Re: Porterbuilt Dropmembers & 22's on my 77 Ebay truck
Truck will totally done next spring......just sold the motor out of it that came in the truck. Been looking at a couple of different options, bang for the buck is still the RamJet 350 just wish it was pushin a little more horse.... Also looking at Ls3 6.2 ERod, I can get a good price on this as well from my buddy at GM just not really keen on the looks of these motors....stay tuned

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmembers & 22's on my 77 Ebay truck
I agree the LS motors make killer horsepower....but I still think they are an ugly motor

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmembers & 22's on my 77 Ebay truck
Relocate the coil packs, put sheetmetal valve covers on it and an Edelbrock ProFlo XT, and it'll look like a normal motor.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmembers & 22's on my 77 Ebay truck
LSX Motors ugly?! Nonsense!
One of these: http://www.hogansracingmanifolds.com/index.aspx And this: http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...7fd3b880397d48 And you would have one badass CLEAN looking motor. |

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmembers & 22's on my 77 Ebay truck
the LSX 376/454 motors look pretty cool...just not keen on the plastic looking intakes on these motors

Thats why you replace it with a Hogans Aluminum intake they are works of art!

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmembers & 22's on my 77 Ebay truck
Well, good to see you are still working on this truck to be work of art! It seems everyone has an opinion on which motor should work best but I have to say that I don't think you can go wrong with either choice... I mean...it's an old truck so old school can't be wrong!?!? and on the other side, we are just starting to see 73-87 c-10 with these LS engines so you'd be one of the cool kid with the new toy!! But if I had to tell my idea, I'd say that a LSx 454 would do it for me!!!
