400 SBC Build - Tight Budget
Don't be argumentative just for the sake of it. Yes, you can install a 4 cyl with a turbo and make more power than a stock smogger 454, but that obviously is not my point. EVERYONE can see the point made, destroking your 400 will not instantly make it a high revving powerhouse that blows away...- 68post

400 SBC Build - Tight Budget
Destroking an engine is a step backwards, unless it is to reach a cubic inch limit for class racing. Potentially less HP, or maybe the same HP - but at a higher rpm, but always with less TQ. 302 ci loses to a 327, and the same comparing a 327 to a 350, or 350 to a 400. OP, good choice on the...- 68post

14 bolt gear ratio?
The quick n dirty is a trans swap only. Small differences in rear gear ratio are hardly noticed unless there's a big jump, and around town - not at all. The .70 overdrive of a 4L60/700R4 makes the 4.56 gear feel like a 3.21 exactly (do the math, 3.192). I wouldn't go with any higher in a truck...- 68post

Question on tire size for an '85 K20...
Your rim width, if wider than stock, will have an effect on what rubs. 33's on a ten inch rim will hit the back of the front fender on a K30, I can hear mine touch with new springs, 1" zero rates, and ORD HD shackles (extra 1/2"). My rims are 10" tho' and 305 tire size, 285's fit better -...- 68post

14 bolt gear ratio?
Keep in mind that spending money to achieve better mileage is very counterproductive until the monies spent is gained back, which takes time, sometimes a lot of time, if ever !- 68post

Adios Detroit Locker, your time is up!
This all matched my experience with using a Detroit in my cab n chassis (w/14' box), nothing more surprising than going straight at a stop sign with the wheels turned before pushing in the clutch and the truck finally does turn. Lots of popping, banging, and crunching sounds, just not at all...- 68post
