The engine that is in the truck was built by a buddy of mines buddy. He stopped in the other day to let me know i had his truck. The cylinders are bored .060 (way too much for that specific block) and its got a Holley Street Dominator intake and Holley 4"barrel carb. I havent ran numbers from carb yet to see what size it is but the guy says its a 750cfm.

The cam is not stock either. He says its a crane cam but cant remember what size lobe or duration or anything on it so I am hoping its going to warm up this next week so i can pull Harmonic balancer and see whats in it for sure. Its a post 87 top end, has the vortec style heads and the 4 bolts that are in the intake around carb go into heads at a straighter angle than that of the older blocks.
The kid I bought the truck from said he bought the truck with a crack in the #1 cylinder between cylinder and water jacket. I can see the crack and been looking up info about different blocks and some had more material between water jacket and cylinder. I have to finish pulling the engine to see what exact block it is but it doesn' t reall matter now as block is junk. I also have a 350 out of a 76 dump truck i am eventually going to strip and send out to my cousins engine machine shop and have him work it over. Prob only going .030 over on cylinders and have it decked. And new cam bearings put in it and what ever else he suggests. He is one of the best engine build guys I know ss far as matching parts so everything is working together and building a lasting engine. But for now i just wanna get it running so i can move it around easier to start working on her. I am going to cut new red oak boards for the floor of the bed out of my buddys 140 acre wood lot.
