Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
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
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.

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??? |

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.
