made up a torque strap from 2 engine to trans braces, used some shock rubber bushings/cup washer on a bolt thru the frame..ugly but cheap and effective.



Are you gonna side step the clutch at 5k?




not with a 318


I am truckless..

what??? that is the only way to get a 318 to do anything.

the muff are nice. whole new sound for it, and the whiplash roller cam gives them a nice burble gurgle 750 rpm idle.

the torque strap on the engine along with the traction bars are just what it needed to day.

I think it was on sender?? but I only read the one negative coment IIRC.

that looks like the same tank I gots..does it have the sender? drain plug?

remember..I moved mine back further so you may want to mock yours up good before you decide.



my tank came with everything including bolts. the sender was api brand or something but it looks like nice quality. the tank does have the drain plug. i also opted for the 20 gallon over the 22 galon so it gives me a little more room on top i hope. im gonna put my cap in the bed floor

Hey Mike, looks like you made some good progress since my visit. Cool. Hammer down, Buddy! Love your 440 truck. That was a fun cruise around town.

Missing my truck. Wish I could have got the 440 put in it and all I wanted to do, but it's all gone now. Actually, the only thing I have left is the dash cluster bezel panel thing, and a pair of the 6 x 9 gm style door mirrors with the inner door brackests. Maybe my wife will let me hang them on the wall as souveniers.

thanks for the kudos guys. lot of work to go fishing.

the traction bars are done and work great.

got the boat cleaned up a rewired the lights, just need to add a pigtail to the truck harness next.

drop shackles dropped it just enuff I don't have to lift the trailer now.

dirt boat ramps should be no trouble now.
