Default New video

Not much for tech, but after actually getting to drive my project I thought I would share my latest video, (for the FTE guys it's the same one I posted over there),
I did not get much on video, shortly after this shot I broke an axle & I'm waiting for parts,
Here is a link to the video,

Thanks for the kind words guys,

A short run down on the engine,

offset ground 429 truck crank 3.77 stroke
old style SVO A-heads
trickfow A460 tunnel ram modified for blown application
Little field 14-71 hi helix, delta plate blower, & Enderle bird catcher,

The truck is a 49 ford on a 79 bronco frame, 4 link front & rear with king 14" coil over shocks, Dana 70 diffs front and rear,
A-1 built C6 & converter and a home made drop box,

As of right now I do not have any other videos, but if my new axles show up this week I'll get more this weekend,
Here is a link to some pictures that I took throughout the builup,

Default What did...

What did you use to run the rad in the rear? Aluminum tubing? And also what rad did you use? Thanks Patrick...

I used 2" aluiminum tubing, the radiator was going to be a summit aluminum unit or a chevy, but after deciding to go blown alky, I just hooked the two aluminum tubes togeather, the water now just makes a loop down the frame & back, the whole system holds 5 gal, the highest I've seen the temp after about 15 min, of driving was 150-160,
The reason for running the chev radiator was so the inlet & out lets woud be on the correct side since the rad. was in there backwards,
