I plan on it.
Pm sent

 

BBC first fire up last night Too bad i work stupidarse hours.I didn't get to be there. Hopefully this weekend. We've almost got the truck ready for it. Need to get it in so the guy that is going to build the headers can get started on that.

 

I bet that thing sounds down right awesome.

 

Seems like a pretty solid plan, my only other suggestion is to check for exhaust leaks especially near your o2 sensors. Dump in some seafoam into the gastank too

 

What does the EGR delete do for these trucks? I have only really seen it done on 6.0s and 6.4s

 

It sounds a bit tamer, from last year. Cam is a bit smaller. Ir was a cheap off the shielf cam. Going to run it with that cam for a few months. And then bump up to a roller cam.

This year its got alot more compression,alot better heads with porting,,all new fuel system,Domintor 1050cfm carb.... Should be a nice piece. (I hope so,lol)

I'm going to try to get some video of it this weekend.




Here is the engine last year. Has a decent solid cam..small dome pistions and some crappy heads.

 

Is that a 289 ? JK
I like pretty much all the SBC's and some BBC just not the 454's.
Loved the old 396's much more. Can't ever go wrong with the ole 5.7L

 

Update:
Let me tell you what Melba Toast is packin' right here, alright.
We got 430 lockers outback, 255 triple pumpers, All aluminum intake, bored over 20, 10 to 1 pop-up pistons, turbo-jet 750 horsepower. We're talkin' some ......muscle

 

Honestly, not much. They just help flow a bit. And the tube is prone to cracking out

 

And the fact it keeps the intake manifold cleaner without exhaust gasses and stuff going back into it. Same sort of idea with a pcv catch can.
