D150 with a RV 440, just to see what it will run

[318willrun]

I’ll take the 5.9 magnum all day long and twice on Sunday.

In the heavy, much heavier van .... with much less converter.... ok !

question: Would you expect an RV440 in a D150 with somewhat of a "stall" (2800 ?) and headers to beat a stock 5.9 magnum (4bbl/headers) in a full size '89 van with bed, table, and chairs, and a towing torque converter??? I promise you the van is WAY heavier.



The van will run 15.4's-15.5's in the 1/4, and 9.9's in the 1/8.

Maybe this will be the first test. Race it against the van ..... (I did put the eddy carb on the van since it's went down the track). Not sure if that changed any of the performance.

The converter isn’t going to do anything for a stock rv440 except move it right through the area where it makes the most torque. It will be faster with a stock converter. Hopefully your converter doesn’t flash right up to the point the valve springs loose control.

Just gave up 2 tenths right there.

Probably. I did it because I didn't want the new 650 brawler DP on the van. I put a 650 AVS 2 on it. On my Duster, they ran the same. So I don't know. I generally don't think of my van as racing, though I've raced it LOL

Makes me wonder what a motorhome 440 could do in N/A form on a load of 35% with a bare minimum of support hardware from the vintage fueler classifieds.

If I lived where you do I’d be building engines in my living room with the heater on. I don’t know how you guys do it. I lived in Colorado for a year and the winter killed it for me. Today, here in SoCal currently it’s sunny and 65 deg. High is supposed to be 81.

You suck. 19 here for a high today. Being "318 will run" talks about Cordova drag strip I'm guessing he's not terribly far away from me.

yeah, it's cold today, but not so much for January. I like our seasons. Except for the rains. The rains halt everything. LOL

To me, the rains signal the beginning of a new season- the salt gets washed off the roads and it's safe for the cars to emerge from hibernation.
Just got another 2-3" of the white crap overnight with more on the way. Low teens today and tomorrow, but a high of around 0* Monday... Where's global warming when you need it?

 

[318willrun]

12* here now, feels like zero. We'll still be ready by opening day

 

[TT5.9mag]

I like our seasons

We love seasons in California. That’s why we live in a state that skips all the shitty ones.

 

[318willrun]

We love seasons in California.

I guess I just like the United States to much to leave it (careful, we'll get this shipped to News/Politics)

 

[318willrun]

Still waiting for my package that has my new truck headers and tach
