The Hunt for Grunt! That’s what I’m all about right now as I have a big block in my 1987 Chevrolet Crew Cab Dually that is in need of some love. We’re going to swap the heads and do a bunch of other bolt ons to the short block in order to build a lot more power and torque, but if the thing only made 300 horsepower I wouldn’t care as long as the big torque was there. In this video from Richard Holdener you are going to see him build a 468 just for towing. Check it out.
