Here's a couple of pics that Ryan posted over on Moparts. It's going on the break-in stand tomorrow at ShadyDell and then on the SF901 for power pulls on Monday. Chris is gonna go shoot some video for me, I'll post that up as soon as I get it. :)

The valve covers and fuel rails will get polished, and there still needs to be a coolant crossover on the passenger side of the intake, but other than that, this is pretty much how it's gonna look. I might do some powdercoating later, but right now I just want to get it in the truck and on the road.

Specs:

59* R3 (non-siamese)
Ohio Crank 4.10"
6.20" rod
Custom N20 JE's & Hellfire rings (4.060" bore)
11.2:1 compression
Dakota custom oil pan
CSR Reverse flow Magnum water pump
Custom Bullet Hyd Roller.... 262/270 @ .050" 108 LSA, .602"/.585"
Crane retrofit rollers
W5's flow 320/220 (ported someplace else years ago)
ICH 360-3R manifold
T&D 1.65/1.5 rockers

Alright, bringing my thread back from the dead...again :jester:

Truck is finally in the garage at the new house, ready for the 727 to go in. Pulled the exhaust today and gave it a couple coats of VHT header paint. Put in WC hangers a couple weeks ago.

727 and floor shifter should be in the truck within the next week, then just need to tie up a few small items and she'll be on the road. That'll give me plenty of time to work out any bugs before Carlisle. :eek:nethumb:

It was the crank sensor. There's no mount for it on my R3 block (the new Magnum R3s have it, but mine is an older block), so I had to make a mount for it, and it just wasn't stable enough to maintain a good signal. Even if I had gotten it sorted out, I don't think I ever would have trusted it, lose the crank signal and you're dead in the water. Now with the 727 going in, I don't really need the pcm. Putting in an Autometer dash with one of Josh's bezels. Eventually I might rip the whole harness out and put in a painless wiring setup, but for now I'll leave it, just want to get it running and on the road.
Sweet ass truck, 425ci has to be a blast to drive around but, carbs make baby Jesus cry lol :).
Actually, the 425 is gone. :( I'm getting ready to put her back to stock, should have her back on the road in the next week or two. She's gonna be my dd again for a while. Shit happens and you move on. There will be another project in the future. :eek:nethumb:
what happen to the 425?
Yeah where it go? I give you.............$3.87 for it.......that's all I got in my pocket lol
