Video of my '73 truck - new cam, heads, and exhaust
Here's a short video of my '73 C10. I bought it a few months ago. The truck was bone stock with 15,000 original miles.
Notice the use of the word "was". I pulled the engine apart and replaced the factory heads with a set of 305HO heads (-416 casting) to bump up the compression ratio from 7.8:1 to 9.7:1. I replaced the cam with a Comp 262XE. The intake is an Edelbrock Performer with a matching 600 cfm carb that I rebuilt. Headers are stainless steel ones that I bought cheap on eBay. The pipes are a cheap dual kit from Summit. Now let's see if the video works... Ed |

Re: Video of my '73 truck - new cam, heads, and exhaust
You may have an exhaust hanger issue on the right tailpipe. Oh, and someone took your tires and wheels. It sounds really good, though. I have that same cam sitting new in the box in my garage right now. Now I know how it'll sound. Thanks!

Re: Video of my '73 truck - new cam, heads, and exhaust
Thanks for the compliments!
I'm in the middle of several other projects... such as hanging a new exhaust system. I also have the inner fenders and core support removed so I can repaint them. Having all that sheetmetal removed certainly made it easy to swap the heads. |
