I'm wondering if anyone out there has a drag racing truck? Any photos or storys about it? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | 454 won't get ya anywhere nowadays, need something like this!

I put a T-56 six speed trans in it for the highway cruise and a 4.56 gear in a 12 bolt posi rear end. I also put all viper internals into the trans to handle the torque of the stroker.

Looks like a big blower drive sticking out drivers side of hood. Don't expect my 40 to turn out that wild.
