Seriously when you get to hopping up engines in something like this you have to get concerned the drive line will handle it .
There was a popular conversion for the little CJ2A Jeeps using a Chevy 283 .You in effect increased the HP by a factor of three going from 65 to around 190 .Oh my they...
An old story about a 454 Chevy ,since it was mentioned .
My buddy who is or was somewhat of a speed demon was somewhat annoyed with his Chevy 1/2 ton with a 305 pulling a big boat .Evidently he thought it should scoot like his Corvette pulling a 28 foot boat .
Now the danged truck was only...
---and I believe by fall or winter they will be cheaper .All those "cowboy limosines " will get traded for puddle jumpers .Most that are fairly new are cherries too .The only thing they've ever hauled were a set of golf clubs .
On the other hand a mudrunner or hot rod truck is a fun project...
Not a derail but you can't talk about mud-runner trucks without mentioning the fact they do get stuck,I mean really stuck .
A big giant snatch strap works pretty good even better than a tire .You change all that potential energy to kinetic when you reach the end of the elasticity in those...
Oh Lawdy if you mention mud and trucks in the same sentence it reminds me of how many times I've been mired in .I've stuck anything that is possible to stick including a few dozers .
Enjoy yourself but mud and Al Smith don't fit in the same sentence .;)
