Thanks!

 

I'd be wringing someone's neck if I paid for a junkyard motor that had an outside cleanup like that

 

No kidding, was that thing ran on sewer water, or gas???

Looks like the build is coming along pretty good now. How long do you think it's gonna be til you fire up the monster?

 

Looks good man. An id honestly run the truck just like it sits an try to do a few sleeper races before anyone catches on. Id tell 'em its a big cam 305 with heads after i won

 

Thanks, Yeah I'm getting really excited! I'm hoping to have it running by the end of this weekend or next.

Thats the exact plan!! It's gonna be a blast whoopin on all the local Ford stuff we have out here. The fastest Chevy truck within like a 100 mile radius, (besides by brother, Jake99) wont even hit a 13, but there's like 10 Lightnings out here with bolt-ons and pullies or aftermarket blowers.

 

I just got my engine running about 15 mins ago! I was very impressed how great it started, it did not even seem like one full revolution on the crank and it fired up, better than fuel injection! Damn, gotta love the snappiness of a carb engine! Im all pumped about driving it, I really wanted to but I didn't have the headlights installed. I wanted to make a video but my phone was dead. Ill get some video either tomorrow or Monday.

 

Another new part



So I can strengthen this:

 

Finished! Dirty, but you get the idea till I wash it ;D






Short video, still needs tuning

My bro made me some slapper bars. They're not finished yet but we put them on the truck for test fitting so I snapped a few pics.

 

Video of us playing around a little in the truck. In the first part of the vid I was trying the stall, it just spun right away lol, still no bed on it lol!

As you can see in the vid, I hit about 5k in 3rd, on a gear ratio calc with a TH350, 4.10's and 28" tires that's about 100mph, not accounting converter slip, but converter is pretty tight, at 5k I would guess there's no more than 3-400 rpm slip.
