How many rpm is good for my 66 Stepside - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi folks,

i have a 1966 C10 stepside. It has a 350 transmission and a 350 engine out of a 1980 C10. It has a Edelbrock intake manifold and carburetor (650). Rest is all stock. Without any changes this engine has only about 170hp i think with the named Edelbrock stuff it could have about 200hp now.

I had some discussions with my friends, all driving old Chevys, about how fast the truck could go. I don't wanted to test it by myself yet ;-) What do you think? How many rpm would you go without a risk of serious damages?

Thanks for your estimates. I will try it and give feedback what happend

greetings from germany (sorry for my bloody english)

this is it (for those who haven't seen yet) :
