Re: 1971 c10 stepside

That should bring that 4 banger to life....LOL

Are you using standard rocker arms or a custom ratio to increase your lift?

That lobe separation is a few more degrees than I would have thought being a turbo motor. But what do I know.

Can't wait to hear it. One more piece down, thousands more to go.

Great work as usual.

4.8l with 1200hp stock other than twin turbos and top ring gap change??? Awesome!

Looks like I'll be looking for a 5.3 instead of a 6.0 and throw on a turbo for some streetable/reliable fun ;)

well last nite i finished the air tanks department , i like to solder, heat shrink and used painless powerbraid on all the wires i lay down so its really time consuming but i love the end results , i hope you guys like the way it came out too, my pistons are going to take 3 to 4 weeks to make as they are behind , supposedly , so i will now move on to other areas on the truck and put the engine build on hold for now

Love the PowerBraid from Painless Wiring.
I wrap all my airlines in it. (like I see you did)
Very clean install.

1000+ HP from that 'stock' 5.3L build you were doing !?? :haha: Page 8 - Post #184.

I kinda felt like you'd have to tweak a few minorthings while you had it apart. The 'twins' are going to be sick too.

Everything you touch turns to gold my brother. Amazing work. I'm jealous.

Going up this weekend to start it for the first time. I have the exhaust hung (may be too low, might have to go to mid length and tuck them a little more, we'll see) I'll post a video asap.

I don't think it will turn those 22's. .. I bet it won't. :D

Raul, such meticulous work. Seriously man, you could work for a high end Rod shop (Foose / Allen Callaway) any of those guys.

Have you ever considered opening up a place like that to do drops, fab work, etc. (?) I would imagine in that area you'd have a lot of business. Drops R Us meets Unique Whips kind of place.

Just throwing it out there.
