« on: January 22, 2013, 08:29:51 pm »

Plan to Race this truck in street class over the summer, will have many questions between now and june to prep the truck for the 1/4 mile,
Cheers!

Updates? You're doing the swap I've wanted to for years! Would love to do a high-compression 472 or a 500. What mounts and headers did you use?

I see you are a fellow Canuck. Lower Mainland of BC here :)

Sorry Folks, done alot more to the truck, motors in and running, fuel system plumbed, installed electric fans from a caravan, made up a driveshaft loop, custom length driveshaft installed, spool installed, 3.42 gears, put the old rusty box on, megashifters working great, rebuilt the quadrajet, too much to list, it sure doesnt look good, but man from idle up there is nothing but torque, cant keep this truck from spinning,

sux2bu99 the mounts are 68-72 rear wheel drive single stud mount, attached to the frame by a 3/8 plate welded to the original mount pad and braced by flat bar to the inside frame rail, its more then strong enough, as of right now I am currently using the original manifolds, but you can purchase header flanges from Maximum Torque Specialties In California, great service!

Open to any input or thoughts of how to improve 1/4 mile times with the truck style

Thanks, Brennan

     Have you tried the 1/4 mile yet, or tried to clock yourself to see what your time might be ?
