1987 582 big block powered R-10
« on: November 23, 2010, 09:31:39 PM »
 I thought I would post a pic for those interested. Sorry for the poor quality I'll repost better images when I get a chance. My truck has a Dart headed roller cammed 582 in it. The trans is a manual valve turbo 400 with a 4500 converter, the rear is a Dana 60 with 4.88 gear a spool and 40 spline axles, disc brakes and Mickey Thompson ET streets on the rear. The rear suspension is ladder bar with coil overs and a lateral link. The engine has a 748 lift roller cam, tunnel ram, two 750 holley double pumpers, Dart pro 1 heads, 10.5 to 1 compression, pump gas friendly. It has a 4" exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers and is real loud. The wheels are 15x5 and 15x12 from wheel vintiques.

 I bought this from a friend for $600 it had a fuel injected 4.3 in it with a turbo 400 trans. I drove it for a year and started the transformation into a sort of pro street ride in 2007. It's come together well and is just plain ignorant as far as performance goes. I'll post some pictures and information on the build as I have time for anyone that may be interested.

 Keep up the good work this forum is really interesting and informative.
