That is quite the monster you plan on building! Low gearing will compensate for lower power :) An SM465 with a 205 or an Atlas would work real good. Also an RV cam will build torque right off of idle which is what you want.

Any ways looking forward to seeing you get it done!

I hope to plan on building it like that haha Do you personally think I should get 1 ton rears, i feel like it's going to be too much for my 1/2 tons. But I don't know all too much about it. I'm still learning :angels2: I'll look into that totally! Thanks for the advice :) I really appreciate it! :D

No prob:)

With 42s a Dana 60 front axle and a 14 bolt FF rear end is a must IMO. Also gonna need some ladder bars for the rear with that high of a lift. And a real good Quadjet will do real good even on a 454. I beat Holleys with BF hammers lol

I think somebody said that Demon now makes an offroad carb. Its all most impossible to beat the off camber performance of a good Quadjet with its centrally located float bowl

Lemme write this stuff down hold on :p I have a Rodchester Quadrajet on there right now, my dad tuned it basically just right. Sad thing is, with my stock exhaust it doesn't sound loud. But with my exhaust leak at the doughnut it makes my truck sound like its all cammed out and sounds good hahahaha that's so sad to say but it's true. :bawl:

Definitely keep the carb then! Pick up an Edelbrock Performer 2-0 #2161. I think the RPM air gap would work well too Edelbrock #7561 especially if you plan on doing lots of mudding!

Headers will really help a big block breathe especially when you put in a cam!

I would port and polish the heads and gasket match the intake to the heads.


I am not the most experienced with big blocks but the basics are the same. There are a few big block guys on this forum though so when your ready just post a thread in the appropriate category and then guys will chime in a lot more then on an introduction thread

For example "How do I build a baddass 42" Monster ?" :)

Haha no worries. If you scroll down to the bottom right corner of the page you will see a little box that says "Search Forums" click on it and there you have all the categories. Click on the appropriate category and it will give you all the threads that have been started in that category. At the top left of that page there is a little box that says "New Thread" click on that to start your own thread. Put your title and what your issue is and then hit post. :) Then sit back and :popcorn:
