I am interested in building a stronger FE for my 1969 F-250 pick-up. Currently, I am running a recently rebuilt 390, low compression, plain vanilla camshaft engine, that is anemic. I recently ran it on a dyno and it is putting out about 200 HP and about the same torque at the rear wheels. This is where I need this forums experienced advise. I am considering starting over with a 428 block, crank, rods with a complete edelbrock top end, aluminum heads, cam, and intake. I am told by people who seem to be "in the know" that this would be a great combination. I am interested in making 350 to 400 HP and torque in the RPM range of 1500 to 4000, with an emphasis on TORQUE... What do you guys think? Other thoughts? Originality is not important to me. Also, I am running a stock C-6 trans with 3:73 gears. Thanks in advance for your help.
