I bought this truck with a few things in mind. Have one sweet looking truck, and make it mean as hell.
My #1 mod was a motor swap.
This is my 350 CI ZZ4 crate motor. Factory, it is rated at 355 hp and 405 lb ft of TQ.
Right now, the motor is basically stock. It has a set of hedman shorty headers, and some 2.5" true duals with flowmaster 40 series mufflers. A holley 650 double pumper controls fuel delivery. A 3" K&N aids air intake, and ASP underdrives frees up a few ponies. It is keep cool via the stock 4.3 radiator, Mr. gasket 160 thermo, and a flexolite dual 12" electric fan set up. It will keep it at 180 degree's in the 90+ degree summer heat.
Update: New carb main body. Turns my 650 into a 750. No choke/horn, and adjustable air bleeds. Big difference. Can really tell above 3500. She pulls much much harder now.
New headers. :rock: They're sanderson, coated, shorties 1 3/4" primaries w/3" collectors. Got a hell of a deal on them from another member of BL.
Heres the piping from those shorties. 3" collectors to 2.5" true duals, to a Summit X pipe. From the X, back to flowy 40 series, and turndowns. Pretty decent IMO, considering I installed the whole thing myself in the garage.
Whats this?? Why's that shorty turned upside down?? Could this be a little peak at a forced induction system yet to come? hehehe Stay tuned. Homegrown turbo kit might be coming soon.
Another update: Hopefully doing topend of the motor soon. Going with one of the motor combo AFR claims is dyno proven.
Few things I picked up today at the Super Summit show and sale.
New Edelbrock RPM Air gap intake.
New Comp cam and matching roller rockers. XE 282 hydraulic roller cam
Got bored on the way home last night. :)
Cam and Intake swap. The head I wanted would take almost 2 months to get here, so Im passing on new heads this season.
Pic of few of my timeslips. Need better lauch, as apparent from my lower 1/8 mile and bad 60 ft.
