Yeah but it get a summertime high of what? 45F there? It actually gets hot here.
Lol we were at 98 that day. It gets Africa hot here too. Been in the 100s a few times in the last month.
Very interesting build. It's very similar to my 454/400 stepside saga.
Cool truck.
Cool truck.
Anything?

There has been progress. Nothing I'm posting about quite yet. Right now expendable car moneies is 75% chevelle- 25% stepside. But I am picking away at some things.
Good nuff for now.

Posting here for my own forgetful self.
Anyone paying attention probably seen me post this engine in my chevelle thread and a PAD thread. Well it belongs to this truck. Not the chevelle. That was just a joke.
The specs on it as follows.
Mark 4 BBC, 489.
.30 over wiseco forged, side skirt coated pistons. 10:3 to 1 compression.
Scat I beam rods, stock length.
Scat 4.25 stroker crank.
King bearings.
ARP bolts throughout the whole engine.
Dart Pro 1 24 degree, 310CC rectangle port heads.
Custom ground comp solid roller cam. Lift specs are .680 intake/exhaust, advertised 294 Intake, 302 Exhaust, and 255/264 @50
On a 110.
Comp solid bushed lifters.
Comp full roller rockers.
Hooker super comp 2 inch, 3.5 collectors headers.
Frostbite electric water pump.
Holly MFPI, with a holley dominator ECU.
Holley TB.
Volcano nitrous Insert spraying a 200 shot.
Volcano nitrous solenoids.
AFR TB spacer.
Ansen valve covers.
Milodon drag racing pan with kickout and full windage tray.
Melling 77 oil pump.
Milodon oil pump baffles.
Milodon crank scraper.
Intake/ head porting, oil pump and oil passage porting.
Holley coil on plug ignition, efi connection cam sync, oil pump drive. Holley crank trigger.
(Coils will be hidden somewhere, can't mess up those fancy 396 vavle covers
)
Milodon timing cover.
Howards billet cam and crank gear, double roller timing chain set.
1 piece oil pan gasket.
Still sorting a few of the last items for the build such as fuel system and some new exhaust. Oil catch cans, front accessories and brackets. And other miscellaneous crap I'm probably forgetting. Still lots of paint, powdercoating and aluminum anodizing to do yet.
Still some more saving to be had. But 99.9% sure this will be slotted in front of a new TKX. And a 9 inch.
Goal is for 650ish hp na, and hoping a 200 shot pushes me up past 850.
That's my 3 year update. See you in 2024.

Last note, plan is to hopefully enter it in some sort drag week or something like that. Just a the daily driver class which has a 10.70 or 10.80 breakout. (I don't recall off the top of my head. )
I think the truck will be capable of 10.50s.
But I have small goal of pushing it to a 9.99 if I could. I have no plans for the necessary safety equipment for regular trips to the 9s. But if I could sneak off a 9.99 on a cool fall day before I got booted I wouldn't be disappointed.

That will be the most challenging part. There might be links involved someday. It will never be tubbed. Just not my vision for this truck.
But the dominator does have traction control I can set up if needed.
3" piece of square tubing.
Cut it to fit, put sleeves through where the bolts go, and a pipe bung on the end.
Make the bolt holes line up with the bed mount bolts closest to the axle. Then just use longer bolts to bolt it down through the frame, and rubber washers underneath to not Mar the bed. Weld a ring on top for easy lifting in and out.
Adjust weight with sand in it as needed.
Shaving weight shaves seconds, but adding it in the right spot to get mucho traction may do more good than harm. Plus fully removable for show days.
Just an idea

Nitrous will be fully programmable. It's not like your dumping the clutch and going for a 850 horse sleigh ride. Just a 650 horse one.
Then you have the nitrous come on in a progressive shot over the course of a few seconds. Or whatever you need. The nitrous will be fully controlled by the ecu. No red buttons to push.
Any chassis tuning I do will be after I sort the engine out some.
