What's new with my Drag Racers? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

djracer · 02-20-2007, 09:31 AM

My pig is getting a diet! Aluminum Heads A new bed and cover and a second stage of nitrous!

bigjimzlll · 02-20-2007, 09:39 AM

well. we just welded the new S&W mustang2 front end in. I am buiding the rest of the cage now. The engine will be done in March. Looking for 875HP from the 14-1 540 with AFR 345 heads. I have a cheatah air shifter with a dedenbear lightning delay box.

The frame is basically a tube frame all of the way now.

Looking for 9.50's

djracer · 02-20-2007, 09:50 AM

oh yeah and a jesel belt drive and a nitrous camshaft!

djracer · 02-20-2007, 09:52 AM

cool Jim I will post some pics soon!

9.50's that's a joke right.................................................................................you know it should be faster with all those mods!

**Yukon Jack** · 02-20-2007, 12:02 PM

I'm eager for racing seasons to hit cause I enjoy watching both of your posts about your drag trucks!

djracer · 02-20-2007, 02:26 PM

you need to make a rd trip and see one or both of us run!

We need to talk Jim into coming to Alabama for a match race!

bigjimzlll · 02-20-2007, 08:49 PM

maybe some place in the middle???? I really like Vegas

I hung a fender on the frame tonight...lol Man it's LOWWWWW

onetonk5 · 02-20-2007, 09:31 PM

hey kevin i though you were still out of town........saw lights when i passed by on my way home from stations but didnt have time to stop

1BadSS · 02-20-2007, 09:44 PM

Tempted to take the driveline out of my truck and put it in a camaro / vega. It'll do 10.20's atleast pedaling it in a lighter chasis. All i've managed in the truck is a 11.39.

The same motor and trans in my 70 cutlass went 10.23's pedaling it.

409biscayne · 02-20-2007, 11:18 PM

I can't wait for race season , 2 more months . Just brought the 68 into the shop on Sunday, let the fun begin .
Later .............................. Doug

djracer · 02-20-2007, 11:44 PM

Mark I am out of town still but I had someone pull my heads intake and cam so I can send them to North Carolina! New stuff on the way!

djracer · 02-21-2007, 12:53 PM

its gonna be brodix -3 heads, a custom nitrous camshaft, edelbrock 2907 intake, jesel rockers, head studs, and cometic gaskets.

bigjimzlll · 02-21-2007, 03:20 PM

71Dragtruck · 02-22-2007, 10:49 PM

Sweet to all the above, as my kid would say!!!

djracer · 02-22-2007, 11:07 PM

Jim What are those hedders made for? they look wild!

bigjimzlll · 02-22-2007, 11:09 PM

A stock frame 67 style BBC. They are real nice, but I'm not going to be able to use them. I just ordered a set of weld ups for the frame I have.

*trkklr77* · 02-22-2007, 11:52 PM

ill get the rockers out of your way, for the right price ill take the girdles but im not nearly fast or cool enough to use them................yet.

i just orded a vodoo cam a dropped some 049 heads on the shorty, yeah... i should be busting into the high 15's buy the end of summer.

djracer · 02-23-2007, 12:09 AM

I'd take 300 with shipping for both and I have spare rockers. I also have a set of roller lifters for 100.00.

Kevin

*trkklr77* · 02-23-2007, 12:32 AM

ill take just the rockers then.

bigjimzlll · 02-23-2007, 01:48 AM

djracer · 05-22-2007, 08:21 AM

I am close to getting my motor back together! Jesel shaft rockers, Jesel Belt Drive, New 47swap nitrous cam, Speedtech Plate, Brodix -3 xtra aluminum heads. New 12 wide rear wheels. 16 volt Battery. and so on!

bigjimzlll · 05-22-2007, 08:30 AM

On my first 1/8th mile license pass it went 6.18 at 113 with the hood through the windshield.

It still weighs 3150 without my 300lbs

Toyo is having a 2 for one sale on their slicks and front runners.

djracer · 05-22-2007, 12:06 PM

Hood through the windsheild?

That doesn't sound good.

If you try the Toyo's let me know how they work.

bigjimzlll · 05-22-2007, 01:55 PM

I bought them but havent used them yet. I've heard nothing but good about them though
