Re: More pics of 72' gmc big trucks

Those 6V-53's are only 318cu in. They are small enough to fit in a pickup truck, and they are rated at 275HP and torque is 700 ft lb stock. 350HP and 1000Ft lbs are (safely) acheivable with tweaking the governor and turning up the IP. I wish I could get my hands on one reasonably. I'd love to have in my '67 C-30.

Here are a few pickups with 6V53's.

This one went 11.73 @ 115 MPH in the quarter in a '70 Ferd.



Here's another in a '79 Ferd plowing snow!




Here's one in '67 GMC pickup. I sure wish he'd join the board!
