We have the Street Demon ( new style by Holley) combo carb/ looks like a Edelbrock / quadrajet deal.. 625 cfm.. We will check the timing ....


Also posted this up on Engine /driveline forum.. thanks..


4 th gear it pulls great... runs best in 4th gear.. maybe just yang it out Blueprint 383 stroker 420 hp is what I need...

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

sounds like it may not have enough gear and a little too much cam for the 327, a 383 or 400 with a little less cam or more gear might help, something with lower end torque. Just my opinion.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Yes... looks like a cam and gear swap..

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

That camshaft with the little cubes makes it for higher RPM then advertised. Smaller cam, and more gear with that size rear tire. @ 1800RPM in 6th gear you doing 82mph that is not enough RPM for that motor. 4th gear 2500RPM you are doing 57MPH. You need to switch your rear gear to 4.88 min. or change the tire height.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Hope you get everything sorted out. After the way my summer has started I really NEED to see your truck in Columbus. ;)

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

thanks Guys... picking up a alum. headed 383 stroker 430hp..457 torque.. that should fix the problem... ;);)

heading to Speedway Motors in the early am..

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

If 457 torque won't scoot, I don't know what will. I guess you could always just drop in an LS9. :lol:

I hope the install goes well.... Roger Burman is painting the short block tonite.. Great crew down there..thank you Lakeside Rods and Rides.. I will have Tiffany post up some pics.soon...;)

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

That 383 oughta be sweet!

Are you still running the eBay mustang mufflers? If so, are you happy with them? I'm going to be taking mine to the exhaust shop next week.. finally!

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Alvin, Yes still running the mustang mufflers...

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Well, We ran into a little problem.. 327 flywheel not campatable to 383 stroker... gotta order a complete flywheel / clutch combo early Monday AM.. any suggestions who I should call ? Bowler ? I got a 1997 T-56 tranny

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Is your 383 running a 400 type externally balanced crank? Mine had an aftermarket stroker crank and was internally balanced so a regular small block flywheel fit. Why wont the 327 wheel work specifically?

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

If I remember correctly my 383 needed a 400 balancer and flexplate.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

it has a big balancer on it now.. got Twin Cities Rod and Custom calling Blueprint Engines and Speedway Motors..

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

it probably was built using a later model year block with a one piece rear seal which in turn would have a different flywheel flange than the older small block.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

yes sir thats whats going on.. but were upgrading the whole clutch set up..

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

looks like we have a problem.. pan is hitting the rack? why ? blueprint 383 installed .. 327 was in there?

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Was one pan or the other an aftermarket reproduction pan? I'm guessing the one on your 383 is? Can you tell how much off it is? You should probably shoot for an 1/8" clearance to be safe

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

looks like 1.5 inches off...

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Good lord, you better call and see what the heck they are using for a pan! I have seen deep sump pans but usually the front portion is not that much lower. Pictures?

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

I actually had Nate make me some engine mounts to LOWER the motor in my dropmember. It is the touring version not the extreme.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

this is no good. ideas ?

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Your motor appears to be moved forward compared to mine quite a bit too. Have you called Nate?

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

new fabrications. cooler in back, gauge display under dash...
thanks to Marshall Starrett "the WIZ"

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

more fab work by Marshall Starrett - THE WIZ

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

We text back and forth a few times last night. My recommendation was to go to a shallow pan like the 327 had.


Nate

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Did u use regular rivets to hold all this cool fab work together? Are those tweeter speakers in the door panels? Can u show a close up of those and how you did it?

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

The rivets area race car deal... Allstar Performance exploding rivets no backer needed


Also talked to Blueprint Engines. just have to change out the pan from the 327.. ???;);)

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Just got home from Good-Guys Heartland Nationals.. got to see a few forum buddys.. It was good to get Low-Lark out for a cruise..

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Are you going to have the truck at Columbus Good-Guys this weekend?

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Hmmmmmmm

That under dash decking/plate looks smooth....
I wonder .....

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Ditto. Dieing to see this truck in person. Maybe even snap some pics of mine next to it. :metal:

Hey creep, where do you park? I missed seeing your truck last year and wanna make sure I get to check it out.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

It changes every year. Usually where ever I can find a spot. Last year I was able to squeeze in by grumpy over near the pavilions on Friday and in the judged section on Saturday. I'll post on here where I find a spot to cram it.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

I got a spot at the far end of the show on the path around the pavilions.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

I was thinking that your 383 is built with the later model one piece rear main seal block. I assume that is the main reason the 327 flywheel wouldn't bolt up. If that is the case, then the 327 oil pan will not fit the later model block with the one piece rear main seal. You will also need to be sure a different pan will have enough clearance for the 3.75" stroke.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Today I'm in the homebuilt haulers section of the special feature area. Wanted to park close to the spectator parking so my friends don't have to walk 20 miles back to the cars after the show.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

I agree with Captain Fab, I'm not sure that's going to work. Maybe a stock pan from a Camaro would work?

Good Afternoon
This is Tiffany, Kart's daughter.

He asked to post an update. Unfortunately, today the update is not about the C-10.
Greg, you may know him as kart34, was admitted to the hospital last Monday evening after going in with a severe headache, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes.
After blood tests it was confirmed that he has Leukemia. He will be admitted for 4 weeks.

Greg has been receiving 24 hour chemotherapy treatments and is responding very well. His last treatment will be on Wednesday. He is a good patient and let me tell you the staff really loves him there. Greg has been feeling well on the chemo with little to NO side effects. He is also receiving blood transfusions to keep his counts up.

He is at Gundersen Lutheran Hospital in La Crosse WI.
