Hello all, just purchased my first square body. 1985 Scottsdale with a 4.8 and 400 turbo transmission. I would like to dress the engine up. Maybe put a serpentine drive setup on it and change out the ugly intake. Any recommendations for either? Has a Truck Norris cam currently.

It's a BTR (Brian Tooley Racing) cam. Specifically geared towards pickups.

I believe it was originally from Alabama. I just bought it out of Indiana.
