This baby is just about ready to drop into my 72 c-10. Oh yeah!!!

355 with Trick Flow 23° aluminum 62cc heads. Comp Cams Extreme Energy 274 hydraulic flat tappet cam. Crane 1.5 Energizer Aluminum full roller rockers. And an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold... Oh my! That should be good for at least what... 200 horse?

Yes yes... I know the carb is dirty.

And yes yes... I know that the water neck looks like crap. Can't decide if I want to change it out to a chrome / brushed aluminum one... or if I want to pull it off and paint it orange to match the rest of the motor... Either way would look good to me.

Beefy.

jsbgump · 09-26-2009, 12:53 AM

Powerfullll

mrein3 · 09-26-2009, 10:03 AM

I painted mine orange.

texas67chevy · 09-26-2009, 10:46 AM

Where in fort worth are you? I live a few miles west of fort worth but i work downtown.

big_al_71 · 09-26-2009, 11:04 AM

looks like it should have potential maybe 205hp

j/k good job!!!

Beefcake · 09-26-2009, 11:15 AM

thats pretty much the set up i have in mine right now. Not bad for upper end power.

toddtheodd · 09-26-2009, 10:00 PM

I just went ahead and got a chrome one... it was only 15 fricken dollars...

Stupid power steering pump. Previous Owner broke the tensioning bolt off in the pump, and it's wedged in there so bad that after I drilled down into it a bit, and put my extractor thingy in it... it actually broke my extractor thingy. And now I can't drill that back out. Grrrr!!!

God I hate previous owners. People must love getting cars after me because I fix so much crap from the people before me.

unclewatts · 09-26-2009, 10:33 PM

Hey Todd! I'll be lookin' for ya in my 96 Toyota Corolla!

prairewolf · 09-27-2009, 07:47 AM

if I had that under the hood I would leave the hood off for a while. after 2 or 3 months my humbleness would kick in and the hood would go back on

looks good. ...kent

Man... doesn't it suck when you're putting a motor back into a truck and you're like "What plugged into this...?"
I had the distributor cap in hand thinking, "Where is the plug that plugs into this. I see the hot wire, and the tach..." Then it hit me. I don't see the other wires because I haven't stabbed the distributor yet.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-27-2009, 11:17 AM

Looking great.......

Painter D · 09-27-2009, 02:19 PM

I have pretty much the exact same setup on my sbc ,and I can't seem to keep my right foot out of it. You'll like it , I wouldn't trade my Trick Flow heads for any other ones.

fiddy9apache · 09-27-2009, 02:31 PM

should be pretty stout. looks good.

hayhauler71 · 09-27-2009, 02:53 PM

**americanmusc1e** · 09-27-2009, 06:51 PM

Starter heat shield from summit. Like 9 dollars or so.

No idea... Went from 76cc chambers to 62cc chambers, and was bored .030 over. Pistons are the dished type with eyebrows in them... so I know I bumped it some, but with the heads being aluminum instead of 500 tons of iron, I should still be running pump gas...

What do you think my compression is? I don't even know what it was stock... Didn't really worry about it to tell you the truth. Know I bumped it up... but don't think by much.

shaneschevys · 09-28-2009, 01:17 AM

What does the truck look like that the engine is going in? Just so I will know who not to mess with!

I guess the compression is 9.8 to 1. that's if the piston has a 12cc dish and not a 20cc and the deck is at 0.

Rreemo · 09-28-2009, 12:37 PM

Hey I'm just over by Texas Motor Speedway, I'll take that challenge!
