Some familiar trucks in here. Here's my bucket.

1990 454SS. I've owned it almost 22 years. Done all mods myself except for any paint (both sides are original paint and Bumper/grille/hood/roof/tailgate/roll pan all modified/painted). Engine block/oil pan/timing cover are original to truck. Nothing else on the motor is. Trans is T56. 4.56 rear gears/Eaton posi in original housing. 5"fr & 7"rr drop. 398rwhp/417rwtq. Motor dyno'd at Lingenfelter Performance 12 years ago 505 peak hp/535 peak tq.

Damn Tod!! Thats a clean azz SS!!! Love it!

This is my 1989 Chevy Silverado, SLEEPER lol mods are:

LQ4 6.0 swap
Sock long block including all bolts
216/220 .525/.525 114 cam with LS9 springs
Homemade front mount turbo system
Turbonetics TC76/68mm turbo
4" FMIC
Bosch 95# injectors
Bed mounted 20 gal fuel cell
Twin 255 inline pumps
4L80e trans w/HD-2 shift kit and STOCK converter
Detroit Tru-Trac w/4.10 gears and an aluminum girdle diff cover

It's still a work in progress (hence the stall & gears). I have a new turbo, BW S475 w/92mm T4 exhaust, Yank Pro triple disc converter and 3.42 gears on the way ;D I bought this truck from a good buddy of mine who's dad bought it brand new in 1988 near Fresno Ca, I now live in Sublette, ks.

With this current setup I've gone 12.3@122.65 with a 2.27 60ft on 11psi leaving off of idle.

Thanks. I would imagine you get your setup dialed in it should fly. Mine has gone 12.67@109mph with my NA motor badly needing a tune, and a manual trans (clutches have been a major PITA since I put this together many years ago).

I made a few passes a month or so ago on my new clutch and only went 13.0s. My best 60' to date was a 1.74". I only made 3 passes on this last visit but couldn't do any better than a 1.98" 60'

How did you get the Vette wheels to fit, was there any issuers. Love the way they look on that.

Thanks. Adapters fr & rr. Lots of trimming on the front LCA to get the front wheels tucked in. If not so low, then use a wider adapter and pretty much bolt on.

Not much but slightly rusted 98 ECSB with a tired 305 and soon to be getting a 2001 6.0 LQ4 with a 4L65E. And maybe the rear end if I can convert the axles over to 5X5 bolt pattern. And of course weld new leaf spring perches on it.
