i plan on doing the body fist seeing its what i started on already , doing floors and rocket pannels so i can get the truck on the road cause it currently runs , i just meed the cab to have no holes so i can feel safer getting back and forth from the garage i am gonna be working at which is 10 miles both ways and no trailer or dolly =)

ok,,,here it is,,I can't tell you how many people I have pointed in this direction.The big question is,,,,,do you like spending more money than you need to,,,,I don't think so,,,,,,So log on to ebay and look for ebay stores,the two I use on a regular basis are,,,whiteperformance,,they are in Tenn.and,,,Shannon industries,,you can build just about anything you want for about a third of what your going to spend at Jegs or Summit.They also have crate engines available.The parts are excellent,,I know because I use them.No junk at either store.LOok under car and truck parts.If you have a difficult time finding them let me know and I will give you a sale number that will help you locate them.

600+ horsepower at the flywheel will most likely require a power adder.

My buddy built a 406 last year for his nova. Good parts, healthy cam, good compression and it made 368 rear wheel on the dynojet. It was a little fat and the timing was close but I think that 375 or 380 is all she would have made. 500 rear wheel seems a little high for your small block on pump gas but Im sure it could be done

A little off the subject but I built a 350 and had the block zero decked now it sucks intake gaskets. like it's cool. I'm guessing I should have had the intake machined to match?
