Default Craigs List

I saw this truck at the PDX show last month..as the saying goes "you couldn't build it for that" probably holds true in this case as well

Hmm...I'm going to go out on a limb and say this probably doesn't get very good gas mileage.

But yeah, there's NO way to build that for that price. Trust me, I've spent that much on vehicles and saw NOTHING like that.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

That's odd, I know plenty of Blown SBC that don't have those problems Some are street cars with 871-1071 blowers on them

I know also, and many is overdriven too, maeby he ran it with too high rpm or had too heavy pistons and rods. With overdriven set up, it will like to run higher and higher. I have blowed up one sbm with 6-71 turning it up to 15% over and 9000rpm, bearings didnt last that couple runs. I'm happy that the crank and the block did.

About twin blower setup, cant say anything good performance vice, if the are not sync they just push air around intake. Just put one big one or one small twin screw and start enjoying it.
