Anybody running 20's? Have some ?'s....

Old women, and little children will be shaking when that thing busts off. Do you know what the dyno numbers were? Keith told me, but of course I forgot them....

NNNICE!!!!

Yeah, that ram jet intake adds some much needed height. Slap a vintage air serp set-up (or for cheapskates like me, GM's version) & call it the KISS pkg.

Not sure on those dyno #'s.... around 800 on motor & a little over 1K w/juice???? I can't remember.... I've slept since then.

74SWB-Driver + Ram jet 350= Sweeet ride. I say you should go for it.....

[N2TRUX]

Unless you want to be a "man's man" Then step on up to this for the 74....


The text reads-
The ZL1 makes serious power, with 520 horsepower on tap thanks to its 10.2 to 1 compression ratio and 640/598 lift solid roller cam. The Ram Jet ZL1 uses GMPP’s Ram Jet fuel injection originally introduced on the Ram Jet 502. This system offers great throttle response, torque and drivability. A forged crankshaft, rods and pistons fill the aluminum cylinder block. The aluminum cylinder heads have stainless steel valves and race quality springs actuated by roller rocker arms.

For only $21500.00.....

I've been considering the BB Ramjet for my 67 project. My reluctance is I want to keep the 'nostalgic' look under the hood (or something close to it anyway). I want to pop the hood & you see nothing but motor & big valve covers. All the accessories hidden down under, all wiring hidden or routed very analy, but fuel injected.

My requirements sorta rule out the cool long runner GM intake/throttle body arrangement. I'm still considering an Edlebrock Perf RPM top end pkg w/ProFlow FI for my 468 currently residing between the rails. That should give me FI performance w/the look of a carb. I'll try & get Roger & Keith to help figure a way to camaflouge the fuel rails & the throttle body is hidden under a nostalgic style air cleaner.

What do 'ya think?

Keep it simple means a carb. Just get it running do the f.i. thing later.

Ok, now which do you want. Retro, or smooth? If your going retro, make it look like an early 427 Corvette motor. I would even consider 3 TBI's on a tri-power intake with the Corvette triangle chrome air cleaner, and some chrome valve covers with a custom made 468 emblem that looks like the crossed flag 427 emblem. That would look very retro.

If you are going to start hiding things, and smoothing stuff out, the retro theme goes out the window. Now your more art deco instead. You could puul it off, but the rest of the truck would need some of the same effect to make it work....

MattA, I know, I know. KISS.... but I'm the first to admit if it's not in there before start-up, it prob won't go in @ all. Once it's drivable, I don't plan on tearin' into it for a long while.... @ least the same amount of time it's been apart.

I wan't the retro look, but not concours. Ken your headed in the right direction (if you only knew how close). It will be 'slick nostalgia' under the hood. Not engine painted body color smooth.... more along the lines of factory looking, but slicked.

[N2TRUX]

I are a good guesser aren't I?

[ol84]

Scoti and N2TRUX, are your trucks bagged?

[SCOTI]

N2TRUX is, mine isn't.... yet.
