Re: DLoE's Dropmembered 65 StepSiDe Build
Nice build!
This is the first DMed step side build I have read. It came out great! Couple questions: Did they give you any other dyno sheets? I was curious how much torque it made at lower rpms? I always thought straight 6's were known for that. I've owned and built a few Jeep straight 6's and they were pretty much done by 3200rpms, which is about where your dyno pull started. I am also assuming that is rear wheel horsepower? I worked at a high end engine shop with 3 engine dynos and a chassis dyno. Street cars rarely made the power numbers that they were expected to, particularly on the chassis dyno. You said it feels like it makes good power. Other than maybe some carb experimenting I would just be happy with it. You don't seem too worried about it actually If you needed to how much lower could the bed floor be? I told the old lady I brought one more car home because I really needed a truck for trips to Home Depot and the plant nursery ...I also have dirt bikes so a little more depth might be a good idea for me.
