Re: How about some pics of High Performance haulers.
 

1st engine pic is a mostly stock 87 octane 500 cadillac, went 12.97 at 100. 2nd engine pic is current engine, although it has a 4781 holly and hei now, went 11.66 at 113.96 so far. Welded valve covers were req'd due to firewall clearance issues and shaft roller.

3rd engine pic is a twin turbo'd engine that I ran two years ago. Turbocharger were too small and it didn't run like I wanted, so it was sold.

Dave, love the looks of your truck!!

Re: How about some pics of High Performance haulers.
 

Have already posted in the '73-'87 section, but thought I would put them here also. Been running without a hood for a long time and finally had it cut and the injector plate and hat spaced 2" for better exposure. No track times, no dyno numbers, just my daily cruiser....

Re: How about some pics of High Performance haulers.
 

Thanks, Joe. Mine's a good 20 footer. Yours looks good. I pity those street radials.

Paul1969 sweet truck. Good luck getting her sorted out. My progress is slow but i'm gonna start pushing some of my help to get things rolling along.

Re: How about some pics of High Performance haulers.
 

Here is mine, had it out 3 times this fall. Best time so far was 1.72 60 foot ,12.72 @105 still tuning suspension and engine,hoping for 11.9x in the spring.

Re: How about some pics of High Performance haulers.
 

hey 67shortbox.... what size motor and power you got?

Re: How about some pics of High Performance haulers.
 

cool truck what's done to the motor?

Re: How about some pics of High Performance haulers.
 

.030 over 427 (431) cast crank ,forged TRW pistons,approx 10.7-1,241 Casting heads 113cc with 2.30/188 valves.Comp 282s solid ft cam .244/252@.050 590/598 lift,RPM intake ,750 df/dp holley,2 inch Hooker Comp headers 2455-3 black ceramic coated, 350 turbo trans,too small of convertor lol and a 12 bolt posi with 3.73s. Over winter I am changing the springs and shocks front and rear,adding an air bag on the pass side,convertor and hopefully going to a 9 inch F**d rear. Works pretty good now considering it isn't even broke in yet, but there is alot more left,just need to tune the suspension and engine. Brian

Re: How about some pics of High Performance haulers.
 

nice truck. I have a 431 also:metal:

Re: How about some pics of High Performance haulers.
 

what kinda power you makin shortbox?

Re: How about some pics of High Performance haulers.
 

Sorry I just saw the post ADD gets me sometimes any waya hoosier drag radials 325/50-15 on a 10" wheel i need to screw them to the wheel. But...

Re: How about some pics of High Performance haulers.
 

The engine is fresh,so once it is broken in I may put it on a chassis dyno just to see.I would estimate around 475 to the crank.It was built with parts I had accumulated over the years. I run Nostalgia drags and wanted to keep it some what period correct (427),next time may be a 496/540 with 427 decals lol,Brian

Re: How about some pics of High Performance haulers.
 

here is my bucket of bolts still down. putting the engine back together this week hope to have it in this weekend then comes rewiring the hole truck for 2kits etc....

Re: How about some pics of High Performance haulers.
 

That and some tuff guy bars running all over.

Re: How about some pics of High Performance haulers.
 

that is in the makes also. the chassis man wants everything in the truck so we can do all the suspension and rollcage at one time. i am just ready to ride out. this has been a long time coming and i have been looking/gathering parts for a little over a year now.here is the pics. of the new bbc 512 and th400 trans.

Re: How about some pics of High Performance haulers.
 

Sweet deal. Some one might have to get a competition license. :burnout:
I have the same intake in the sbc. Damn 2 systems. So what size of hits are you running?
