    This one runs 5.38s and peak HP is made @ 6300 RPM, 11.90s -12.20s NHRA stock 1985 350, and that means stock intake, Q-Jet, dished pistons, 624 smog heads, .398 lift cam. My 327 peaks @ 6600 RPM and carries it to 7000 RPM. The math says 103 MPH with a 5.13 gear and a 29.50 tire says 6800 RPM...

    My Rear End Build For My Low Buck Street/Race Truck

    I've posted on here before about my 79 C-10 long bed with a 3.07 open rear end. Running a best of 13.50 @ high altitude tracks, now its time to turn it up. Locally the last time I had the truck out I had a wheel spin problem actually because they don't want to prep the track, and with the open...

    Who makes this gear set?

    Who makes a 5.13 gear that will go on my 12 bolt truck 3 (3.73) series open carrier? Thanks.

    Thanks. The truck has a open 3.07 gear, I haven't changed it yet because I want to tune as much out of it as I can, plus I drive it a lot. My next move is re drilling the rotors for car rims and tires, then maybe a aluminum drive shaft.

    1979 C-10

    Good question: Because we were in the middle of building my sons 302 and had bought several virgin 327 core engines, I DO NOT like nice virgin GM engine cores to go to waste, or just sit around and never do anything with them, and I wanted my 14 year old son to understand what its like to build...

    1979 C-10

    That sticker is gone. Surprising the truck was fairly virgin, and the rear end is original, I do plan to build another rear rear end for the truck, and then I can call it done. I just hope theres not 3.08s in there, which will be counter productive to the 13 sec time slip I would like to see.
