Just figured wheelie bars would be another ode to your old camaro. Except hopefully you wouldnt get caught on railroad tracks this time :lolguy: Let me know when you're going to PDP and I'll come up.

Looks good Sam! Any details on the engine? Planning on putting wheelie bars on this one as well?

Have any plans to put the SV1 back on?

Got some work done with what little shop time I had today. Installed main studs and checked to see if I had to align hone. Spec is 2.937-2.938 and I'm right at 2.9375 so I won't have to be doing any align honing. I chose 1/2in. ARP studs with provisions for a windage tray. Studs installed and waiting for the caps. TQed to spec with the caps installed.

Splits your gears up even more so you can have more tq multiplication. Instead of only having 5 gears, you now 20 different gear selections to keep the engine around peak tq.

IIRC that's a 5speed with a 4 speed behind it. Hence the twin sticks. Almost all old big trucks use that set up. Still haven't figured out the switches though.

Thinking I'll go this year, as I've never been before. Hopefully bring the 68 out.

One of my favorite run away videos And what a proper 2 stroke diesel sounds like. :megusta:

Came in here expecting to see a 2-stroke.... and that's what I found.

HP is the primary goal with this build. The current 454 in our 68 makes 540tq and it's already way more than enough for a truck.

Welcome Sam! Sam is helluva guy, used to work for my mom wayyyyyyyyy back in the day. Parents also bought their first house from Sam

:megusta: By far my favorite exhaust available for the EB.

Welcome. What exhaust did you pick for the EB?

Picking up a stroker kit tomorrow. Will be a 489 when I'm done. No clues on power on the power level....it'll make 600 somewhere on the dyno graph with pump gas. With the 10.5:1 compression it'll be running, it leaves room for a blower and e85 down the road :masturboy:. It will be going in my dads 68 C10.

Brought it back and was finally able to get out what plugs were still left in it. For cleaning I had two options. I could either shot peen or bake the block. I choose to bake the block. Baking takes the block to 500 degrees for about 40 minutes Before After Turns most of the dirt/carbon/paint to ash. Finally clean after a run through the jet washer. Wet-magged it today as well and everything looks good.

Picked up a 454 big block last august courtesy of Patterson. Had a wiped cam and I knew it was in need of a full rebuild. Here it is the day I picked it up. Within 2 days I had it in class and fully torn down. Balancer was on tight enough that I broke 2 pullers before getting it off. When I received it, it had a 10qt oil pan on it as well. Along with full ARP hardware for the timing chain cover and oil pan. Inside was a Scat 9000 series crank, Scat forged pro-comp i-beams, and KB hypers. Pistons and rods finally out. The cam and lifters were wiped as well. They took out all the bearings. And down to a bare block. Which is how it stayed up until last week.

Saw a silver turbo c5 driving around sunbury last week. Sounded fun.

This might be it. If so, its located in Lenoir, NC. http://mustangforums.com/forum/pipes-boost-and-juice/675081-need-help-with-my-boosted-5-0-a.html

Thought that was the TT-RS?

Oz won't touch something without emissions unless it comes in on a trailer.

Detail the truck :lolguy:

Here's the new injectors for it. http://images.thecarconnection.com/lrg/a-fuel-injector-as-used-on-gms-gen-v-small-block-v-8_100371786_l.jpg

Bob Motz is awesome to watch! Did they have you move back from the windows when the jet cars were running?

:no:
