Blue_71 · 12-31-2002, 09:29 PM

chevy2racr · 01-01-2003, 03:58 PM

Like the aluminum paint on steel heads :-D did that to our 85 Z/28, fakes ya out! my motor for the step is gonna be LIME GREEN, or HOT ROD GREEN if you go by what plastikote says..

Blue_71 · 01-01-2003, 09:25 PM

i had to do the aluminum thing, there 305 heads i had to make em at least look good

brabra-- heres a pic of the truck, only one i have of it sinse i repainted it red and white, but this is a "in process" pic

Crank · 01-01-2003, 09:50 PM

Kick butt!!! Hope you are having fun with the 2wd now. I wish I had that much land to work on stuff.

Longhorn Man · 01-02-2003, 12:20 AM

Hey bloo...the 305 heads are probably gonna choke up that engine. What are you putting on it for a carb?
I had 305 heads on my old 350...had to run 93 octain, and on a real hot(TX) day I would have to add a little booster in the tank, that was with the timing set at like 4 degrees.

Blue_71 · 01-02-2003, 12:29 AM

quadrajet, i figured i would probably have to run 93 octane though... i put dished pistons in it too, so that should hold it around 9.5:1 i think... it probably wont run good but it'll sound good, lunati 00012 cam, 246/246 duration and 515/515 lift

Longhorn Man · 01-02-2003, 01:29 AM

Did you install stiffer valve springs? 500 lift is about all a stock spring can handle.

**Yukon Jack** · 01-02-2003, 03:50 PM

Your truck is going to be very happy!
