On the road again

Post by Brokenarrow »

I finally got the '68 back together, (hopefully right this time :oops: ) So now I've rebuilt the carb and the engine, and been through the transmission, now I need to change the third member. This thing has some serious torque and she's way too longlegged with the 2.75 gears. I also swapped the '68 grill for one from a "69 ranger. This truck now has a fresh motor & tranny, rebuilt carb, all new front-end bushings & rag-joint, new tires, shocks, brakes, battery, & starter. It runs and drives really good, shifts a little hard though. Probably didn't really need that B&M shift kit :hmm:

Cam is .484/510 lift, 270/280 duration, pushing Crane hi-intensity antipump-up lifters

Yea, the cam is pretty mild. She pulls pretty hard though from idle to about 4,500rpm. I'm guessing the HP @ around 330 or so :hmm: .
