ha ha nice

now is it just me, or does it sound a lot like a farmall M?

292farmer · 04-16-2010, 09:35 PM

i get a lot of people saying it sounds like a tractor

course most tractors are inline motors so makes sense right?

'72customdeluxe · 04-16-2010, 11:47 PM

A little head milling and a Clifford 264 and noone will mistake it for a farm implement

I love sixes

Shaky · 04-17-2010, 05:12 AM

Dude - without hanging over the side of the bed while driving or anything, is there anyway you can get some sound with that thing under way?

Better do it quick, 'cuz yer butt is gonna get pulled over soon!

292farmer · 04-17-2010, 07:50 AM

im gonna have my wife take a vid of me driving around the shop yard then up and down the road, then maybe have her in the cab holding camera. actually the cops in my town where i live love the truck, its the town where i work that might be a problem but i've driven by state cops and town cops before with no problem so far(the trucks got too much awesome to pull over

).
probably wont get vid till monday as tomm is her birthday so this weekend is all for her none of my truck stuff, though may drive her to dinner in it...
72custom i plan, budget allowing one day on some lpg 9:1 comp pistons .040 over heads milled .040 clifford 270 cam with rhoads lifters, lump port kit for intake, 1.94 intake and 1.56 exh valves, hei, and either a 2x1bbl intake or 3x1bbl intake.

You might check the classifieds over at

292farmer · 05-02-2010, 09:29 AM

yeah the 292 is definetly a lot stronger then youd think i hoping when i finally get an exhuast system on it it wil improve the lowend torque and i can tune the carb better.
72customdeluxe summitracing sells them actually they will say LPG in the part description, they wont say they are 9.0:1 compression, but they will work they come in std, .030, .040 and .060 oversizes. i'll be ordering mine through them when i can finally start the rebuild. heres one from them,
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FEM-980P40/
shaky, i can usaully get it into 4th by 20 when the motors warm when it cold after just starting i wind it up a bit as it sputters everyonce in a while, 20mph in 4th=1200rpms 30mph=1800rpms 35=2100rpms and 40mph=2500rpms which is pretty high as it appears to redline at either 3600 or 4000rpms either way 30mph comes at half throttle.
btw did the math this week after filling up i got 15.7 mpg!!! with 4.56grs!! woot woot

hicktownhotrodder · 05-06-2010, 08:08 PM

man i would kill to get 15 mpg.

especially now that gas is up over $3 here in the crooked state of illinois.

292farmer · 05-07-2010, 10:34 PM

yeah im glad its so good, gas isn't over 3$ yet but its close at 2.89$ im been trying to find out if theirs a way to add an OD unit to the sm465 i've heard of it being done to the three spds and borg trannys? im not sure still trying to find info.

Me two I drive mine 20 miles to work every day and can't get better then 10.5 so I had to buy a little Ranger that gets 28 and park my 70 Chevy

But maybe the money I save in gas I can finally start the rebuild
