Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
Well its got:
347ci LS1 Forged roatating assembley Ported factory heads 243/250 @ .050 cam Thise passes had an LS6 intake with a factory smoothed and ported TB Had a factory mechanical water pump Underdrive crank pulley Manual steering box Power brakes 4L80E trans 4,900rpm converter 3.73 30" x 14.50 ET Street (going through the traps in second gear with the converter locked aprox 7,100rpm) Being all steel, the truck weighed in a 3,840 with me in the seat and 1/2 tank of gas. The front suspension is stock minus the springs and shocks. According to Moroso, I was running a spring that would not work for the weight of my truck. But, according to the leverage ratio and my unsprung weight, I found it to be ummm, perfect :) Shocks were a Comp Engineering 3-way, but even on the 70/30 setting, there was still a little too much stored energy in the front. I have switched to a Rancho 9,000x. The rear again is stock other than an adjustable lower control arm braket I made that allows you to move the mounting location, I think there are 5 holes. Also a Classic performance lowering spring, blocks and again a Comp 3-way shock. Since that outing I have: Switched to a single plain with a dominator throttle body Removed the factory bench seat for a set of light weight buckets (50lbs) Build a new front crossmember that retains the factory control arms (25lbs, but the intake/N20 plate and TB made up the difference) Cutting off the 30-40lb tow hith I once welded on it Putting a factory weight tailgate on it (had an extrat junk gate so I added about 100lbs to it) Just received a 1 piece glass front end (75 lbs vs te 240 the factory stuff weighs) Put a 4.56 gear in it Put an electric water pump on it Pray every night it goes 11.40-11.50 NA in the 1/4 and low 10's on the jug... |
