Walter DeWayne...Walt for short - Page 12 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have actually been working on Walter some lately. I took the motor to a friends place and put it on the engine dyno. It made 524hp/558tq with the complete Sniper EFI setup. Horsepower was over 400 by 2500 rpm & the torque was over 500ft/lbs from 2100 rpm to redline. It’s should do just fine in an ole truck. 😬

Did you have the motor specs in the thread? If so I'll re-read. If not, I'd be interested in knowing.

It a weird build. I bought a $1500 ‘67 open road camper. When I showed up to buy it, it had been vandalized, but the box full of receipts included a $10k 468 motor build. It turned out to be super low mileage build that just sat. I pulled oil pan, intake, and valve covers. Forged crank, H-beam rods, forged pistons (part # depending on actual chamber size is 9.7 to 10.1’ish), Edelbrock RPM intake & cam, good oval port heads and so many other unexpected parts. I refitted bearings, oil pump, timing chain etc and added the Holley Sniper EFI. It’s a beast, for an ole truck 🤣

Beastly! Hard to beat a big block

**GSFMECH** · 08-14-2021, 11:00 PM

I love where this build is going, it's going to be sweet when you are done. Love those big blocks.

**nlped** · 09-27-2021, 08:11 PM

I’ve been draggin’ ass, but I’m on it now. It WILL be done before the new year. Body is off the frame again, but it won’t go back on until chassis is in powdercoat and the interior & firewall will be freshly painted.

SCOTI · 09-27-2021, 09:33 PM

Need a like button option.....

**Ol Blue K20** · 09-28-2021, 06:25 AM

I was wondering about Walt. It nice to see ya back on him.

**nlped** · 11-15-2021, 07:17 PM

Things have been progressing, just not very quickly or interestingly. But here are a few pics to prove I’m working on him. Got the front clip off and will get started deleting the stock heater box & fan holes and prepping it for paint. Also will be getting the interior metal prepped for paint too.

Also blew the PorterBuilt chassis apart for powdercoat… it’ll be black (original frame & oe brackets) and medium silver (Porterbuilt pieces). Then I’ll get it all reassembled, get the motor & transmission, gas tank air ride pieces in place and then I can build the driveshaft (2-piece) and get the exhaust run. Painless wiring, fit & finish the interior etc etc etc.

After putting it in words, it’s a long row to hoe. My mission is to have it finished by 2022. 🤷🏼*♂️

**Kronald_70GMC** · 11-15-2021, 09:31 PM

Awesome! I'm in to watch the progress!

SCOTI · 11-15-2021, 11:54 PM

Bunch of work right there. I like the sound of the plan

**Ol Blue K20** · 11-16-2021, 08:56 AM

That's a lot of work and a short time! You can do it, I believe in you....

**nlped** · 11-29-2021, 07:34 PM

I got the chassis/frame dropped off at the powdercoater today. He said it should be done this week #fingerscrossed.

**Ol Blue K20** · 11-29-2021, 08:03 PM

That's a fast turn around.

Especially since I’m going with 2 colors and there’s a total of 50 separate pieces that also have to be blasted.

**nlped** · 12-06-2021, 03:54 PM

WoW!!! Pieces are blasted, powdercoated & home. They look great in person. The silver is a metallic silver and really pops in sunlight. To bad it’ll never really show.

SCOTI · 12-06-2021, 04:57 PM

Nice. The contrasting color combo will pop.

**Kronald_70GMC** · 12-06-2021, 05:09 PM

**Ol Blue K20** · 01-24-2022, 10:29 AM

Walt's getting some love.

**68bowtie** · 01-25-2022, 01:32 AM

Looking good!

**nlped** · 01-29-2022, 09:41 PM

Made a little more headway. GEEZUS, the small stuff takes forever.

**Ol Blue K20** · 01-30-2022, 07:02 AM

I see you had a cold snack....

. Keep it up, it's looking good.
