Some more engine specs... The engine started life out as a (I think it was a 67) Cobra Jet 429=same block as the 460 just a 4 bolt instead of the 2 bolt main. Then it had a 460 crank, and finally the custom 472. The cam grind was a 680 lift by 324intake 312 exhaust.
Holley 950
RPM airgap manifold
JE forged pistons she was at 11.5:1
Eagle H-beam rods
Full roller setup
Believe it or not this sucker got 14 MPG on the highway (apparently the roller setup helps that out?)
4340 Forged crank
Melling oil pump
I paid $500 for the engine recipe from a local builder and she ended up the way she was. I just called the guy who bought it (sold it to him nearly a year ago) he said the tail shaft seal went on the tranny and the alternator grounded out somehow shorted itself out... Other than that she's running fine. Fun truck, a few near death experiences, a few smoked mustangs and corvettes a lot of imports to just wave and laugh at. I guess I really posted up this thread because I was getting a bit emotional about not having the truck anymore, just wanted to remind myself what it was like I guess. Loved that truck.
In the pictures, the very bottom picture was taken right before she was completed. The top three were after a year offroading, you can see where rocks and dirt being flung off the tires had messed up the body panels and original paint. Everywhere this truck went people looked and looked hard. Going through the local mall people would stop walking and just listen to it idle by. Thanks guys for hearing my sob story about how I miss my old truck.
P.S. those are 18 ton shackles on there. Those were the chebby recovery hooks. haha.
