Given the above how much of it would you use for a good torque truck engine?? What items would you purchase to replace above items? Any input appreciated!!!

I have a .485" lift hydraulic roller in my motorhome, it's AWESOME. 2.02 heads, 10 to 1 compression, M1 intake, headers, it pulls HARD. I'm not sure I would run a big solid roller though....

I would have rods and the crank mag checked. For heads I would use Magnum's... and take the time and effort to build it for tight .040" quench with compression in the low 9's. This will provide power, economy and detonation resistance on hard pulls. The cam needs replaced with a torque grind and the carb with a vac secondary type. Personally I would keep it a 360 and not go with a 4" stroke as side loading on long pulls with a shorter rod/stroke may reduce life. The above should get you a 250 net/300 gross HP engine... respectable and capable as a truck engine.

I'd reuse the intake, rockers, and dizzy, maybe the heads, conrods and carb, no need for a race block, I'd go stock block, SCAT 4" crank, KB, ICON, or diamond dished pistons, and a hydaulic like a lunati voodoo 60401. ideally I'd probably use a demonsizzler t-quad or the new t-quad style carb that demmon (or was it barry grant) just released, and I'd probably use magnum heads. 1976 Spinnaker White Plymouth Duster, /6 A833OD 1986 Silver/Twilight Blue Chrysler 5th Ave HotRod SOLD!* 2011 Toxic Orange Dodge Charger R/T 2017 Grand Cherokee Overland 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude (holy crap, my daughter is driving)

I used a MP purpleshaft 268/272 duration .455 lift cam. It worked great. I also used a thermoquad instead of the double pumper to help on fuel mileage. 392 gen III hemi on E-85 727 trans Dana 60 10.02@134
