Thank you for the info.

I am in the process of installing the remote starter solenoid from Summit and while I got the headers loose would be a great time to install the heat shield.

and a little header rap will help to...I plan to do mine before I install it

jgreene0717 · 04-20-2010, 10:35 PM

Got a little more progress done on my junk. Should have it running this weekend if all goes well.

djracer · 04-20-2010, 11:59 PM

Lookin sweet. We gonna take it to the track soon and beat on it?

Camaro_nut2001 · 04-21-2010, 07:09 AM

Sweet!!! I have a 454 in my '69 and I love it. I am wanting a set of headers and found a set of Summit brand but I don't know how well they will fit. I used a set of Flowtech headers on my lil hot rod '85 S10 and they worked out great, very easy install. Your project looks great!!!

djracer · 04-25-2010, 10:24 PM

My cell phone wasn't diggin the open headers but it sounded sweet to me.

drag_72 · 04-26-2010, 12:41 AM

dang those headers are sweet

djracer · 04-26-2010, 07:50 PM

What do you guys think will die first the 12 bolt or the turbo 350?

69trk · 04-26-2010, 09:02 PM

i say the turbo 350, unless he has some good hookin meats

djracer · 04-26-2010, 09:34 PM

325 50 15 mickey drag radials.

rjs53 · 04-26-2010, 09:35 PM

th350, unless he's got some good parts in it the torque from that monster will rip the guts out of it

drag_72 · 04-27-2010, 12:22 AM

is the 350 th built?

djracer · 04-27-2010, 07:14 AM

Its just stock with a shift kit.

ripdog28 · 04-27-2010, 02:26 PM

DJ, im counting on my TH350 going out. My rear end is solid just stock 350 with a kit in it. LOL just waiting.

drag_72 · 04-28-2010, 10:00 AM

i know im only 19 blah blah blah... but im a firm believer in the 350... i have my dads old 350 in my tubbed truck and its been together for like 9 years? and that bein pushed by a 800 horse motor. and now its in my truck. but we had the drums turnt down so we could fit like 5 clutches in the front and 6 clutches in the back i beleive? dont quote me on that cause im not 100% sure but just sayin lol

jgreene0717 · 04-28-2010, 04:18 PM

Well I have faith in the old TH-350 but we will all see before to long.

ripdog28 · 04-28-2010, 07:55 PM

I love TH350's, less drag on the engine. Im doing ok with mine but just a few test runs on it. Im counting on replacing it with in a year because i have a mental imbalance, my right foot does the opposite of what i want it to do.

jgreene0717 · 05-09-2010, 09:54 PM

Well I finished it up this weekend other than putting the hood on and installing the electric fan. Got the exhaust installed on Saturday and it sounds sweet. Should be taking it to the track in the next few weeks and if anyone cares to guess what they think it will run feel free to do so. I also have to thank DJRACER, and MRCHEVY4x4 for all of there help on the build.

will scratch · 05-09-2010, 11:43 PM

Super nice truck, I was watching the videos and looks like the motor isn't moving around at all even when your giving it throttle. Must have had a nice balance job.
I'll say 11.50's

drag_72 · 05-10-2010, 12:08 AM

im excited for this lol you pretty much have the same motor as i do! and i hope mine runs 11's on motor. but anyways ive been watchin this and i like the ride! good luck

djracer · 05-10-2010, 12:11 AM

It sounds Awesome I can't wait to go for a ride.

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 05-18-2010, 08:04 AM

I got to ride in it this past weekend, and it's NASTY! It pulls like MAD in 3rd gear, and that's with only 3/4 throttle. Turns out the throttle linkage needs a little adjustment to get WOT. Can't wait to see it go down the track!

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 06-01-2010, 10:31 AM

Let's go Jason! Get it back together so we can burn the tires off of it!

I'm jonesing for another ride in the rocket ship!
