Just looking over your build, well thought out, very nice overall. Can you tell us more on the big block, i am running a 454/525hp manual trans in my 71 4x4 and the whole truck is interesting but haven't heard much on the powertrain, guess it is still coming up, exciting watching a good build.

Hi mud man , i am building a 396,with a mild cam ,rubbed up oval port heads . steel crank 40 thou over ,rpm airgap manifold, 750 hp carb . should make about 450 hp i will post pix when i start building the motor .

[mud.man.rj]

Sounds like a nice well put together engine, always liked the sound of saying I had a 396, had one in my 66 Malibu, 4 spd, very fun car. Less common to have a 396 over a 454, I choose the 454 for overall torque, went with 781 heads I ported, fun motor with lots of grunt with a 373 ratio and 35" tires it doesn't even have to try and actually gets good mileage, well when I can stay out of it. Mileage only matters to the wife, haha. Like the Ute, don't see those over here and of course the rhd on both. See a few rhdrivers here in 300ZX's and a few other odd things, always lookin for the driver when you see them coming.

Thanks mud man , yea the ute has a 468 that made 715 hp on pump , the tuck is just a cruiser with ac p/steer p/windows but it should still hall ass.

[mud.man.rj]

Wow mine is only 525 on gas, yours should kick @ss pretty good, but have to stop to fill up a bit more, but then mine does weigh a bit more so maybe not any more than me. Blast to drive I am sure.

Yea i have not had her down the quarter yet but street raced , the ute should run around 9.6 at 140mph . i have a 66 elcamino that is tubbed 4 link. i am building a tt 600 ci for her it should make 1500+ on a street tune . that will be a blast .
