kjett - 3k lbs?!?! I sure wish I was that light, I'm at a shade over 5k right now. Hopin to do some sorta diet plan on the truck but still have it look normal from the outside.

Thanks everyone, I'll keep ya posted on progress, changes and such as I get this winter mod frenzy movin along!!

 

^^ ^ send me a pm and I can give ya some ideas for that diet plan

 

trying to go for the tunnel ram look?? lol damn i'd think you'd start to lose hp after about a 2in spacer and those are some THICK header gaskets your using

both of you have awesome trucks though

 

Awesome looking truck

 

^^^ it's a 2" cloverleaf and a 1" 4 hole. It's to help promote better fuel swirl and increasse the air/fuel velocity when running a dual plane intake.


The headers actually have a 3/8" spacer between them and the heads. Its to give me a smoother transition between the max ported D3 heads and the 2 1/8" tubes.

 

^^sent ya a visitors message, not sure if thats the same as a pm or not LOL

Oh, hey don't forget that socket on your intake!! LOL J/K

 

Since you are new, it won't let you PM. Send me an e-mail at K_jett at hotmail dot com.

bartn98 - I am running moser shafts in the rear 60. No problems so far but they are only 30 spline 1" shafts so I have my fingers crossed LOL. The stock ones lasted awhile but once I stepped up to a healthy big block, it wasnt long before they gave up on me.

Whats up with the valve covers vented into the exhaust? Is it just a different spot instead of the air cleaner. I'm interested never seen that before.

 

I do believe he explained it on here before.

I want to say that it creates a sort of very small vacuum especially when it gets into the higher Rpm's....

Not sure on that. I think its right but Karl will likely chime in. Heck Ed might know something about it too.

 

It's a race motor thing. You won't see that on your normal street motor. They are crankcase evac tubes that use the exhaust flow to suck the gases out of the crankcase.

 

I'll be running those on my new build as well, not sure if they help alot, but I know they do work. They're also supposed to help keep the piston rings sealed so that you don't lose compression to blow by.

 

you the guy who was doing burnouts on youtube?

shame on you lol
