I would go run it, but I just had to pull the steering column on it, I couldn't get 1st gear or reverse, needs a rebuild, and its hard to find the parts, so I will update later about the race.

 

When I got my truck with the stock 360 which had almost no oil pressure and was knocking so bad I couldn't stand it, I ran an 18.4 second quarter. This truck is a long bed and had no known drivetrain modifications. The gear was a 3.25 one legger. You should easily be in the 17s. Maybe even high 16s. It weighed about 4250 with me in it.

 

I'd also like to see what my 1/4 would be running a 67 shortbox 1/2 ton. I've got a 352 with edelbrock performer intake and 600cfm 4bbl. It's got an open 4inch air cleaner, dual breathers(no PCV) and pertronix ignitor. 3 on the floor converted from column, and duals running through stock logs and generic turbos. Timing at about 10-12 BTDC. For tires in the back I'm using proxes ST 275/60R15.( http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?ti...l=Proxes+S%2FT) They have a really aggresive directional tread and get extremely good traction. I've got 3.5 open read diff too. I'm just looking for a rough idea on a time.
Thanks
Nate

 

Mine ran 18.8 @ 69.6mph in the dead of summer... 3500' d/a.
At the time it had very tiny rusted up dual exhaust and glasspacks and about 500 miles on the stockish rebuild.
'69 250
390 0.040 over.
stock 2v and intake.
stock logs.
stock ignition.
C6
Dana 60 w/ 4.10's.
8.25x16.5's with one wheel peel.

 

Ranger 240......i am not sure bout lift off with these trucks these things have some serious stock torgue.....a friend of mine has one(240sx) and i dusted him big time in street lights he gets...16's i think, these trucks just need alittle more at top end........if your running street tires real try to avoid the water or...do a burn but make sure it a good one ....or your take off will be all sliping I met a man at the track recently he has 69.shortbed..360bored 8 over think he had edelbroke and not sure bout the heads or cam or any thing it was street legal and on pump, he ran with a shot of nos he ran mid 12's at like 101-102 mph...ill ask him bout internals..with out nos he ran 13's......hope i helped i spend alot of time at drag strip and alot of time round drivers.....drive right and the truck will do all the work.......just a thought.....

 

Probaly a mid 16.

 

Pat67, what you think about my quarter mile time? I just put the motor back in my truck and I'm getting excited!

352 - .080 over, 390 crank, headers, 428 4bbl intake, 600cfm holley, t-18 (lol) for now, 225'sx15, D60 3.54 locking, and shortbox.

You think if it's in granny 1st I'll getta better launch? lol (just kiddin on that one)

 

Hey Mudinman is the 67 shortbed you're talking about white and with worn in 12.5 mickey thompson sportsman tires. If so I know that guy.

 

That's close to my combo:
'70 car 390, 9.5:1, stock 2v cam, shelby dual plane intake, headers, C6, dana 44 3.54, 235/75/15's.
I ran 15.91 it's first outing on a warm day with wind, so...
Depending on how the shifts go, expect an upper 15.

 

Pat, I forgot to mention my RV cam. I know that it's not a high RPM cam, but would it help acceleration because of the low end torque?

Yeah, my tires are tiny.... 225/70/15. My truck screams going over 70-80

 

moore 89 i think thats him if i remember right it was tubed out.........

 

probably this

desktop dyno says that

my buddies cousins girlfriends grandmothers fiance said his truck ran 12s....

Yadi Yadi Yadi...

Everyone get their **** down to a track and post some real numbers :-)

I will as soon as I get my truck running safe and legal :-) Well, at least almost legal!

How fast would a 1982 F100 long bed, with a 460, 485 hp, 485 ft. lbs, with a Tremec TKO II trans and a 9' with 4:11 gears run in the quarter mile? I have yet to find out one day. Im hpping for low 13's
