need advice on how to build a high horsepower c-16

KH, the truck in question is a 1974 pete 359. It's a bare truck and I'm going at it from the ground up.

 

For that, I would talk to muleskinner. He had a 359 stretched with a marine grade engine I believe. Also, is it a exhd or short hood?

KH

 

KH, it's got a short hood but I figure I can change it to exhd or even a custom hood if need be.

 

I am putting a set of 58 injectors in mine tomorrow. I'll let you know how they work.

 

are you planning using the truck for regular work or just plain show?

The C-16 is easy to get big HP numbers out of...........but it also builds big torque at the same time. If you put the 800 Hp marine injectors in..............you will need a custom built clutch to go with it.

 

I would be very interested on how it works out........Let us know.

 

KH, planning on using truck for work. Just tired of weak kneed stock rigs that couldn't pull their own ### up a hill.

 

Mr.Haney, where would I go for custom clutch work? I've read about those Lipe clutches which the guy at pittsburgh power seems to suggest.

 

I have found 58 's installed to give around 80 hp to the ground over the stock 57's
