Peak HP was 410 at 5,000, 421tq. It started falling off steadily past 5,000 rpm but the torque curve was very long and flat. That's exactly what I'm looking for. Consider the application. 5300 lbs 3.23 gears tight converter 29" tires Tons of torque everywhere is what I need.

I had a couple ram engines rebuilt, one was a 1960 300F 413 engine with 63 300J short ram intakes and 3505s carbs. Stock stroke, stock compression, stock small valve heads with a very light pocket cleanup and a mild cam (similar to stock, went with a hyd roller) basically a stock rebuild but with lighter pistons and a warmer cam. I had it dyno'd and it performed well. TQ peak was at 3,600 rpm/351hp. Peak HP was 410 at 5,000, 421tq. It started falling off steadily past 5,000 rpm but the torque curve was very long and flat. Being frank, I would be disappointed with those numbers, unless those are at the wheel. This is not directed at your motor, it just might be what it is combo.

as the intended intake[s] on my 33 humpback panel, the intakes are really, as scott said, just for show. however, there will be good heads, bigger cam, higher stall converter, bigger gears, and cut and welded intakes. i know the shortcomings of this intake, but the truck shouldn't weigh much over 2500 lbs, so this combination should be a fun deal. [i hope !]
