Mileage: |

Engine: |
400 w/ Edelbrock 600 cfm carb, Weiand intake manifold, 9:1 pistons, bored .030 over. |
Drivetrain: |
Stock. Want to upgrade to Dana 60 front/rear and heavy duty u-joints. |
Notes: |
400s are great engines if built correctly. Watch for cracked heads and go aftermarket. No reason why you can't get 300 hp/350 lb/ft torque for a reasonable amount of money. Mine is a great daily driver. 12 mpg city/14 mpg highway. |
