It’s true. You’ve put a TON of work in to that engine and the car. It would suck to not have some kind of payoff at the end. Set deadlines. I work much better that way. When I had to have my truck done for a wedding it made me work harder on it. I also make lists on a board in my garage and checking stuff off beings a level of accomplishment that keeps you moving forward.
I heard they look the best (and weigh the least) when the front bumper and brackets stay on the floor of the garage.28 days and counting... to run 12's....
Removed the seat cover as it was turning to dust... got back at least 1 lbs of the drive shaft loop... lol
I also have had this idea on the front bumper. Going to try something that may (or may not) enhance the look.... hmmm... and will be a weight reduction. So, I removed the front bumper and brackets today. Small window of time opportunity, but I got something done
My vision is somewhat of that of a '71-72 Dart front bumper. Thin. I'm not sure if I can make it happen but I'm gonna try.
Interesting. I have all of that stuff here also. If yours looks good I may copy you. I know Kindig uses the thin 67-69 Camaro bumpers on c10s and they look incredible.
Absolutely. My front shocks have been worn out, probably since 1990 lol
as the stock RV 440 sits, it would probably slow the truck up vs the 5.9. lolThere's still time to get that 440 in.
I cut the bumper today. I haven't put it back on the truck yet, but I will tomorrow. I have to cut the brackets yet. I will say the bumper cut exactly like I had imagined in my mind, so it will be fun to see what it looks like on the truck. I'll show you all Saturday. ALSO, the bumper weighed 35.8 lbs without the brackets. It weighed 20.6 lbs after the cut. BEST place to lose weight is the very, very front. Oh, by the way, I cut that bumper in about 35 minutes, and that's ALL the spare time I had today. LOL
Fixed it for you.
You'd be surprised what a set of ported 915's, hemi grind, headers and 850 dp will do in a stock block low comp 440.
.... but as it sits.....You'd be surprised what a set of ported 915's, hemi grind, headers and 850 dp will do in a stock block low comp 440.
I guarantee it would walk away from a lowly 5.9.
Yea apples and oranges. A 5.9 with ported heads and a decent cam with an intake and an 850dp Will donkey stomp a lowly motorhome 440. But we’re not making fair comparisons.You'd be surprised what a set of ported 915's, hemi grind, headers and 850 dp will do in a stock block low comp 440.
I guarantee it would walk away from a lowly 5.9.
Yep
No, my ET streets are 28", so 29" will run with the 4.30 as well.
Yep what? lol
I have a BB 727 at a friend's, he's going to rebuild it. Nothing as in performance, just a fresh rebuild. I have the BB headers, and mounts all for putting the 440 in a truck. It's day will come.... most likely in this truck.
What TT5.9mag said lol.
