Cool.  I am diggin' those horns, but they need to be BIGGER.  Good job on the intake selection.  What cam did you end up with?  And when do we get to hear it run?

[Captkaos]

nice are the buckets factory?

[oldwhity]

Alot of potential in that truck. It's not a "POS" in my eyes. BTW good lookin Cutty.

[grinder1989]

Thanks everyone.  No factory buckets.  I don't have anything for video yet and thanks I love my cutlass.  The cam is a Comp.  I'd have to dig up the numbers on it.

How you like it , I have the same one just waiting for the block to come back

[grinder1989]

It looks sweet but I haven't ran the new engine.  I'll let you know though.

[grinder1989]

A little update.  I'm installing the engine starting tomorrow night.  I'll be sure to include some pics after I get some batteries for my camera.  Video won't be available though.  The truck will make it's way to Drag Way 42 this spring in it's current condition.  Should big a big surprise to see a crappy truck run a good time.  I'm in the market for tires too. 

[grinder1989]

Good news, truck has the engine in and it needs to be tuned. 

Bad news, no pics yet.   

[grinder1989]

And I got me a quick little truck.  I haven't updated my last thread because I've been busy but I added some new things...

I got some heavy duty coil spring shocks for the rear, and some more body parts.  I'm going to order a new cab kit from the site as well as some traction bars and that nifty digital gauge set when I get some extra money.  My cab, fenders, and new hood will be done before the summer is over.  The hood is a stock hood with a L88 corvette style hood scoop on it.  I thought it was unique so I picked it up.  It needs some minor work and will be done soon.  My main focus now is the rear end.  I'm thinking a detriot locker with a 3.73 gear.  I'm unsure of my current gear and I have an open diff.  Are there any cons to a locker?  Also I want to lose the column shifter and do something like a pistol grip in a console, any ideas?  Thanks guys and I will have pics of the new stuff soon, including the engine installed.

is this what you are referring to, since you didn't put what truck and what type engine?

[grinder1989]

Yup.  It's a 74 Chevy C10.  The engine is a 70 350 bored .20 over with a comp cams cam and an Edelbrock high rise dual plane and a Holley 750.

Right on, glad you got an increase in power! What do you think it would run in the 1/4?
