Wow,this thread started in Mar.08 about torque,then to be able to run with an LS6 Chevelle and do it on a budget? I think the LS6 made 450hp and 500ft lb in stock form.
Didn't the LS6 have some good flowing heads and a solid cam in them? I think it will take more than TQ to make them run together. A good torquey 440 will run out of steam as that LS6 starts working.
10.5:1 comp. ratio,some good heads,a modern cam(maybe solid)exhaust,converter,gears,etc.If you want to run with that LS6,you'll have to build it w/similar components.

P.S Ron's(383 Man) is your guideline,well thought out and executed combo!



TQ over a wide rpm band.
