scaled at 2k front axles 1760 rear axles w/o driver. We'll see if I need to add any ballast like I did on the truck for traction. It has caltracs & 295/50's. It weighs 120 pounds more than the old truck, but the old truck had a lot of ballast added. This truck will put down more power than the old one. Last edited by code4; 02-25-2012 at 01:18 PM. |

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
I have a bored and stroked 454 which is now a 489. I use a Mighty Demon 850 cfm carb on a Edelbrock Victor Jr. Manifold. I have Brodix BB2+ aluminum rectangular port heads. A Crane solid roller street cam and SRP 10:1 pistons. The crank is a Cola 4 1/4" stroke connected to Childs&Albert rods. The rings are Childs&Albert gapless. JGM motorsports in Valencia did the machine work and I put it together. Total bill? Let's say enough to buy a new small Import car. Thats just the engine. Then there's the Mikes 400 trans and the Continental 3000 stall converter plus the Currie 9" rear with all the goodies yada yada. Hp 632@6000 torque 550@3000. With 4.56 gears and a 31" tall tires there's your 8mpg. It's no freeway flier, but it is fun to say see ya to all those new Mustangs and Dodges,Corvettes,Camaros,etc at the stop lights.

I'm amazed you even get 8MPG ![]() Currently I've got a 454 with a weiand 174 supercharger in my 56, the previous owner put it together so I don't have all the details. It's only running a few pounds of boost so it's pretty mild, but the amount of gas this thing uses is insane. It also runs incredibly rich no matter how I tune it. I smell like gas for 3 days every time I take the truck out. (I love that smell, but my lady doesn't of course.) Getting ready to swap in a brand new LS3 crate motor and 4L65E transmission, it's all my little brain can think about at the moment. I want something I can get in a drive across the country if I wanted to, pro touring style. It aint happening with my current motor + trans. |

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Host your pictures on a site like photobucket. You will be given an image code for each picture you upload and all you have to do is copy and paste that code into your forum post.

This is my 1955 Chevy 3600 2nd Series with a homemade wrecker on it. It has a Ernest Holmes hand crank winch on it too.

PJF
What type of fuel system do you currently use? Your new plan sounds great especially for a long haul vehicle. The overdrive trans will go a long way toward good mileage and be easy on your engine. Thanks for the compliment. |

This is my 53 GMC, although I really need to get some newer pictures of this one. These are pretty old.

Had Some Nice Weather Today...
So I rolled the '49 out of the bunker (garage), gave it a bath and put a coat of wax on. Was a good opportunity to snap some pics.
1949, 3100 - 75 Firebird front clip, 350/350 (you guess it - 350 hp), 10 bolt rear. Original cab, front fenders and hood (not pictured) - fiberglass boards, pro's pick bed kit, dodge dakota seats. Looking forward to finishing it up this summer! Proof it runs ![]() http://s1180.photobucket.com/albums/...t=IMG_0446.mp4 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
