Re: The Anti Farm Truck
While popular, 2 bolt mains are not bad..... if the number of bolts made a difference, you would have 4 on each rod...... I got 2000 passes out of a 2 bolt 454 with a cast crank

Re: The Anti Farm Truck
Go with the 427, you are going to need all the torque you can to ge that truck moving...

Re: The Anti Farm Truck
That tall deck 427 in stock form won't do much for you. If you're serious about going fast, take that 427 block and drop in a stroker crank and build yourself a 500+ inch big block.

Re: The Anti Farm Truck
 A two bolt with studs and steel caps is more than strong enough> Have fun

Re: The Anti Farm Truck
I agree with the 427 stroked out to 500+ cubes

Re: The Anti Farm Truck
427 and NOS some what mild until it breaks then build the bigger big block. Tracks around here are 1/8 mile so hit the button on a 175 shot.

Re: The Anti Farm Truck
Nothing wrong with a 2 bolt 350. Actually stronger then a 4 bolt with splayed caps. I have built a few of them and have never had a problem. One I shifted at 7800RPM. Put an 81 Malibu wagon in the low 11's with it.

Re: The Anti Farm Truck
You can go as fast as your wallet takes ya. What have you gotten done so far cause you cant just drop a fast motor inside the truck without dabbin in suspension and braking.

Re: The Anti Farm Truck
Junkyard LS + turbo. Never before in hot-rodding history has 700+ flywheel horsepower been so cheap and easy.
