As if we don't know you... Reeeeeeeally?

Nice to see you're still chugging away at it. I'll def. be down in Feb... :o

the benefit in like august? I surely hope so...

Well, i'm hoping it's enough motor... but i'm already looking for a 502 block to build me an 11:1 540... So, i guess you reeeeeally do know me.

When you wanna come turn some wrenches?

You need to get Byron ( ITTLFLY ) to give you that 502 he is test firing on youtube !!! :cool: :cool: :cool:

ask byron about his 588...

John ( the guy that built your tranny ) sold his dragster and got a 68 pro street Camaro , he just got a 672 crate motor and is going to build it . I can't wait to see that thing :eek:

6(six)72 ???? holy chit. You must mean 5(five)72...

I'm jealous of that motor, especially considering I'm use to 160 h.p. in a 6,000 lb. truck.... 78Buford runs a 460 that desktop dyno'd (take that number for what it's worth, but usually at least within reason) at 340 hp, 525 ft-lbs. He can hit 5,000 rpm at will with a 19:1 overall ratio in a 6,000 lb. truck with 42's, so that's crazy wheelspeed.

Talking about the Blown 502 on the test stand? That one's mine, it's in my boat. 502, B&M 420, Worked heads. Hell of a motor. ITLLFLI has a crazy 540 in his boat, and a 588 just in case.:eek:

Tim?

Yep,

hillbilly.

Redneck. Go build a truggy.

Can I borrow the plans you used on this build?:D :beers:

Leave truggy out of this!

My bad ... he said he was going to end up with 672 ish :eek:

I watched all of the videos on youtube of you guys and I have to say Damn ... you burned more fuel in those video clips then I burn on a long weekend at the lake :beers: but then again .... if I didn't have the kiddies ..........

That was a fun weekend, this years Lake Cumberland Poker run. Byrons brother and I have the same boat. Both blown 502's, 25 Powerplay's. Pretty rare boat, only two I/O's that I know of. Maybe only a handfull of them built. Blew the outdrive the last day heading back to the dock so that weekend turned into an expensive one. That was the "break-in" weekend for my motor so we were "taking it easy":beers:
Carwash's 454 is a very stout motor, should be plenty of Tq for him.

I will be at the Poker run this year ( if they have it :mad: ) My nieghbor has a new Baja 232 . We're just going to party not race .

plans? ha... he says plans.

pater, post a pic of your previous abortion on wheels so he can see what a "truggy" really looks like... or even better, a pic of the one we wheeled with at harlan, that had the hood for the roof...

this one?

thank you Rob. Now Tim... That is a truggy.

The hood is under the left tire...

ah i thought he repurposed the hood for the roof... i see it now.

Dude, I knew I shouldn't have gotten rid of my old 78 cherokee. It could have looked almost that good

Cherokee, hell im pretty sure a few years ago we ran into him it still had a ford hood and grill and that piece on top is the roof fastened 2 the cage. im almost positive its a 78 ford full size:confused:
