‘79 359 Short Hood 350 Big Cam Day Cab

Get it rolling.

I have a big cam 350 and a big cam 400. Best engines ever made. Easy to work on and inexpensive to fix and rebuild.

Put that truck to work and go laugh at all the electronic nonsense.

If it is a hobby truck, enjoy it.

I have an old truck with a Detroit 671. That truck sat for over 10 years and when I put a battery to it the engine didn't make 1/4 of a turn and it started instantly and Purred like a kitten.

Old mechanical engines are the very best without even a shadow of a doubt.

Have fun.

 

I have a 2017 Prius that sat for a week behind my 1970 autocar I bought a few months back and I get into it and pushed the button and it said ready.

 

Prius?
Please hand in your man card.

 

Put 'er to work

Pictures please

 

Hey man at Carolina Gear in Raleigh you can get a crate BC Cummins for around 11k ready to roll. That's still far less for an inframe for a Cat or Detroit.....love my Big Cams

 

How much power can you reliably get from one? For a daily driver

Stacked against a 3406B, what's thoughts on who's top of the hill first?

 

Well I pull hoppers and generally run about 100k ish. There's a fella in town that has an 85 359 , 400 BC, built to 800hp.
With that said he does an inframe once a year. Between the BC vs the B model (stock)I'd say that Cat would make it to the top first......but..... That B model will cost ya. Better make sure ya pocket book is right lol.
