      From: snag_one@msn.com               Micheal Trew told me about this group while we were conversing via       email about my truck motor build . The motor is a 305 "H" motor in a       1986 GMC 1500 LWB pickup with a TH700R4 and 2.73:1 gears .        The motor mods include a .030"over bore with flattop pistons       (anticipate about 9.5:1 or so c/r) , stage 3 cam (ELGIN E-922-P)       small/long tube headers , Edelbrock Performer EPS manifold with a Holley       750 CFM vac secondary carb . I have the HP heads with 55 cc chambers .       This motor is rated 165 HP stock with 9:1 compression . I'm hoping that       between rippin' off all the smog gear and the mods I'll make around 250       HP - though that may be optimistic . The exhaust system will be 2" dual       with Thrush Hush mufflers . I don't need or want to advertise .        The other major change will be replacing those 2.73 gears with a set       of 3.42's . We live on the southern edge of the Ozark Plateau (north       central Arkansas) and there a 2 things the roads here ain't . That's       straight and flat ! Great roads for bikes (ask me about my Harleys) but       them flatland gears ain't cuttin' it .        The only other change I plan - for now - is a shift kit in the trans       . I need to do some research on that one , I don't usually mess with       automatic transmissions .        BTW , A/T's are about the only thing I don't usually work on , I       maintain all our cars and bikes . And I have a pretty complete hobby       machine shop ...              --        Snag on the       travelin' laptop              --       This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software.       https://www.avast.com/antivirus              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
