Papas 71

[Shon]

Finally got the truck up and going and is now in DD status.
Started out with 1971 Chevy Pickup LWB that was my wife's G-fathers he bought new. We have owned it for probably 10yrs and it is reliable with 109k miles on it right now. When my camaro was down (alot) this truck was my DD. It had a 350/TH350 set up that worked. It could sit for months and fire right up but thought it was time to start hauling my own car to/from track so I began looking for a 6.0/4l80 set up and found this for $2k and its an LQ4 with 16k miles on the whole set up. Funny, while this was going on, I sold the Z28 and replaced it with a CTSV so now I guess the Caddy will just be a nice day driver....

Old 350 on the hook

motor in and DD mode




After some time with steel wool on the rims we now look like this


and the one wheel peel!!!


I have some engine covers going on soon plus a set of speakers and amp.

Brake booster will be added soon since the manual brakes are a bit anemic (sp) with the new power and the idiot drivers around here.

last fill up it got 16.5MPGs. I am still working on the tune so it might get a little bit more.
