A Nice Present from me.

Heres a 75 from another board I frequent

Pt96 Turbo on a 509 BB. Hes lookin to run 7's.












Wow. A nice blowthrough setup might be in my near future after the bags are taken care of. Id only shoot for a measily 500-600HP on a stock block

Sevens! That's insane.

So, he welded the bed to the cab among all the other mods.
But, pics make the truck look a bit bowed.(?) May just be the camera.
Regardless, that's sweet.

Should catch the eye of 87Shortwide.

BTW, how's your bag setup coming along?

The bags are kindof on hold. Im getting everything worked out just the way I want it. But I also need to be responsible and get on top of my finances before I go doing the back. Im gonna have the rear setup for best ride quality. Not lift/speed. So im gonna have to tweak my design a little bit. It should be awesome when im done. Body/Paintwork is coming soon too.

Looks like a damn nice ride...

The only thing I don't really know about is why the turbo is so high. I know it's a big bugger, but those engine bays are HUGE. Oh well, still hats off to a job well done! Mine won't be quite that wild for a LOOOONG time, if ever, but I love the way it looks.

Its a really good board for anybody wondering what goes on with a blowthrough setup. I am seriously thinking about it, but a LT1/LS1 might be more up my alley for a cruiser.

Sounds like a good move. Guess you're close to getting your triangular 4-link design completed. Design for Ride Quality. (I've been fooling with a parallel 4-link myself.) What color do you plan on bombing the truck.

No my lawnmower has a 17 horse brigs and strat. If anyone can figure out how to put a 700R4 on a 17 horse brigs and start I have one thing to say, you have way to much time on your hands.
