Dyno Run On My New Small Block Chevy Motor

383 cubic inches
400 hp @ 5,500 rpm
410 ft/lb torque @ 4,000 rpm

$10,000 build cost includes everything from the air clean to the oil pan including all pumps, brackets, pulleys, starter, alternator, fuel pump - the whole deal. All we'll have to do is drop it in and hook up a few electrical lines, the fuel line, and the radiator and fire it up!

Here's a picture of the truck it's going in:

Nice. Great #s. Whats the turkey video after the dyno run? Lmao

That's me fishing my turkeys out of the brush. They free range around the property and sometimes wind up in the neighbor's yards or in the street. So every so often I have to go fetch em and bring em back.

Oh. I see. It loads another video. Lol. Got done watching yours and then i hear..."here turkey, where are you turkey" hahahaha

Yeah when I embedded the video it included the playlist it was in so it just continued on to the next one. I eliminated that just now.

You live in the woods like i do. Love it. Would not trade it for anything. Woke up the other morning to a goat chasing my Chihuahuas around the property.....pricless.

Oh man, what a sweet sound. That truck is gonna haul a**.

Heck yeah it is! I don't care at all about top end speed. I just want to accelerate hard! So I'm going to gear it lower (go to a higher gear number) so it accelerates even better than it would with the stock gear ratio. Between this new motor and the quicker gears that thing is going to rip your head off your shoulders when you punch it!

Ha Ha!! That's what I'm talking about. Too cool.

Absolutely! I plan on getting much further into the woods soon. I want like 100 acres on a hilltop in the middle of nowhere. And land around here is cheap! Undeveloped woodland goes for like $1,000/acre. That's not a misprint - one thousand bucks an acre. Where in life can you get more for $1,000 than an acre of woods, ya know? You couldn't take the family on a weekend camping trip to the amusement park for much less than that.

So a big redneck Chevy truck and 100 acres on a hilltop. But maaaan does it snow up here! I'm not just in the Buffalo region, which in itself is famous for snow. I'm talking about up in the hills to the South and East of Buffalo that gets blasted with double or triple the snow they get in the city and Northtowns. Locally they call us the snowbelt region, as if the city gets relatively lighter snow. I guess you could say if the snow is up to your waist in the city it's probably up to your shoulders at my house. We don't really measure it in inches. We measure it in feet.

But the point of that is man am I curious about how this truck is gonna handle in the snow once it's finished. The engine isn't ideal for it, but it'll run awesome once it's warmed up. But being geared faster with the little bit bigger tires and big engine is gonna be interesting. Oh, and I have special steel-studded snow tires for it. They're offroad mud tires with like 100 tiny steel studs for sticking into icy roads. Nothing else will stick to ice except sharp, steel studs.

It's gonna be interesting!

I can't stop listening to that engine running. I had it playing in the stereo on the ride home at full volume over and over again. I couldn't stop laughing. I can't wait to get that thing in the truck!
