Project Silverback... 87 Camper Special
#1
[img alt="Here is my 87 model 3/4 ton camper special. It has a 454/400 setup with a 14 bolt rear with 4.10 gears. It pulls ok but i plan on getting more power out the truck. I plan on keeping the truck big block powered as it will serve me as a tow rig to pull my car whenever and anywhere i want to go. Reason why i plan on building a better well thought out big block for the truck is because thia truck have one of the weakest 454s GM ever produced at 230hp/330TQ.

Cool truck. I like it.
220HP is pretty low by today's standards, even with that amount of tq. I wonder how much you can gain by doing mods to it? 100HP more? 🤔🤷 You would need aftermarket heads to get more airflow and HP, no?
That's a TBI setup, right? Are you keeping that?
