Tq monster: what would you build? ok I have a 84 chevy K10 with a weak 305. its a work truck so I am not worried about HP but I want a tq monster. what would you build? prefferably a small block on a 5k budget
I am thinking:
383 w roughly 10-1 compression
aluminum heads

edelbrock performer intake
speed demon carb
truck has headers and dual exaust

Vortecs would be good, but if you want aluminum heads for some good compression L98 Corvette heads.

There are a couple of decent sources for flow #s AND intake port sizes. Looks like for iron heads, the 882 castings would also work, I imagine used ones would be extremely cheap.

i can't remenber exactly but i'm pretty sure they were stock.i know the comp cam extreme energy .477/.480 cam is a good choice,but the 5oo ft/lbs is the most i've seen so far.personally i'd go with the extreme energy cam myself.

Yep, the Vortecs are def. weak on the exhaust side.
I would be sure to run enough cam to fill the cylinders, but keep the duration in check, and I wouldn't run a regular performer intake, at least go with a higher level dual plane.
I always liked the Weiand Stealth for mild motors.

Are you only wanting to use a SBC? If not I would recommend a 472/500 Caddy motor. I have a buddy that has found many for about 300.00-500.00 running and they will make a ton of torque very low in the RPM range. Just a thought.

Why don't you use the Edelbrock E-tec 170's as they are aluminum and flow better than L31 Vortecs plus have good springs and screw in studs and are under a grand. I would go with the 650 Demon if you are used to Holley carbs,I have a 750 and like it.You might want to try one of the Edelbrock carbs.

If I was gonna do it I would like to build a stroked 400ci ie 415 or 427ci 
But you are talking BIG money. You could do something similar to what I'm building 383ci Eagle bottom end (all forged) and some E-tecs I went with the 200's trying to kill the tourque a lil (there is no weight in the back of a '65 C10) and the Holley Stealth Ram with a Comp XFI292. I was talking to my macineist who actually is a race shop (build all kinds of race cars and motors) he figures it'll be over 500/500 all day we'll dyno it early next year and see
