Took the truck to Climax - 07/15/12 11:28 PM
Well I got the truck running sans the hood. Figured I'd take the truck to Climax and gas it up. (Climax, Minnesota, 5 miles up the road from me.)
I don't have a cross bar on the rollbar hoop so I didn't do anything crazy with it yet. I brought it up to about 30-40mph and got into the throttle part way. All I can say is WOWWW!!!!!!!!! It tryed to pick the drives side front tire up. I've got a new set of M/T P315/60R-15's on the back, they never spun, just dead hooked. This thing is a Monster on the street.
Still have a few little gremlins that I have to sort out, clearance the drivers side valve cover, a couple of wiring issues, anti-roll bar needs to go in yet, and the crossbar on the main hoop, have to adjust carb linkage as the carbs are idling to high.
I almost forgot how much fun it was to drive it as it's been over a year since it's been on the road. The 528 made it pretty quick, this 605 just made it insane. Dave
