Update August 19, 2005. As of today, I have a low mile 360 Magnum short block on my engine stand. Pics should be coming soon. If I follow the build right, this mill will produce about 660 flywheel horsepower with no help from a supercharger, turbo(s), or nitrous. The goal is to make this thing a killer on the strip, street, and road cource. A home grown R/T if you will. I'd sell the current v6 in it when the change comes...but whats the fun in that? I actully plan on building a tubular buggy around that for the hell of it. On the next page are pictures of my 1966 D100. I have big plans for that thing too. Unfortunetly, thanks to the Wisconsin rust, the only good parts on that are the engine, transmission, frame rails and rear axle. But when I'm done, the only thing that will look like a 66' D100 will be the "D100" badging, front facia and sweptside bed (which is mostly universal from 65 1/2 to 71, give or take reverse lights.) Whats stoping me with continuing with the 360 is money. I was lucky enough to find a 360 short block for $50. And later found out on my own time and inspection that its a low miles engine (meassured cylinder bore, checked remaining gaskets, bearing wear, also the cylinder walls didn't have the tell-tale worn ridge like my high mile v6 has.) So don't get jelouse, I'm not made of money, just got lucky. LOL.
Now, the updated pics
