The truck is a brick in the wind probably weighing around 4k pounds (Thats if its a single cab short bed truck).

You should be able to beat the pants off of him like you sit now
This..... The people calling you an idiot are the idiots.... You should be an easy 1k lighter and unless he has a hardcore motor you should be OK..

make sure everything will go together and make sure it will start first. If so i wouldnt think you would have any problem beating a truck... a stock internals LS1 would beat that old farm truck

Just run it.

Yes the manifolds will hurt the power, but you have the power to weight ratio advantage big time even with the sub-par heads.

Like already stated, unless its an ALL OUT 383 than you should have him covered. If he starts comin around you, turn the squeeze on.
