Howdy! from Norway
Hi!
Normally i build LandCruisers, but you can only live without a V8 in the family for so long.. (10 years now). SO! Here my new truck- 1972 Shortbed Chevy. Stuffed with a 350 V8, 700 case, edelbrock manifold and carb, haeders and a 12 bolt rearend. It also have some fancy rollerarms and a tweaked cam, but i dont know anything about it, cause the seller didnt know anything about it either. (Its just imported from Texas to Norway) I can build landcruisers when drunk and blindfolded , but im kind of new to these American cars, so a couple of stupid questions might appear on your board from now on The truck is fre from rust, but it seems like i just have to tighten everything, and redo the wiring, it works but it looks like crap. Even the rearend is loose and goes clunk clunk everytime i thift gears. Please excuse my english, im Norwegian.. Here we go! OH! And the turbine behind. Its a RB 211 (Rolls Royce) (99% sure) it makes about 70,000 pounds of thrust and is often usen on 747. The guy has two of them- they are both 100% functional. I would mount it in my truck, it dont think my carb is up for the job |
