I am building a '85 C10. I am planning on a 6.0/4l80 swap. I want some opinions on a stall and cam. I dont have any goals but I'd be pretty happy with somewhere in the 450 range on the motor or more. I'm still going to have a/c and cruise control. I'm building the truck to be a really fast driver and still reliable. I'm doing the swap because I'm tired of messing with the carbed 305. I also plan to stay NA. I would also like to get a 9.5 rear end outta 454SS/ anyone know if they made any with disc brakes? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys

 

I was thinking 3000 stall, 3.73 gears with tru trac, and maybe a G5X3 cam?

 

the 305 isnt making power?

 

lol. any advice? I have no idea what springs or anything would be best.....

 

the most common combos are usually 3200 to 3600 stall and 220-230 duration cam.

 

Okay anything else I should do the the motor. I'm not sure yet if I'll end up with a lq4 or a lq9. The have the same heads right?

 

yes. Did you consider a big block?

 

No I guess I never have considered a bigblock. I dont know if I can get what I want outta one.

 

Same heads, as far as what else to do it depends on how high you want to spin the motor, a lot of guys like to replace the rod bolts with ARP's, and I've heard that the Katech rod bolts are good too.

 

okay thanks, i'm thinking the G5X3 is too big of a cam.
