New wheels and Motor

[70stroker]

Got my new ralleys rings and caps and the new 295-50-15s.
And finally got to take the bbc for a spin..... I loved the old sbc stroker but its no comparison. I know how people love pics so i figured id post a couple. I tryed to take a video of it running but when i downloaded the video it kept cutting out and sounded very bad. Ill keep tryin.

Wheels and motor looks great 70stroker, wish mine was together and running. by the way were did you get your Alt mounts?

[70stroker]

the alt mount is a billet aluminum version made summitracing, i think i payed around 80 bucks for it.

[Sinister]

That looks sweet, enjoy it.

[70stroker]

the rear wheels are 15x10 with 4.5 backspacing.

[QKENUF4U]

[70stroker]

Whats your setup.?
What motor?
intake?
Carb?
What headers are those?

I just picked up a BBC so im just gettin ideas.. I like your motor.

[70stroker]

The motor is a 454 block out of a 78 chevy pickup. I took it down and rebuilt it from the block up. The intake is a airgap version actually made by summit. the headers are also summit brand. It all seems to work well together.

Wow, thats what im doin. mines out of a 81. Im using an edelbrock performer intake with the stock quadrajet carb. You have a link of those headers.. I need some decent headers.

Just curious, i have so many vacuum lines and smog bull****, how much did you have to hook back up when you did your install? More curios about the transmission.. there seems to be a line that runs from this dashpot on the side of the th400 and goes to the intake manifold. think its a vacuum of some kind... Any ideas?

[70stroker]

you will have a line coming from the tranmission modulator going to manifold vacuum. the only other vaccum lines i have is the vacuum advance coming from the dizzy. the only wires i have would be a alternator power wire (1 wire setup) the battery cables and the ignition switch wire goin to th starter, and of course plug wires. All the egr and what not has been removed and it runs just fine.

The drop specs are as follows:

front 3 inch drop springs and 3 inch spindles.
rear flip kit (6 inchs) 1 inch blocks and i have air shocks in the rear so i play with the stance a little. In that pic i have 60psi i believe. It also has a bolt in c-notch that i welded in also just for extra security.

the ride quality is actually very good.

Nice, thats what im talking about. What do you recommend coating those headers with to keep em from rusting.. Any suggestions. You happen to have a link to your intake manifold you purchased also????

[corn]

Thats a sweet looking truck!

[70stroker]

I havnt coated them yet. I think what im gonna do is get some high temp flat black and then some black exshaust wrap and wrap them, that way it will keep the heat in the engine bay down and they wont start looking like crap.

Very nice setup. Just out of curiousity what became of the stroker?

[OrangeCrush1970]

Nice! Looks like one hell of a truck. I'd like to get a hold of it for a day....HA!

[corn]

I wouldnt wrap your headers. Street driven vehicles & wrap dont get along. It holds the moisture in & they will be toast in a year. I like mine black, I just touch them up once in a while...

[1LoC10]

where did you get the trim rings? The biggest I can find are ones that say they are for 8's or do those work?
