    it had a early 80's 285 v8. large chamber small valve 70's smog heads, "RV cam", torker II single plane intake, and a 750 holley that i replaced with a 500cfm eddy i had sittign around.

    made maybe 120hp and used more oil then gas on a good day. had to change plugs every 40 miles do them getting so badly oil fowled

    and i traded my perfectly running diplomat with a slightly warmed 318 for that because i wanted a truck

          Bryan - Were these done in reverse? As fans of the movie know, 'Mater's "special" skills were in performance operation in reverse.

            started getting the tank dropped progress was little do to it being 9-* with 89* humidity.


            i am to the point where i just need to support the tank and undo the straps and lower it out of there. interestingly enough rust wise truck is not bad as all it;s just the cab and rockers.

            also wile i am at it i will finally level the front end by cranking the front torsion bolts
