Interesting. What kind of deal did you get? Cheaper than summit?

through in a case of royal purple oil with filter

No vacuum pump?

Here's whats changed since dyno'ing it last.

Ported heads and manifold
Jomar carb spacer
custom ground cam
Kicked out Moroso box oilpan
External Barnes oilpump
4 vane moroso vacuum pump
Custom built 2.25x4 headers that fit the truck chassis

I've been super busy lately but hoping to re-dyno it and get it back in the truck this spring

Any updates on this???

Im getting really close...the truck is almost ready for the engine and new powerglide. Only thing left on it is wiring...engine is a lmost done just finishing up plumbing the new pump and accesories.
Hoping to have it on the roads by the end of June.

Heres a few photos of the new front suspension setup..




And the oilpan modification.

Looking good man now that it's all painted up. I'm curious to see how much weight you dropped up front. Has to be 300lbs or so. Going with a glide this time around?

Yeah, hoping we took 300 off the nose.
The more I thought about it the more the glide makes sense...decided to just bite the bullet and switch now.
The 1.80 1st gear should really help get it off the line..

Yeah it definitely will especially if you decide to hit this motor with a little spray. I think your problem hooking before was due to the rear suspension set up mostly. It should work great now. Was your last c6 std ratio or the e4od gear set?

I think the soft sidewalls were more the prob than the suspension. I did have the e4od planet in it though.
Since I plan on racing it with Dot tires and 1000hp I feel the pg is a wise choice.
It should really calm things down ALOT!
