The hulk

BigdaddyDupree 10-24-2009 07:13 PM

killa.

Matts94Z28 10-24-2009 07:15 PM

There is no way thats going in a race car with a polished timing cover.

BigdaddyDupree 10-24-2009 07:34 PM

its no race car. street car

LXtasy 10-24-2009 07:43 PM

Show car! I will need something. That green is like a 3rd stage of nitrous

BigdaddyDupree 10-24-2009 07:44 PM

i agree. you will need something

LXtasy 10-24-2009 07:45 PM

1/2 track?

BigdaddyDupree 10-24-2009 07:47 PM

at least. should run mid 4's to the 60 foot. heres my setup

4.8
powerglide with 5900 stall converter
shifting at 6000
5.67 gear in the back
4 stages
rev limiter at 6100
truck weighs 4200 pounds

LXtasy 10-24-2009 07:49 PM

Can you prove the weight? This board is critical on that subject.

BTW, I think you need more gear

BigdaddyDupree 10-24-2009 07:51 PM

yes i bet it is as close to the true weight as the race blazer lol

BigdaddyDupree 10-25-2009 01:21 AM

its a budget build. gonna be slow.

BAD BOB 10-25-2009 09:03 AM

WOW looks slow too. nice Robert's custom oil pan you got there

Illusions 10-25-2009 09:07 AM

Oh that is so cute!

jmd 10-25-2009 09:25 AM

looks good

05Saleen 10-25-2009 10:27 AM

The motor looks great.........Get rid of that Carb and get you a Holley or Barry Grant speed demon and you will be set! Edelbrock carbs are nothing buy headach's.

BigdaddyDupree 10-25-2009 11:48 AM

that carb is what we pulled off my truck. ray built a holley for it and we stuck it on my old motor to make sure it was working properly. and sr. when im done i wat for us to compare receipts and see who went faster for less. LS FTW. get gapped

73camaro 10-25-2009 02:35 PM

Sweet lookin tall dual plane.

BigdaddyDupree 10-25-2009 03:18 PM

its an edelbrock performer.

wade w 10-25-2009 03:55 PM

Oil leaks should be easy to spot.

91notch 10-25-2009 04:01 PM

man that thing is bright. Its good to see it all together.

BigdaddyDupree 10-25-2009 04:10 PM

oil leaks? not on mine i cant stand a leak.

clubracergt1 10-26-2009 07:01 AM

I don't know what you are worried about, Hal. Dupree knows his truck will be a pig, so he painted the engine green-just like a turtle.

blkscls1z 10-26-2009 12:15 PM

Looks similar to the Mopar FJ5 green from back in the 70's. Did Ray convince you to use that color Dupree?

We have a stock 97 LT1 4L60e with 3.42's in a fragile 10 bolt spraying a 75 shot. Oh annd I will not discuss weight because weight doesn't matter when I'm slow anyway. :) Only weight reduction we did was remove the back seat. that was to mount the bottle. we run 10's n/a and 9's with a shot of gas in the 1/8th.

We have the motor pulled currently to get the tranny fixed because it was slipping from I guess too many times trying to get it faster. the tranny couldn't take the tq. And we have to replace an oil pan with one we got at the dyno day that doesn't have a hole in it.

Oh I did install a Bravada guage cluster that goes to 120mph and will be getting the intake powdercoated. maybe that will make it go faster. :roll:

BigdaddyDupree 10-26-2009 03:59 PM

i like how you try and act like everyones dumb, we all know the blazer is getting head cam and converter. lol

LXtasy 10-26-2009 04:06 PM

i know what the black truck weighed on the same inaccurate scales i always use. and that was with the all cast headed iron block. you need to have it at the track for svt day like we will. i want to get gapped by that truck. i got a bottle if u wanna use it. i know i will.

BigdaddyDupree 10-26-2009 04:09 PM

the truck wont be done by then because i still gotta get my tahoe fixed this week that set me back a little bit. we can try something when i get done though. im in no hurry. i took the dash out a few minutes ago and the wiring made my head hurt. im taking a break now
