Question: Rail Dragster or 4WD Pickup

[Redbone]

Trucks are a lot easier to get to the track.

30 years old in May

Really?!? I remember 30.......kinda.

 

[Brayden]

Not like I'll be driving it there with a filled block :spit:

It's a toss up for me really.. I've got access to a 4x4 2001 standard cab..... Hmm?

 

[JoshH]

Start a poll. My vote goes to the rail

SO whats a block going to set one back $$$ ?

 

[Redbone]

I was thinking more along the lines of managing a trailer for a rail vs. Trailer for a truck. Damned practical details.

Here's a picture of one of our 7.0L Race Blocks..

looks pretty cool brayden, I like it.

you say "one of them", how many have you made?

 

[Brayden]

Man.. Ben one day you are swingin' from my nuts and the next you're ragging on me..

Do you ovulate ? If so I'll just try to remember your cycle starting today. :thumb:

I have one complete 454 Race Block assembled ready to go and Sold

The next is going in my project truck.. for which this thread is titled.

They are available, but I need a 4 week lead time for delivery and deposit up front. This isn't something that you stock on the shelf.. It's custom if you couldn't tell.

Remember the 454 uses a SoCal stroker kit. The big bore block is a 427 or 7.0L block.

My point exactly.. I don't know how the hell to take your posts..



If you haven't realized it yet.. When you post "Umm.. will it ever be available?" That kind of makes me mad :hello:

PM with pricing questions... They are priced depending on the build details, half fill, full fill, mains, girdle, etc etc..

I can tell you that a 454 short block with the Socal Stroker kit (including pistons) with cam installed, fire ringed, billet mains, and girdle is over $20k.

 

[Brayden]

Can somebody make this a Poll for me?

2WD Truck
4WD Truck
Rail Dragster

and

Fuel Only
or
Drugs

With the SoCal stroker crank and max bore you possibly could have a 7.7 Liter or 472 CID Block.. but I haven't gone that far out with one yet. It's going to get thin, but the ductile iron sleeves are more stable than the stock wall and will hold roughly 10,000 psi cylinder pressure at the current bore size. I'd be comfortable thinning it out more for a drag motor or dedicated sled puller.

We're using SoCal Billet mains and our Laser Cut .750" girdle with custom ARP Studs.

Take a look at the sleeve's here and their thickness.

Damn!!!

RCSB 2wd, tubbed and 4 linked with a fat set of slicks. Removeable doghouse/front clip for easy wrenching - fiberglass if possible. Twins with the occassional spray.

Or use the ZR2 body that will never get finished and make a pro street S-10.

 

[S Phinney]

Why not a back half truck that owns all the records? Twins all the way with fuel only!

 

[JoshH]

Damn Brayden, you still have that ZR2, and it isn't finished? I was reading about that thing on a ZR2 forum years ago when you first started on it.

 

[03demax]

I would say put it in a 4x4 pulling truck and show the cumminGs crowd what the Duramax is all about!! I would like to see you in PA in the Full Pull Productions Pro Street class.

You said my LLY would never run again, but she's all converted over to LBZ and ready for the motor.. The good motor I got had to be machined :rofl::rofl::rofl:

The ZR2 is next.. Customers come first
