[jgh64pkup]

about 320 hp and 375 tq
this is with 9 to 1 compression
and a 4000 pound truck using camquest

[dammitmitchell]

annd... well those sounnddd good to me!
hahahhaa...
others say different.. i prey yours is right.. because it sure as hell dont feel like 250 hp...

[jgh64pkup]

this is not the greatest desktop dyno but it seems pretty acurate
i hope mine is going to be at 430hp/430tq after the head swap

[highperf4x4]

You're showing 2 different valve sizes. Are your intake valves 1.94 or 2.02?

That 76cc head is your biggest setback right now. You gonna look for some with smaller combustion chambers? If you could find a set with 64-67cc chambers and 2.02 intake valves you'll be in good shape.

[dammitmitchell]

the heads unfortunately right now are obviously a major setback, bu tthey are past my allowance to get.. damn....
nut in the near future... it will come.. right now... i want them really really dang bad..
but oh well..

[jgh64pkup]

i wonder how accurate the comp cams camquest is

[dammitmitchell]

hey all well! i got the heads town down.. they are actually in reallllly dang good shape! (to bad im gonna replace them soon)
i finished all my welding and "fender extensions" up..
it could have definatley come out alot better but im inot gonna complain seeing how it's my first attempt at this...

so inner and the main fenders done, all i need now is to get off me arse and sandblast the hood and the rad support, headers and battery tray...
paint them up.. and then it'll be time to spray gloss coat on everything....
motor is ready valve r assembly once the RIGHT freaking valve seals come in..
and im set.. time to take pictures i guess

[jgh64pkup]

cool did you get that program working i think it works great

[dammitmitchell]

ok so her's the pictures....
im waiting on gloss cote in the next few days to seal in the paint etc.. etc.. to make it alllll pretty...






in addition to what is seen i also have new timing tape/ clutch(on order) all gaskets needed.. and well.. oil etc...
whenever the gloss gets sprayed i'll be ready and waiting to put the body back together.... so i can finish sliding in the motor and be reeeady to go....

also got a new shock bolt mount for my front axle.. the old one was MIA for quite some time now...

hopefully.. three weeks.. we'll be good to go... and i'll be ready fo break in!

[dammitmitchell]

[dammitmitchell]

wooot wooot! ordered my poly body bushings wheee!
http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cc/full.aspx?Page=53

my distro will FINALLY be able to be adjusted without a whole lot of complaiing!

[TheSebring]

Man we need to get a filter for you bro. Sometimes you type things out so fast that it takes me a minute to figure out what you're trying to say

Nice work on the truck so far. Keeping my eye on the build process.

[dammitmitchell]

i talk like i think.. and i type like i talk..
yes i should Slllooooowwww down.. but it's a terrible habit left over from the army.. it's kinda lie army induced ADD...
it sucks! hahahha

[dammitmitchell]

i had o do this....
was doing body mounts..
one bolt snapped off.. (and yes i used PB blaster.. my usual soaking regiem etc...)
then i welded a socket onto the remaining shaft of the bolt..
bolt broke so far in that i couldnt save it..
so.. after heating etc.. it's just impossible..
so...
i did this... now that ive calmed down im going to wait til tomorrow morning before i start welding it all back together

[jgh64pkup]

man that sucks ive been getting pretty pissed when doing my suspension
my dad always says jokingly sit down drink a beer and smoke a cigarette (in your case cigar)

[dammitmitchell]

well weather her tonight sucked.. (hot and we had alot of power outages..)
and so i moved my heads into the living room to make em pretty and complete...
and then my awesome wife wanted to leart what in the world i was doing =-)

[TheSebring]

Weather here has been burning my skin plum off. We had like 5 consecutive days of 100+ and they just keep coming.

[Chevy1TonFun]

[dammitmitchell]
