that truck is hot

Travstang · August 12th, 2009, 08:09 PM

is the B303 a pretty popular cam for the 302?

Travstang · August 13th, 2009, 10:02 PM

i took the truck up to the scales at the CO-OP and it weighs 3580lbs - 3720lbs. and thats with about a 1/4 tank of gas, and without me in the truck. actually weighs alot less than what i though

The weight of your truck without you in it is pretty worthless from a performance stand point. Remember it can't go down the track without you.

140 lbs, what are you a jockey? (lol)

ME TOO!!
can I post hoar here...this is my 65

Silverfoxbody · August 14th, 2009, 08:53 AM

if you look hard enough...I have a FOX decal accross my back window as well....hmm....but I built my truck from the ground up in 96.
I am amazed you say it is as light at that....my stock 1965 suspension handles like a Cadillac.

I just got a 95 300I6 to swap in...going nostalgia.

Travstang · August 15th, 2009, 02:54 AM

well no that first weight i said up their was because the scale was 140lbs off. so i went up there today when they were open and got the weight with me in/and out of the truck. 3840lbs w/o me. but thats with a 400 big block, long bed, and a C6 tranny. it should get a little lighter when i got to s SB, 4 speed (or 5) and shortbed right?

originally i thought it weighed about 4000-4500 but i wasnt far off
haha Struck in 155lbs! lol

Silver... that is a really really nice truck man lol

Silverfoxbody · August 16th, 2009, 02:21 PM

well dang....I have a 240 and a t18 trans with long bed, so I weight less for sure.

Travstang · August 18th, 2009, 09:59 PM

found a 5.0 out of a 87 LX for 250 bucks, its sounds clean but ill know more when i go look at it.

i also thought about the 351 H.O. that the early lightnings had, any good/special things about those?

97GT4.6 · August 18th, 2009, 10:11 PM

Get a 351 in that bad boy man.. and it looks great!

Travstang · August 21st, 2009, 02:12 PM

if i can get my hands on one, oh yea! but my dads giving me the 302 out of the 69 mustang we've got. it ran a 12.27 when the car wasnt finished but when it was all done it ran like a 12.97, 13.04... so not a bad small block to start out with

superbean · August 21st, 2009, 08:29 PM

You will never be happy with a 302 cubic inch motor in that heavy of a truck..

A stroked windsor would be your best best for $ vs parts availibility vs power

Travstang · August 22nd, 2009, 02:40 AM

yea, that and i thought about a 390. but ive got a motor i just want to get the truck to the stage to where all i have to do is drop the built motor in and go

but i also thought about putting on a single or twin turbo later on down the line
