'69 396 2-barrel

I have one of these engines I used to run in a old pickup truck I had. Gobs of low rpm torque. I swear the engine would run at 200 rpm. You couldn't lug it down. I used to drive it up the driveway in high gear at 10 mph and it wouldn't jump or anything. It.s the same shortblock as a 325 with a 109cc head to lower the compression. Still have it for future use. I think it would be a good combo in stock as long as you had something big enough to haul it and the big car that goes with it around.
