my new tow rig

[84socal]

well i got rid of old blue to pay some bills  and came up on this cheap   with a blown bottom end on a 454
so i picked it up was told all the parts were there so i figured id just find a block     well when i started lookin fo all the stuff i noticed all the bolst were missin and a few key parts for the engine were not to be found  i got over it  cause i really didnt want to deal with smogs any ways   my buddy had a 6.2 diesel with  banks turbo kit on it   for a good deal  so   i sold a bike i had   and bought the motor  and here it  is so far

  I think you should keep the single stack out the hood.

oh   tust me its crossed my mind  ill don something different witht the exhaust     im just not sure what yet

[mogman]

Good idea with the tow rig. After our game of follow the leader you will need some thing big to get the beer with

[84socal]

dont worry    ill just need it to take all my beer home with me after u deliver it to the lakebed  i dont know about u if u know this but im not exactly slow out there
ill pick an easy racecourse for ya   lakebed to lower big johnson   to claw  and back to the lakebed

Justin you might as well just run the KOH 09 race course... Jason Sherer did it in under 5 hrs... I'll keep the beer on ice while your out..

Mogs are not known for there speed ( 45mph and 60 rwhp ) its all about the style points

what's the latest on this? as soon as i fix my computer i'll post up my $1400 set-up which includes crew cab dually, cabover camper, and tandem axle trailer. you need a cabover for that, and if you're patient you'll find the right deal on craigslist.

its moved from my  buddys shop to my driveway all i need to do is empty the tanks get some diesel in them run new fuel line  run the exhaust   wire it up  pick up my radiator steering pump and driverside battery holder   and it should be good to go


im gonna really get working on this after newyears i wanna have it done by koh     ifit really has the gears in the rear axle i think it does   i might have to change them out as well   
if it is 4.56  with that diesle and the sm465  ill be pegged in 4th at 55mph     but i could probly pull a house      fawking thing has a gvw of 10,000 lbs

tell me about it. i have the sm465 and 4.56's with just a gasser big block. fully loaded, it takes about 5 seconds to get to 4th gear from a dead stop, and it feels like there should be 2 or 3 more gears to grab. and the granny low never gets used since i don't spend much time pulling stumps. luckily i have a friend willing to trade me his 4.10 rear end for mine. the labor swapping it will be worth the gas it saves on the next hammers trip.

[84socal]

serious huh    and since u have that gasser   it ll rev till what 4500     ill have maybe half that but   my gas milage will be awesome     but i was thinking maybe lower  like 3.73s   for mine


man all this talk about make me want to go out side and work on it right now
