good, just not sure what all I would need on my top end to feed that many cubes.

Also, what's the difference in H beam and I beam rods? I assume it's which way the sides are turned and one is stronger than the other?

Looks great!

Just take your time on the rest, - your getting close to the best part of this endeaver.

Stretch it out lol.

This one is sort of special interest for me. I recall when you were just thinking about it, -at another site. I think I told you , -don't waste your time ? It was awhile ago, but I'm sure it was you.

So , make me eat my words lol.

It's the difference between the height & width ratio. H - beams are stronger because the center of the beam is shorter, giving it more flex resistance.

I see I knew it had to be something like that.

As far as your top end, I'd go roller & some port & polish work with the heads. A mid to high rise intake ( the longer the runners, the better torque you'll build) and a 750 should suffice.

[MENTION=45175]BrowningSCrew[/MENTION], [MENTION=27718]bobkyle2[/MENTION] would be able to give you some good advice on these older push rod motors. I know he builds chevy's, but he's got to have at least a little intelligence about him.

Edit: love ya Bob.
