Great job. It's looking good. Nice color too.

**guyryan100** · 08-30-2005, 09:08 AM

I think mine's the exact same color. If so, excellent choice!

ChevyDude · 08-30-2005, 09:12 AM

Looking Nice!!!! Every step is a huge accomplishment and the results tell the tale!!! Congratulations!!!

**Yukon Jack** · 08-30-2005, 09:56 AM

What are the stats on the engine?

pat · 08-30-2005, 01:49 PM

Engine is a 383. 2 bolt main, bored 30 over, Scat cast crank, roller rockers, Eedelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads w/ matching intake, Holley 650 doublepumper, Keith Black pistons, Dynomax chevelle headers... 380 HP and 400 ft/lb torque.

The color is Aquablue Pearl Coat, the color on new Dodge trucks. Really changes a lot when going from sunlight to shade/darkness.

Pat....could I get some pics of how the headers fit?

I AM REALLY INTERESTED!! Part #? Cost?

Thanks guys.
I can get you some pics on the headers this weekend probly. They fit pretty tight. I ground a little off the motor mounts and welded them up a little. But then again my motor is in the V6 position I believe, and it fits pretty tight against the cab.

These are the same headers most ppl on here recommended to me.
What kinda clearance do you guys have b/w your valve covers and cab?

**hilljob26** · 08-30-2005, 08:19 PM

thats pretty cool,id like to see more of the outside as well if you have some

acloco · 08-30-2005, 09:30 PM

My engine is in the 6 cylinder position as well. Valve cover clearance is very good.

Do you have the part number of the headers? Any more pics? Especially how the ground clearance.

pat · 08-30-2005, 11:35 PM

Heres the rest that I have for now. Heading back home from school this weekend to take some more for those who wanted them.
Headers part number WLK 81006

71RestoRod · 08-31-2005, 12:07 AM

Very nice. Must say I like the color too!

pat · 09-05-2005, 07:41 PM

Heres a few more. Also got some insulation put in this weekend and all wiring is ready to put in.

Is this going to be a problem?

panhandler62 · 09-05-2005, 07:45 PM

I like the insulation.. I need to do that.. my truck sounds like a haywagon going hell for monkey at 75mph.. lol

RicksTrucks · 09-05-2005, 08:02 PM

where did you get the insulation? and what kind is it?

pat · 09-06-2005, 01:30 AM

Got the insulation here. http://www.b-quiet.com/index.html
This was Brown Bread, now called B-quiet Ultimate. I bought 100 sq ft so I have lots left over to double up on some areas.

Americanrider · 09-06-2005, 01:42 AM

I'll bet that motor cost more than my whole truck....LOL Nice work!
