250 six + SM420 vs. 4,800lb truck (0-60...kinda)

[66Submarine]

I know you all like video clips and thought some of you might get a laugh (or something) out of this one.

'65 C30 250 inline six + SM420 acceleration test...

From the description (why type all that crap again?):

(Uploaded in 1080p.)

Just a clip for fun, it's predictably lame (obviously).

Tach is obviously not working, the speedo is off, my shifting kind of sucked (I also didn't really want to try to jam it into gear as hard/fast as I could to begin with), etc.

Driveline='71 250 inline six, SM420 4 speed truck trans, and a 4.57:1 Eaton HO72 rear end with 235/85r16 tires.

The truck itself has a curb weight of something like 4,800lbs with me in it.

Should do much better with the warmed-over 454 I'm going to put in it...

Sounds good...I say slap 5 pounds of boost on that 6 banger.

No doubt a little forced induction would be beneficial!

Looking at the truck in the guys picture I think I see what he means. lol He needs 10 pounds of boost!
