Id even go with somthing small like a 212-218 on 112 lsa with a 3000 stall, would still have good low end for truck stuff, but would still shine on top end. Especially on a stock engine.

With the size and weight of the truck, I would have to agree with nonnieselman, the 212/218 would be an excellent choice, although I would suggest a 2500 converter instead of the 3000.
I really feel that the camshafts listed would work fine, I would be more partial to the 2nd cam, but we would want at least a 3000 converter for it...

Thats not a "have to" or a "must" just my opinion. We for dd applications, that is generally what I would recommend, but it really depends on what kind of drivability you are looking for.

Although, if it were my personal vehicle, I would probably run a 3600 converter with a 224R on a 112LSA. Being that I only drive to work and home, such a short distance I think it would be fun for me, but again that is my personal opinion and my goals for drivability... Simply put, to each his own!

I should have stayed in sales first I talked him in to a cam. Then just about to close on a converter and already got him thinking about some heads haha
