Very cool ride.

keith

The headers on there now are custom made, the ones I had on it at first I made from a Stahl A arm kit.
Both are over the fram styles

These are the Stahl ones I made

And these are the ones I bought made for the truck
I'm using these now

kwhite4 · 06-28-2007, 10:26 PM

My junk still has the factory front end ( at least for now) .
Just finished the backhalf all Moser with a ladder bar set up and looking to put in a 567 profiler bbc and a better glide so gonna need a good sized header tube. I guess with a little patience I can probably build a set or modify an existing set.
I really like the over the frame look, be it helps keep the starter cool.

Thanks Guys

Keith

The hedders on my truck are hooker super competition for a malibu. I had to modify a couple of tubes but I have a fat man front end!

Lil-Joe · 06-30-2007, 10:52 PM

Nice Rig....Looks fast as He!! just sitting there!

Malibu 496 · 07-01-2007, 11:47 AM

Nice work guy's. I love drag trucks, seeing all this gives me the motivation to start on my blazer.

Keep the updates coming.

djracer · 07-01-2007, 02:49 PM

Jim what does your truck weigh? That frontend looks light. Do you still have trailing arms?

bigjimzlll · 07-01-2007, 03:12 PM

Kevin, It weighs 3200lb...and I don't know how to make any lighter...except a glass cab and doors.
The bedsides weigh about 35lbs each..the fenders weigh 20lbs each..hood weighs 35lbs. I put a lexan windsheid in...not much weight savings there.
The doors are real heavy...guess I'll get the plasma cutter out...lol

I have 36" long double adjustable ladder bars.
I ran 4 9.93's in a row on friday night. That was spinning bad in 1st gear...but atleast it spins consistantly...lol

djracer · 07-01-2007, 03:37 PM

Jim
Is that 3200 going down the track? I haven't weighed mine this year but I have some stuff to add to it anyway. I hope to be between 3000 and 3100 going down the track when its all together!

djracer · 07-01-2007, 03:37 PM

Jim is that 9.93 on the motor or the spray?

bigjimzlll · 07-01-2007, 03:39 PM

I don't have spray..I just sold all my N20 junk..cause I was tempted to use it...lol
No it's 3470 going down the track...

djracer · 07-01-2007, 03:48 PM

D@mn I thought mine was heavy last year at 3300 going down the track!

bigjimzlll · 07-01-2007, 05:28 PM

yea....I am going to attack the doors/windows in the coming weeks.
Whats up with yours? figure out the mystery clich?

djracer · 07-01-2007, 05:40 PM

Not yet I have not had much time to work on it but I am fixin to go add some grounds!

mike nutt · 07-01-2007, 05:55 PM

you got that junk runnin yet? i'm ready for another ride .

71Dragtruck · 07-01-2007, 07:37 PM

Well mine weighs about 4298 going down the track, think if i take the ashtray out that will help any?

djracer · 07-01-2007, 11:36 PM

D@mn 71 did you take anything off that pig?

71Dragtruck · 07-02-2007, 01:09 AM

As much as I'm prepared at this time I guess. It has all the stock steel and chrome trim, the roll bar didn't help thats for sure! Plus full exhaust power steering the ususal culprets. Oh well i get a good reaction from people when i tell them what it weighs and then what it runs.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 07-02-2007, 01:28 AM

well i guess weight isnt everything eh?

ssmith10pn · 07-25-2007, 08:33 AM

This thread is gettin stale. How about an update?

bigjimzlll · 07-25-2007, 08:57 AM

My junk has gone a best of 9.82 at 136 in 3800DA...just installed a plate stop and I'm going to try some Super Street.
Installing a dig 7 ignition,mechanical vacuum pump and a new Pro Systems dominator in the coming weeks.
Looking for an enclosed 26' trailer...on da cheap...

djracer · 07-25-2007, 07:53 PM

I am trying another camshaft as we speak!

Big Jim do you have a cargo mate plant anywhere near you? I might be able to get you a super sweet deal on a new one!

67Style · 07-25-2007, 09:46 PM

Awesome truck! I own the younger baby brother of what yours used to look like. Mine has come a long ways but the project is on hold for more important things. Anyway...it has a mild 383 and ran 12.6@108 with a few problems. I'll let the pics explain the rest.

djracer · 07-30-2007, 12:20 AM

Very Nice Truck 67 Style!

Well we got to run the truck today! After much tuning and so forth we have a new best 1/8 mile E.T. I went 5.81 @ 117.44! That was run with just a plate!

GREASEMONKEY72 · 07-30-2007, 02:21 AM

nice to see youve gotten faster

djracer · 07-31-2007, 09:41 AM
