Possible big news in the works for my truck....

Ive always wanted to do this since i found out my engine has a very low compression ratio, and i think with a creative mix of parts i may be able to make it happen.

I have some e-mails out to some people right now, and if all goes as planned, i will post 3 stages of pictures, and eventually a video.

The pics will come as
1a.All the parts i think i need.
1b.All the parts i thought i needed, plus the parts i didnt know i needed (damnit always happens to me)
2.A nice , in progress type picture of the 4 hour transformation.
3.The finished product.

Then will be the testing video.

Shawn, if you read my post on the 'other' site...please dont tell anyone or ill have to :lookupkick: then do a quick :banana: after i :bootyshake: from the top of the tower at the last race of the year..hahaha.

I remember a few comments here, but you just aren't cute enough for me to be stalking around the intraweb.

I'm guessing you plan to alter the atsmospheric conditons. I don't know how you plan to run below sea level, but I think 4 hours is just the begining of your frustration. You gonna stay carbed?

I don't know how you plan to run below sea level
Maybe he's moving to southern CA, where I-8 is below sea level.

Actually, isn't Death Valley below sea level? Bassdude got the picture!

I think he plans to induce extra atmsophere in the intake, thus the need for lower compression. Otherwise it would detonate its-self to death.

Detonation is not as big a problem on giggle gas, and he just offered Shawn most of a Nitrous set-up...which rules that out.

That thing looks so much better in person, sitting in my house.

I have about another $500-$700 to spend on it now, have to get spacer plates to make the cleveland intake manifold fit the 400 ($280) and have to setup a custom magnetic crank triggered ignition setup using coil packs and alot of other crappp...(like driving the oil pump with no distributor)

I have never seen one of those blowers for a 351 Cleveland, so when i saw it i did a search on the net, found one in australia for 3000 and saw where one sold in NJ for almost 3000...

Soo, 600 wasnt to hard to justify

Hmmm... My thought would be to sell for profit on that!!! If they're really that hard to come by...
