Re: hotrod-c10
 

Did you dyno the motor? This thing looks like it's going to pack the mail bro! Very cool.

Re: hotrod-c10
 

Clean! :metal: Consider posting the specs to the engine, etc...?

:burnout:

Re: hotrod-c10
 

Thanks Johnny, garage avail. soon - then things should begin to move more quickly. We've been going over funds and possibilities with my engine build. We're either going with a 355 or 383 depending on the overall costs and whether or not (hecho de mexico 350 goodwrench crate engine) it's 4 or 2 bolt. If 4 (most are I think), I'm seriously considering the 383 (the engine I would have built when I was a kid - in high school).

Re: hotrod-c10
 

what headers are those? how low do they hang?

Re: hotrod-c10
 

Very nice! subscribed to this one. I lived in Crowley back in the early 80s.
Keep up the good work.:metal:

Re: hotrod-c10
 

hey dbmx66 the headers are hooker super-comps . and i have 4 3/4 inch ground clearence now . i don't know what it'll be once the cab and everthing else is back on . iv'e got 2 1/2 drop spindles and 3" drop springs. if i had to do it over i would proably get differnt ones. the coating seems thin and they cost to much but it is what it is for now . here's pic on ground clearence..johnny

Re: hotrod-c10
 

hey XxCHEVYMANxX thanks , iv'e been watching your build too! looking good .and the motor is looking sweet . motor guy looks a little crazy. i moved to crowley in 77 . we may have crossed paths...johnny

Re: hotrod-c10
 

Thanks for checking out my build. Engine builder is a little crazy. Really he is.:lol:
I see your a small block fan. Me too. I have a 327 in my chevelle also, but it's got double hump heads on it. Oh and maybe we have crossed paths. Keep up the good work. :chevy:

Re: hotrod-c10
 

Just wanted to know how far you planned on moving the motor back? I really want to move some weight back, I kind of have the same type of build going, but no street tires on the back. How many gallons of fuel will that tank hold,and who built it? Thanks keep on rocking ,LOL your further along than I am.
