I also love the 1st gen motors, had long talks with a buddy that builds at your level, but I couldn't spend over $10g's to get over 500hp.

Your truck will look awesome with a LS motor, which version would you get, any power adders? The E-Rod came out after I ordered my motor, it had me second guessing my choice...or a truck 6.0l with a Magnaflow blower, gotta go by another lotto ticket. Guess the '40 is on the front burner now??? Keep us in the loop.

I don't think I would spend 150+ to add a place that has potential to leak. There are a lot of options out there for LS valve covers these days that look so much better.

Well anything has a potential to leak!! but I do agree that there are alot of options out there, but as far as what looks better, that will be up to the buyer..

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

Nice

I have to ask...did someone catch the still shot right as you applied the brakes or did you go back and re-stage that picture? Either way it's a cool picture

I could have gone a lot further with it but she started to turn sideways and I did not want to hit the wall.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

Sweet! Runs good enough (way good) for your Pops if that is still the plan?

Save the LS3 idea for the next truck build IMO.

When do we see the 40 Ford finished? Was it getting a HEMI (Gasser Style) or a 2bbl 289?

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

In my opinion, this is a better option for the old valve covers on an LS. You don't have to worry about the stamped steel valve covers leaking, and they hide the coils for you without having to relocate them.

This is a great example, clean and simple...SuperFly's truck is so slick this motor would be perfect. The engine shop ad even looks classy and 480 hp with out power adders is stout.
