Hey guys, I'm new here and have a question about my project, a '46 chevy pickup. I have a 40k mile 400sbc from a '76 impala. I would like to use this engine in my '46 and have around 400-450hp. It looks like the performer rpm package (heads cam intake and carb) will get it in this range and take the guesswork out of building the top end, but will the stock shortblock (other than flat top pistons and balanced rotating assembly) handle it? It'll rarely if ever see more than 6000rpm. Any opinions on this particular set up? It'll be backed up by a 700r4 and 3:73 gears.
Thanks in advance for any input, great site too.
