The Hunt for Grunt Part 2! 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.

Video Description:
HOW CAN I MAKE MORE TORQUE ON PUMP GAS? DOES A 496 STROKER MAKE MORE TORQUE THAN A 454? CAN I RUN BOOST ON PUMP GAS? IS BIGGER REALLY BETTER? WILL A STROKER MOTOR RESPOND BETTER TO A BLOWER? HOW MUCH BOOST CAN I RUN WITH A STROKER! HOW MUCH BETTER IS A 496 THAN A 454? WHAT IS THE BEST STROKER CAM? WHAT IS THE BEST BOOST CAM? DOES LOWER COMPRESSION REDUCE BOOST? CHECK OUT PART 2 OF THE HUNT FOR GRUNT SERIES WHERE I UPPED THE DISPLACEMENT OF THE ORIGINAL 461(MISLABELED 468) TO 496 INCHES. I ALSO ADDED A BIGGER CAM, LOWER COMPRESSION AND ALUMINUM CANFIELD CYLINDER HEADS. JUST FOR GIGGLES-I THREW IN A CARB SPACER TEST, BUT FINISHED OFF WITH THE 420 MEGA BLOWER AND VARIOUS BOOST LEVELS.
