Drive with the new gears first. Once you get a feel, I think you'll want to keep the bottom end torque that the U cam is giving you hauling 4500lbs. In which case, the 2800 would probably be a...

It's a bit complicated, but I'll try to simplify.

The GENIII passenger vehicles (Corvette, Firebird, etc.) were in the low-mid 10s with aluminum block/heads premium. The small engine trucks...

Slow the centrifugal curve to be all in at 2700-3000rpm (you have it way too quick). Then drive it with the vacuum connected to see if you get part throttle knock. If it does, keep removing vacuum...

Depends on the year. 2020 they replaced the V10 with the 7.3L pushrod V8.

If the camshaft has a lot of overlap, it'd probably like a decent amount of initial. The R2R comes with the 21* limiter installed. So, I'd go ahead and install the black limiter (18*) along with 1...

The original OHC6s were pretty heavy (similar to a SBC), but so are the all-iron Pontiac V8s (like a BBC). Unless you've lightened it with aluminum intake, al heads, tubular headers, etc. should be...

Well, if the heads are original to the 1965 engine, AC Delco R45S would have been used and gapped at .035" due to the points.

Typically, if you claim it through insurance and deem it a total loss, the car becomes their property. And by law they can only sell it (back to the owner or otherwise) with a salvage title.
