Hey all. I was gifted a 1976 chevy k10 with a small block 400. The truck ran but not great so i started to play around with it and have now decided i want to take it apart and start fresh. I am looking for some direction as far as cams, heads, pistons and such to look at. i have had a lot of people tell me to stroke it out but im not sure i want to go that far. my end goal for the truck will be to have a 4 in lift on it and to have it be a daily driver when the weather is nice. I am not going to put fuel injection on it. thanks for any advice.

Don't take advice from anyone who tells you to stroke a 400 SBC for a dd. 400's daily driven on pump gas should watch the compression ratio as they are prone to detonation. 4" lift, 35"s? What trans will you be running?

I am planing on 35's it has the stock 350 transmission in it now was thinking about swapping out for a 400 but have not read into the transmissions much yet, so im always open to advice
