Video clip of 6.0 fun in the snow

[DirtyLarry]

We have to move this video back to the top for a while longer as it is the coolest video I have seen on this forum yet. This is just an awesome display of souped up late powertrain at its best mounted in a perfect old iron wraper. I am not sure if most people realize how much work it takes to mount a late model LS1 block into an older chassis, run a high pressure fuel system, let alone work out the calibrations to run a supercharger.

Here is my pathetic video of a carbureted 454HO running balls out while chocked back at about 10,000 ft elevation in the high country of Colorado. Once the naturally aspirated carbureted 454 gets wound up it does alright. This video was taking last year while playing in the snow before I added the SnugTop topper and a ton of other camping and fishing crap in the back. The truck was actually light back then…now I am scared to head out into the really deep snow for fear of a Titanic K10 snow version reenactment.

You can tell the 454 doesn’t sound half as athletic as the supercharged 6.0 in Billjo’s Blazer. That is a true testament of late model engine technology and forced air right ‘der!

I have a marine sequential EFI manifold to screw on to my 454 yet and plan to run a RamJet 502 MEFI 3 wiring harness and controller custom programmed to my 454 specs running on an Aeromotive fuel system but I bet it still will have a hard time matching the HP of a supercharged 6.0L by a long shot. The old statement of no replacement for displacement isn’t necessarily true anymore.

Post more videos Billy! That thing is sweet.

Hey BillyJo were you able to use the 05 truck manifolds in your k5? I see your running headers now but in a old post i read you said that you were using the truck manifolds.
thanks

My original plan was to use the stock exhause manifolds but I would have had to notch my frame some to get them to work. Then after notching the frame it looked like I would have had a hard time getting the nuts on the bolts to attatch the exhaust pipe to the flange. The final thing that kept me from using them was that I decided to run my fuel lines on the drivers side in the frame rail and I didn't want them that close to the exhaust manifold.

Hope this helps,

Bill

Hey Billyjo, If you ever make it over to the eastside of Wa. I'll gladly take you out to our off-road park for some fun. For that matter, if anyone from this forum is visiting Spokane with thier 4x4, contact me and I will gladly play ambassador and show you around town!

Thanks for the invit, I may take you up on that. My parents live in MT now so I'll be passing through Spokane a couple times a year.

Thanks,
