I agree.

Back in June I bought a flaming '84:

It isn't the prettiest thing, but the drive train is sound, and that was more important than beauty.

Way to go! Keep these old trucks alive!

Very decent numbers, especially for normally aspirated. My .030 over 327 dyno results were a little over 1/2 of yours and at 6500 rpm I called it quits, too scary to go any higher with stock rods. I'll be 8500 is crazy loud!

I hear what your saying. My connecting rods are "small journal" H-beams 6.25 long, around $700 for 8 rods. With the 14.8 compression Wiesco pistons and Large cylinder heads it needs to rev over 8000 rpm to make good power.

This engine combo is a little experiment myself and Tony Mamo from AFR have worked out. Kind of a second design from his first engine combo. If you want I can send you the link to that article that got all this started. it was in "Chevy Hi-performance Magazine"

The prostick stuff is cool. I see them run at Mason Dixon from time to time. Nice rides!

Awesome car & truck man! Is the car a '66? My FIL used to have a green one very similar.

Nice setup! We drag race, too. We took the truck/camper/trailer/car out this weekend and had a blast. It rained like crazy friday night, and then sprinkled off and on saturday, but we got our passes in. Campers rock!

I still think that is the best body style Chev. has built.

Fred,

The seat is Original 1983 , no recover

Yes $300 with a bad knocking engine, previous owner had just installed
the following,

*New Radiator and Hoses
*New Brake Booster and Master Cylinder
*New Front Brake Calipers and Pads
*New Clutch and Flywheel
*New Windshield

It was purchased new by his Grandfather in 1982, Grandson also used it as a daily driver.
After the engine went bad , his wife said enough and made him purchase a new truck.
Old truck sat for 6 months. I stumbled on it as a "Cragslist" find, he wanted $700. I told him no way , so after 2 days he called and said come and get it.

Over the next few months I waited for some deals on GM crate engines. JEGS had a black Friday deal with FREE shipping.

Dually rear (Drum to Drum) was another Craigslist find for $300.
(Seller even delivered it from New York to my driveway for $50)

Hauled the camper for 6 months until the conversion, did well but with the Dually conversion makes it perfect for me.

Not bad for about $2900 total investment, considering the cost of a NEW Dually.

If anyone wonders why I like these old trucks here is my other pickup
