Got some stuff roll'n, but more to do. Got some slicks & rims, going to replace the chinese intake with eddy, so it should be an all American motor. Need to get the drive shaft loop on. Few other things I need to gather
I know, right? Been like 3 years already!!
200,000 mile (almost) 5.9 from Craigslist, Hughes valve springs and small Oregan regrind. Free 727 with a Hughes converter, 4.30 gear. Never pulled the pan off the engine.
Great results for what's done
To be honest, i haven't had much time to work with it. Got it to run decent out of town then got to make a pass at the track. I'm sure the gas is all tarnished now....Great results for what's done
Honestly, been too long since I ran it so I don't remember. But I know it was up by my shift point somewhere... wasn't much left. I don't even remember where I shifted it at, I think 5400 or 5500 but I could be wrong.. lol
it has 750 dp on it now. It's on a 1/4" spacer but I didn't have a chance to experience and test.
What upgrade items are you trying out first?
bunch of little stuff, it will all be installed before I go to the track. Going to slicks so I can launch harder, Eddy intake (this has bigger runners and made in America!), new header gaskets (leak at the driver's head), Probably upgrade to 3/8 fuel line, Tranny shifts on the slow side, so I'd like a shift kit. I pulled this tranny from a truck going to the junk yard, did nothing at all but throw it in drag truck. LOL I would like to put extensions before the mufflers, right now it's got the muffler bolted to the collector. And who knows what else... Just a bunch of stuff that I did to get it going but never returned to the project... LOL
You'd probably get those numbers just from switching to a weld drag lite or lightweight wheels
It now has factory white steel rims with poverty caps. Trying to keep the farm truck look (Grandpa's truck ... lol). However, the slicks will be mounted on aluminum slots
