    rocker noise

    I never thought my roller rockers were noisy. Are they 1.6 or 1.7's? That will add to the lift of the cam profile. .488 is getting close to .500. Do you know the max lift your valve springs can handle? It been awhile since I built a sbc, but I remember valve springs going in .050 increments. If...

    Whats you gas mileage on your squarebody truck?

    Fuel economy was the only reason I went with a 4bt and the fact the 350 was really worn out. That app is a great way to keep track of what she's doing.

    Whats you gas mileage on your squarebody truck?

    Im pretty sure I paid for it. Don't recall how much. You can also log repairs and oil changes.

    Whats you gas mileage on your squarebody truck?

    It's car minder for iPhone. Not sure if it is a droid app too. I'd like to find out my straight highway mileage for that thing, but my first highway trip from Wichita to OKC and back just put me down to over 3/8 of a tank.

    Whats you gas mileage on your squarebody truck?

    This is my last fillup of city mileage from my 1988 suburban. I have about 6000 dollars in just the drive train swap though.

    Thanks for the words of encouragement. I just see them increasing in value in the next 10-15 years as they rust and get crushed. I need to put on a backburner. If I don't and get it rid of it I will just end up starting from square one on another expensive project in the next 5 years. That's a...

    Full tilt front end.

    I've seen guys doing this and I'm not a fan. The whole back of burb will go. I might have to put a driveshaft tunnel in it and then z the frame moving the rear axle back about a 8" then cut the rear of the frame. Ive been taking tape measures to it even though I'm not ready just some...

    Full tilt front end.

    Well I do have probably 200-300 hours in this thing. Everything has been a struggle with and now you can start it and drive to a freaking coast if you wanted to. It gets about 25 on the highway and it's not a slug at all. I mean I'm not going to travel forever and when we stop I'll be driving a...

    Full tilt front end.

    Honestly I really don't want to. I am feeling pressure from my dad and wife. I am still thinking about keeping it. What I should do is ask 11,000 and let it sit in the driveway.

    Full tilt front end.

    Well I'll travel into hospitals and help out when they are short or strike it's actually quite common because of this and the fact we can use the suburban to pull. We are considering selling it. I have a lot of money into it and most of its new/rebuilt. Every thing in the drivetrain has been...

    Before the light fuel mods and new turbo it was running 20 mpg in town. I'm not sure about highway or whats its doing now. I didnt go through my whole tank to figure it out either.

    I've got second skin on the the whole under carriage and all the sheet metal of the engine. I also put great stuff that insulation in a can in the front firewall. When i have time and money I'll do the interior and soundproof the inside. I need to get the exhaust leak addressed. Right now it...

    Full tilt front end.

    You know that 4 cyl might not of pulled that bahemoth but it only used 5/8 of a tank there and back. That was also trying to pull it from Moore to the far north side of okc and back. It accelerates well and I ran it 80 on the Kansas turnpike. Its loud and I need to hunt down an exhaust leak but...

    That is geared awful high but I would have appreciated it. It sucked having to turn around. That trailer is 7300 lbs dry 35 ft long. It near 10000 gross. I'm heading back tomorrow. The truck I bought is not ready so they are letting me borrow one to get the trailer back home.

    Dude you crack me up! Well to your first question. You know damn well that was me. To your second I had to take it back to the dealership because there was no way my 4 cylinder could pull that. It was really struggling. My egt started sustaining 1300. I took it back let it cool off and haven't...
