1990 454 rcsb drag truck build
Ive had a 90 350 for a couple years and decided to make it a drag truck.i put a stock bottom end 454 with 1969 396 heads and a 400 trans.
I ran this combo in a SS454 truck 12.0 on motor and 11.0 on a 150 shot at 4400lbs. Im hopeing that after removing a lot of weight and a much lighter truck it should run 11.50's on motor and 10.50's on spray.Alls i have left to start it is a new starter.I need a 3000 stall,gears and a spool.
I ask Shino to post some pictures for me.

no problem man. damn that sucks. starter should be easy to get for it though. you going to spray a 150 shot on it? i was telling my cousin with the 454 ss about this last night. trying to get him some inspiration to get his **** back on the road. he was going 13.0 on the TBI setup. he put a cam in it and it ran like **** because he couldnt get a good tune on it then it ate up the cam. threw in a new motor built a little bit and put a carb on also. ran strong up until about 4.5k and would fall on its face. would die at idle and all that. put 3 different carbs on still being a turd. now its been sitting for 4 years

Back to my truck,I put a new cheap starter in yesterday and click,so I put a jumper box on click I said what the heck is going on.
I shimmed it with 3 then 6 and click so I pulled the plugs turned the engine over I even unbolted the converter and still click.I kmow I should have bought a good starter but with 8.5 compression this should turn over fine.I guess its just a bad starter.
So know off with the header,take the starter back out and buy a better one this time.This truck has fought me every step off the way,I think it wanted a LS motor instead.lol and the clock is ticking for the track so Im not sure what ill spray it all depends on how it performs on motor..
