Not often I stop in .. time of a quick update..
After suffering and recovering from some bad engine machine work the truck got back on the road late in the season.. Now running a bed mounted rad and remote electric water pump. Finally no more cooling issues.
A trip to the chassis dyno revealed 80 LBS/FT improvement at the rear wheels - same boost level (10) psi. Moving the intake cam CL made a HUGE difference. So much so I'm out of transmission capacity... now prepping to move up to a built 4L80E.
Also changing over to sequential fuel/spark control.
Anyone have a nodular 9" carrier around?
Next year I plan on driving the truck more than working on it, may try and make the car craft nat's. Bonneville is in the cards also.
The rear sump oil pan is out making swaps easier. Also am considering doing a cast aluminum bellhousing to allow a normal GM 4 speed to bolt up and /or a T-5 which seems to be popular.
Comments/feedback welcomed.
EFI
PS: didn't get full power numbers this year but a 4500 rpm it made 510 RWHP and 504 RW tq. The drivetrain had some issues ........
