Old Rig?

Dr. Emmett Brown may have said it best.... "When this baby hits 88 miles an hour you're gonna see some serious Sheeyat!"

 

Im sorry I was reading this old thread and thought some people here could use a good laugh!!

 

you gotta be kidding

 

Who needs PDI... just drop a 454 in your rig and forget all that emission garbage. This was a good laugh. My favorite part was "I have experience fabing go karts"

 

Torque ???

I don't need no stinking torque !!!!!!

Ignorance is bliss.

 

Wow, this is priceless! Thank you!

 

One Questoin WHY ????????

 

Well....... to the uninitiated....... WHY NOT !!!!

 

Actually there was a V8 427 big block gas engine used in the late 60's to 70's Chev/GMC 5 tons, tandem and single axle tractors and straight trucks. When I first started out I drove a 3 ton straight truck with a 366 cu in version of this engine and graduated to a 427 in a single axle tractor doing peddle loads around town and intra-city. It was a "porcupine" motor just like the 396/427/454 but used a different block, pison/rod/crank necessitating a 1/4 inch higher deck height. Actually, most of the early supercharged BB Chevy engines used the truck block. If I remember correctly Smokey Yunicks 7/8 scale Chevelle got busted out of the Daytona 500 for using the truck block.

IH had a 549 cu in gas engine and Ford a 534.

They weren't fast but yeah, they hauled a loaded 48ft tri-axle along right smart.
