Title: 1983 k30 383
Post by: dunedigger on August 17, 2016, 08:53:00 pm

I have some old photos around the forum of my truck "old blue" and about three years ago I tore it down to nothing again to swap out the frame, axles, engine, and a lot more, ha ha.  Life sure got in the way but it's finally coming together.  It's alive and running and driving as of last weekend.  I need to put the hood back on, exhaust and front driveshaft.  Here's a little clip of it with open headers:

That motor sounds great.
What are the specs on it?
Is that the truck you put the CUCV frame under?

Yup, cucv frame.  Dyno'd at 511 plus HP and 496 ftlbs of torque.  It's all american parts and overbuilt.
