    Brainstormin' 440 vs 5.9 ...

    For clarity. I will NOT use NOS. Now that that's out of the way..... the question: Will a bottom dollar 440 out run the 5.9 in our '80 D150. In other words, can I do a max of 500 bucks into the 440 and out run the 5.9 numbers. 440 is an RV engine. I have 2 intakes, a single plane torker or...

    Off season now .... Drawing board time

    The "Less Slow is the Goal" was a success. The Duster, Van, and Truck all went quicker this year with little change. Fun for sure. But now.... we'll have a long winter here to muster up a thought... lol We will now just enjoy taking a Van or Short bed truck to a Hamburger/Fries or food of some...

    30-day countdown to 12's

    My thought is if I do a countdown, it will help me find the moments needed to make some changes and get this to the track. Really, I'm using this thread as self-motivation, holding myself accountable. I'm determined to get a pass before track closes, and I'm determined to make it a 12 second...

    After 3 yrs.... Drag Truck...

    We got this out the other day, pressure washed it, changed oil, took it for a ride. Now, we will pursue dropping the ET. I couldn't make up my mind if I was going to drop the 440 in as the next step and go from there or work a little more with the 200,000 mile 5.9. So, I let the viewers on...

    We're having a blast with no experience

    Hobby Land. 20 years ago, I'd not thought of this for anything else but maybe hunting land. Never thought it could be such a blast. We are having a wonderful time, even when we aren't there, just discussing the options. This will be our "off grid mostly" landing spot as time permits. Like...

    318 intakes - old style?

    Thinking on doing a 318 over the winter for the truck. Will be a LA roller block, and I don't care about WOT. I have not tested anything with the early year (like the '69) single plane vs the later year intake. Thinking best torque/power up to about 3000 rpms. At this point, I know pretty...

    Fan hurting or helping ???

    @273 @AJ/FormS Mechanical Fan. It cost "XX" amount of HP to turn @ "XXXX" RPM. However, at what RPM does the fan start to work like a propeller on an airplane and begin pulling the vehicle forward thus helping the vehicle go in a forward motion and offsetting the HP taken to turn the fan...

    My honest experience... converters

    This FTI converter is the absolute best converter I've ever purchased. Better than the PTC I bought. And the Hughes, TCI, and whatever else including GER. Comparing the 9.5" PTC to the 9.5" FTI, just on the bench the build of the FTI was cleaner/better. Also, the FTI drives better on the...

    Jadaharabi AKA Randall

    Many of you have PM'd me asking about Randall. It is with regrets that I tell you that Randall AKA Jadaharabi has passed Thursday. I have met Randall several times, including swap meets, drag strip, and at my house where he and his wife spent the night with us. And hours of phone calls... lol...

    I love forestry/park ranger trucks - color.

    2 wheel drives especially. Usually stripped-down models, very low options. If they have old lettering on the sides, that aids to the appearance in my opinion. Visiting Grandma in the Black hills, I used to see these D100's and Ramchargers. Plain Janes and this green. Never owned on...

    Wish it were like it was....

    Sick week cars plastered our area, most going right by my house. I have this to say: Very cool and very fast cars. I know. We as humans only know what fast is by comparing amongst ourselves. But back in the day, the cars were counted as just as fast, because we still compared ourselves...

    Outdoor Boys ??

    Ok, I'm obviously a car guy, and my channel is a car channel. But, when my wife and I watch channels... it's seldom cars. "Outdoor boys" is one of the channels we watch. We have others for sure.... But anyone else tune it to this channel ??

    Would you be interested?

    I've been thinking for quite a while now (long before all these 318 threads have popped up...lol) about doing a project I haven't seen yet. That would be assembling a LA 318 with all LA 318 parts, but any part from a LA 318 from '67-91. NO PARTS CAN BE MODIFIED for performance gain. If it...

    RV vs D150 VB

    Does an RV (lets say a 1977 440 motorhome) have a firmer shifting valve body than what a normal 727 would have? I know other certain features are beefier, curious on the VB. Thanks in advance!
