next years race engine

[YZEATER]

since we had so much fun this year with mud racing, were going to build another truck to race next year. here is the engine for in it. gonna go BBC this time.

theres a few mods i need to do to it yet. still gotta figure out the setup on the truck also, but mainly going to make a copy of my current race truck.

Looks like fun! How big is it?

 

[YZEATER]

it's big, i'll have to let ya know next year. trying to keep it a secret.

Is that your motor, or are you going build one like it?

Edit-nevermind, I take you bought it. Do you know what kind of headers those are?

 

[YZEATER]

It's mine, 80% paid For. Those are Fab shop headers.

 

[JDNobodi]

I thought those header looked similar to mine.

Is that why you posted a picture on the internet?

We want to know this year!

What about head and cam specs...?

I see it has head studs, but they aren't big chiefs. I am guessing high compression race gas motor? Is it a tall deck? Is it a 468, 489, 496, 502, 509, 540, 555? You know you want to tell us...

Pics of the truck?

What kind of mud racing; shallow drag race or deep bog or..?

Got any video of this past season?

 

[YZEATER]

i don't want to say the exact cubic inches. it is high compression, regular block.

folken- pm me if you want to know more.

my current race truck is in my sig. i have lots of videos posted on youtube from the 4 different places we raced this year.

next years truck will similar to my current truck, except it will be on a very big diet. we still have to do some thinking on it.

we have bog tracks around here, no mud drags. althought the one place we race turned into a drag track twice this year. my current truck loves the bog pits.

So you're gonna clean the motor up like that after each event, right?

 

[YZEATER]

Aaaaaa. No. My 383 is still dirty from the beginning of October.

Looks like fun! Fast track mud racing is big around here. Most of the guys I know that were competitive aren't any more. The engines kept getting bigger and BIGGER and the blowers did the same thing! Do a search for Bithlo in YouTube. These guys are hanging the front tires in the air with purpose build tube chassis race trucks.

i've seen lots of video's from florida and the hill n hole racing. nothing like that here.

 

[folkenheath]

I'm thinking you are going to be able to shift to 2nd gear now...

 

[YZEATER]

i already hit 2nd every time in the pit and i was in 3rd sometimes with the couple times i ran 235/86/16 tires.

Entertaining video! I didn't know about Lisbon..
Have you hit yankee lake?

 

[YZEATER]

yankee lake is if you want to get drunk and totally destroy your truck. i go to competition mud races.
