Woah, damn that’s awesome. What is it going into?

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

That should make his truck scoot!

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

No Replacement for Displacement!! Bad Boy right there.

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

I researched those for my Malibu. They're not too far (road trip distance) but never could decide. Please post up (or PM) your experience/opinion once you move forward.

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

Beautiful!!

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

Wow. That'll be fun!

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

Going in his GMC. The one he just cut down to a Short Bed

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

Nice, that should be great. I’m curious about how the motor is going to perform. In the near future I’ll be in the market for a new motor for my chevelle. Please keep us informed.

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

Very nice.:metal:

I am not a Podiatrist by no means.
I can see foot issues in your son's near future. ;)

What's the dyno graph look like?

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

What's the plan to get the power to the ground? Replacing tires is going to get expensive.

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

My guess is somewhere in this neighborhood depending on the cam choice.....

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

I’ll post it as soon as it gets here.

He was Ca State Champion in B Modified Dirt cars in 2019. His foot is already permanently infected

:haha::haha::haha:

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

Simply put, WOW!

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

If you don’t mind me asking, where did your son get the bed cut down? A shop or did you guys do it yourself?

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

I wish I could take credit for it. A guy in Stockton did it in one day, drove it up one day and picked it up the next $4000 Start to Finish. Superior workmanship

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

that will be hauling A$$ if don't mind me asking who's wheels are those?

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

lol he probably learned that shortening technique on the bed here on the board. There was a guy here closer to 10 years ago that did his that way, that thread blew everyone’s mind at the time. That was the first time any of here had seen it. It does make a lot nicer finished product with way less feet of weld.

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

Wheels are US Mag Rambler, same wheels I have on my truck. His centers are black , mine are gray

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

Crazy! :eek:

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

Beautiful truck.

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way
 

That'll get him through those pesky school zones....

Re: My Sons New Engine is on its way

Have you received it yet? I have its younger brother, the 406. Mine is going in my 69 Camaro. I do not have it installed yet. I have been very pleased with responsiveness of Smeding. So far, they have been great.
