trying not to notice the carb spacer,what looks to be a double pumper and the Single plain intake then maybe just maybe you would think it was a stock small block with a Pretty Carb!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Sharp eyes.

I'm changing to stock valve covers and a Q-Jet.The single plane has
to stay.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Its a 548 with 13.5 to 1 compression, Aluminum rods and bb3 extra Brodix Heads. Still trying to figure out what to run for nitrous!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

id say 500 or so :devil:
BTW what kind of block is that

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Its a bowtie short deck block.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

wouldnt you want a taller deck block with such a big stroke

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

its only a 4 1/4 stroke its a 4.530 bore.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

oh im thinking of it like a small block
you had a 468 in it before didnt you

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Yep

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

what kind of internal did you use
must have been some nice forgings to hold up for 12 years of abuse
and NITROUS!!!
:devil:

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

the 468 had lunati pro mod rods wiseco domes and a gm steel crank

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

wow steel crank
i figured you had a forged crank

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

DJ have you bought any lunati junk lately? Hell comp is buying out everybody,I just finished doing a building for Joe and he don't give a $$$$.I just bought my cam from Huggins which used to be cam dynamics back in the day.sammy swindell,steve kinsor and others called while I was there and he flat told them if you want to run comps stickers run their cams and it made me fall down laughing,Bullet cams is in lunati/taylor piston building and they are the same folks with lunati,they are all right here in my back door,BTE,Memphis performance,Comp,Bullet,Lunati,TCI,Eagle,Clevite,Mahle,Bill Taylor and Joe Lunati owned L&T pistons Which is BTE and Lunati and used to be TCI who is comp,I do want to know who is going to take over and run crane?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I haven't bought any of their stuff since I built the 468. I don't like Comp at all. They picked out a huge cam for my 468 that wouldn't even hardly do a burnout without the bottle. I'm beginning to think they are all crooked. My Jesel shaft rockers that were bought new to go with my heads have the wrong stands so my geometry is way off on the intake side.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

got my crank back yesterday I'm about ready to start putting it together.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

WoW... it's been a LONG time since I got a "hit" from this thread.... my best wishes to you for a "successful build". It's been a long time coming.... I know your "right foot" must be "itching" to kick that "pedal to the metal" again. :metal:

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I have been beating on my buddy's rides to help with the DT'S!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

DT's?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I really "love" any & ALL of the work involved with the hot rod projects I have had over the years.... by FAR the toughest part is dealing with the "TIME" it takes to accomplish things.

In addition to the "normal" time it takes to get things done there are so many things that are always there to "do" that just prolong.

It's not as easy as all of the TV car/hot rod shows make it seem.... by the time the commerical is over "we'll have it done"!!!! What a joke.... it's gonna take time.... usually MUCH MORE time than we plan/anticipate.... definitely more time than a commerical or two!!!! LoL!!! :lol:

Am I ever going to get that El Camino done so I can get back to the C10???

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

withdrawals

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

oh
well hurry up and lets see some 8 sec passes

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

So its taken 2 1/2 hours to read threw this thread but it was so worth it!! Your a great inspiration thanks for showing us all how its done right!! Cant wait to read more!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

totally agree, sick truck, sick build. Using this as inspiration for getting my truck done!!!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

YES!!! I can remember when I first started hangin' out on this forum & found myself at home on this part with all the "drag racers & hi-performance" guys/gals.

I have followed DJ's story since he bought his C10..... thru his awesome showing on "Pass Time" and now the anxious anticipation (we all have) as we wait for the day we see his C10 back on the 1/4 mile.

When I come here I know I can find GREAT advice & words of encouragment from him & the rest of the gang that frequent this forum.

So when are we going to see a "time slip and/or video???

Good Luck DJ!!!!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I have everything for the new motor except lifters and push rods. My push rods may work. I sent my intake off to be plumbed and flowed. I plan to spray it pretty hard so I sent it to the local guru for this work. I just got my coated main and rod bearings this week so I'm finally ready to start putting the motor together. I had some upgrades done to my glide but need a new converter for the new bullet. I want to paint the truck and upgrade so many other things I'm at a loss as to stick it together or totally make it like I want it. I also found another truck I want to buy for my son who's 12th birthday is today. I could stick it together and play until mine is painted but who knows.
