If your going with a hyd roller cam then I think the Lunati Voodoo 262/270 20510710 would be perfect works with a stock converter and would make great power

I would go with a gear ratio of 3.23 with your 29 inch tires

The stroker kit is a bit out of my budget. Plus, with the truck being so light in the rear IIm afraid that would be overkill for me. My trans doesn’t have a torque converter. It has what’s called a torus. I don’t know much about them, but I am not willing to pull it out hence why I’m stuck to a 59 or 60 389. IDK how sensitive hydramatics are to cams. But I do like wat the descriptions say about that cam.
I’m just trying to build what I have without butchering the truck or doing anything that can’t be easily undone to it. Otherwise I’d set it down on the c20 frame in my way and slap my L92 or 418 stroker LS and 6L90 I have laying around in it. But this ain’t really the kind of truck to do that to.
