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.

Sorry for the late reply but it's been a busy year. First I want to say thanks for the compliments from all of you. This truck isn't going to be one of those super sano builds but I have a vision of what I want it to be when it's done. The 582 was built using a World products block with an Ohio crank crankshaft and rods, diamond pistons, and total seal rings. It's a 4.600" bore with a 4.375 stroke.
When I drive it I can certainly tell it's a big bad engine. My goal was to be able to retain the power steering and a/c and still have big performance. Here' a pic of the engine on the stand in the build up process. It takes some time to build an engine like this because of the mock up and clearence checking required including custom pushrods and modifying the guide plates to properly locate the rockers over the valve stems.
Here's a video of it idling. I have some more vidoes of it but am not real good at the editing thing. Also some pics of the engine and under carriage of the not yet finished drivetrain at the time. More to come when I get the chance. Thanks

Awsome Build !!!! Love those cubic Inches ;D

That is way cool and I love big blocks even though I did a mouse this time.

Very awsome, I'd bet it does good burnouts too ::)

I had a 505 in it briefly and it did excellent burnouts then. Now it'll do it at any speed pretty much. I've got a little bit of a traction problem even with the M/T et streets on it. I just ordered one of those go pro hd cameras so I should have some video of it soon with the 582 in it.

"I've got a little bit of a traction problem"
I know what your problem is right now...
582 Big Block = No Traction!
Problem solved... ;D

Does anybody know where that tranny cross member is from. I want a better one than the factory.
-
Sweet truck! I really like how you ran your exhaust. Never seen the mufflers outside the frame rails like that. Impressive
-
Geez louise, looks like sewer pipes for a exhaust system.lol
thanks

The crossmember is made from roll bar tubing and some flat steel stock. I bent it in my pipe bender that I use to make exhaust systems.

It completely ruined a set of mickey t et streets 31x16.5 which are about 12 inches wide. I put a set of 32x17.5s on that are basically a set of 14x32 slicks with a couple of little tread lines in them. It's never really gotten traction but here a small vid of it actually getting some down in my parking lot after some serious tire heating. Here's a link to a youtube video of it.

Very nice truck, please tell me you don't drive that beast everyday, you must own a gas station if you do.

Yeah it is real hard on gas. I think I ran something like $200 in gas through it the first week on the road just riding around in it.

I haven't had it on a dyno but the power should be big because it's got the parts in it to make it. Going to the track requires some more work but that's my goal. I bought new tires for my trailer today. I still have to put the rollbar in and check the tune up. Here's a link to a vid of me playing some more with it.
