That's what I was thinking maybe off of a 425 toranado
Ok so not much to report but I did some towing over the weekend with it......under powered slug! I can deal with chilling in the slow lane I like driving my truck but I all ways thought Jersey was flat! Not true I know where every incline from here to old bridge back to brick and out to Jackson is because with a trailer on my truck won't clime them. And it's not like a 79 Cutlass with a 350 under the hood and a 260 in the trunk is all that heavy
I need more torque asap!
I need more torque asap!
I have a complete 400 sbc core I'd be willing to part with.
I appreciate it but I think I need to go a little bigger if all works out for me I'll be towing a heavy load with this truck all the time.
But your truck is so cool I wouldn't even flip you off of you were clogging the fast lane!
How fast are you trying to go? I have pulled a lot heavier loads with rigs similar to yours. I did not have much trouble with any of the pickups. Down shift it manually and give it hell! Now a warmed up 350 will pull a lot better than a Target 350. Have you checked the compression of your engine. She might be tired. The problem I have found is we get spoiled by the power and driveability of the new stuff and forget how to make the older stuff work. My buddy used to pull a 20 foot stock trailer loaded down with fat cattle with a 260 straight six all the time. He would all ways say "any one can pull with power, only a real man can pull with a six cylinder". A manual four speed would be a lot better too.
