You made the correct choice

I love how casually we suddenly had 600hp going in - an LS felt like enough initially.

Love it !

Agree, lots of great projects on the go on YouTube at the moment as well.

Circa 600 hp in a light ish vehicle with a live axle; that will be interesting....
My 350 bhp mk 1 escort tries to kill me if I gas it in anything but a straight line on a dry road.
Certainly gets the heart pumping,
Would I change it? Nope never.
Good luck.

Very, very nice...

Something like this is on my bucket list. I would probably go for a newer square body 60/70's long bed truck with a full tube chassis and an LSA/LS9 crate engine. Maybe 4wd as well...

I really like what Fasterproms are going with their project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZyZ2fzPox8

it's worth reflecting upon the ingenious characteristics of that Ford small block

• relatively light in weight

• compact in size

• single camshaft

• no significant mass mounted up high

• much torque available at lower RPMs

[AMGSee55]

Epic.....Look forward to reading more - and what a killer engine!!

[ducnick]

I’m very keen on doing a truck. A guy I work with has a similar vintage Chevy 3100 rat truck with a 8.2L big block motor and open pipes.

you should have sold the porker to me... have an itch for a 911 that wont go away....

anyway so truckasurous versus hell raiser track test is definitely on, when we finish it

We are not a million miles away from you on the other side of the a3 - well to be correct - badhand is there and i am probably in-between you.

we should PM and have a pint - i guess we are both going to have IVA stuff to deal with and might be worth pulling our collective knowledge

[aka_kerrly]

Awesome!!
There really ought to be plenty more threads like this on PH.

I also love the idea of what appears to be a old truck that hides double wishbones, coilovers, big brakes and mental power
