The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The HiPo Shop any high horsepower motors in here?

anyone besides me have a crazy toy in here? this is the hipo shop right?

How crazy?

I have three deuces on a 1959 pontiac 389 in a 1959 gmc 1/2 ton longbed. The engine was bored and stroked to make 447 inches, and was a direct bolt in for the original gmc 336 v8. This truck is my daily driver. Crazier than the engine, i have a propane bbq grill hidden in the passenger side rear fender, and a bar(alcohol) hidden in the driver side fender.

I also have five deuces on a 302 gmc inline 6. I'm not very good with math.

That's awesome! My favorites! BBQ, muscle cars and alcohol. Don't drink and drive though.

my new engine is based on the GM ZZ4.350 ci about 365 hp

How about HevyHaulers '56 6400? 496 big block, Powermatic trans, and it still gets used as working truck!

My 55 210 has a 485 HP 383 SBC. My old El Camino had 612 HP 406 SBC. But my 55 3100 putts around with it's 235.

383 sbc with 871 bds blower. Dual 780 holleys. 741 hp. Never took it to the track because I have no seat belts but I've pulled on motorcycles from 60 to 140mph. I really gotta figure out this photo thing. I pass a lot of things sideways. Tirerack.com loves me also. Every 6 weeks or so it's another $400.00. My dad says he regrets helping me build a death trap.

delete...........wrong link

Man are those bullet holes in your burbs windshield? Nice dragster by the way.. What did you run in it? Eta and hp?

delete, test post pix not working

Not bullet holes. Rocks. But most folks think they are bullet holes, so if it makes them happy........ That glass is long gone.


That dragster was the last front engined top fuel world champion. 1971. 6.41 et, fastest it's been was 232 mph. Beat Garlits at Amarillo for the win. You can usually see it at your local cackle car show although I don't think we're going to Escondido this year and haven't been invited to Del Mar yet.

trying again to post hollow65 pix
his truck
engine

Thanks joker! I wish I wasn't such a moron

no problem, you are way ahead of me with the hitech stuff
all I have is a cheap trac phone..

your truck looks really neat, question, I dont recall
ever seeing an engine raised like yours, is that common or have I missed them..can you drive it on the hiway

I drive that thing really fast on the highway. It's my weekend cruiser or if I get off work before 8pm I drive it to the gym and groceries stores. It sits low but the blower is really tall with the carbs and that's the thinnest air cleaner I want to run. It's a 2.5" barely fits with a 4" cowl.

Nice!!

you California folks have a law not to drive after 8:00 pm
lol

There's too much traffic before then any how.

ok, and they get in your way..
so to get back on topic,, what kind of future plans do you have for it...............

I won't start it too late. I Try to be respectful of my neighbors. 8:30 is the latest unless its a weekend then they can [censored] off.

I didn't put the f-word.... I put pi$$

we have smart computers,, they screen out stuff really well...
I know about neighbors and noise, son use to have a dirt track car
and it was heck getting it back in the garage at mid night because he did not want to start and drive it in....

Body work and paint. It was a gloss black when I was 21-27 then I had it pearl white with a blueish green pearl. Now it's a multi primered jalopy. I'm thinking gloss black again. I have to fix the pass door though. My mother hit it pulling into my d-way. I guess she didn't see the 18' truck in the way... Oh I might even put some seat belts in it.

Does a tractor count? Five fuel burning 575 Arias with 14-71 blowers. 11,500HP and 14,000#/ft torque. It's a little noisy.

That's a good noise!! We have an Arias in our alcohol funny car.

MNSmith are you in San Diego? Or north?

Don't need hot rods anymore. Too many police and too low of speed limits. And gas costs way too much. Need lots of gas mileage now instead

and the point is? the post is about people having high horsepower motors

Pomona, CA.

I have a diesel for mileage and reliability. I have a blown pickup because I have more money than brains. It get about 16 mpg if I can keep my foot out of the throttle. But where's the fun in that?

1952 Chevy truck, 283, 600 Holly, Offenhauser dial a flow, aluminum high rise intake, power pack heads, rams horns manifolds, 1952 Cadillac Batwing style breather assy, turbo 350, duals w/Cherry Bombs to give it that certain sound. That's about all I know about it, not sure about type cam or pistons as it was purchased this way.

My '46 GMC has a 455 Buick. The way it's built it should be close to 350 HP and 500 Ft-lbs of torque. That's crazy enough for me for a street driven truck, since I also want decent mileage so I can drive it more!

I essentially have the bottom end of a Winston cup car with 7:1 compression. Red line is 7600 rpm but I have a pill in my msd 6al for 7000 rpm. Saved me many times.. Forged everything. Iron heads from dart. It's an old motor. I go through it every 3 years or so. Dual 3" exhaust with "H" pipe and single chamber flow masters that dump before the rear end. It thumps pretty well at idle. When ya give it some throttle it whines like an airplane.

Alcohol burning Arias funny car...do you by chance use Dennis Piranio engines? Well known for such.

This funny car is the old Capt Crazy car. It is a confused motor. The Chevy BB based, Hemi motor with Ford valve covers. http://www.bunchobikes.com/crazy11.jpg Most all work, past and present, done in California. Nick, himself, isn't that far away. What's he sitting in?? A Stovebolt! http://www.nickariasjr.com/index.asp

Next week is the nastalgia drag races at barona casino. I'll take some pics and try to post them. It's 1/8 mile but fun as hell and the pits are open to everyone.

you guys have nothing, I have a 1936 207 with 80hp on a good day! lol

I got a 46 1/2 ton with a 56 235 6 cylinder bored .60 over with a worked head and a full race cam, clifford 4 bbl intake, and holley 750 dual feed with a custom made header, that pushes around 400 horsepower backed up with a t-5 tranny and a ford 9in. rear, that gives those old chevelles and camaros a run for they're money

Bobby Hansen might be down there cackling his Wynns car.
