Photo's of todays progress.

She's a runnin'....but I still need to do some tuning. Timing just isn't perfect yet, but she will spin the duallies quite easily!

Motors running a little warm, but not too hot. Like I said, more tuning to do!

And yes Dust...a video would make you a believer wouldn't it! LOL!

I need that intake on my car hauler. I can do without the carb though. I have a new Thermoquad 850 ready to go on it when I get an intake. And the holley that's on it hits the trash can.

Hey DW...I still have my old t-quad sitting on the floor in my garage back in California! LOL! I was wondering what t' do with it.....

any takers?

It will be probably next year before I can afford to fly back there and drive all the rest of my tools/stuff here to Texas, so by then it will probably have PLENTY of cobwebs in it!

Sheesh.....I've even got a 318 out of a 65 Sport Fury sitting on the floor in that storage garage that I get to tinker with once it's all down here.

But for here and now, I'm just glad to have the BigWhiteTruck running again.
If I can get the tuning 'bugs' out of it in the next couple weeks, I WILL take it to San Antonio and run the 1/4 mile.

I will try to muster up a video here in the next couple days....at least one here on the local 'back road'.

More to be revealed.

DW,evry post I read you are pushing the TQuad. I wonder why we don't see any at the strip?

Ron,I like the 750 (3310) too. Is that a 361,383,400,413,426W,or 440? And are you running an evacuation pump? I see that hose coming from the driver's side breather going toward something..? They are worth the power.
Sorry,I haven't been on the site much in the last few months,I've been building the 440 that's in my 65 Swepty. It looks good,what year?74?

I've seen plenty. Guess your not looking too hard. Bad thing is most are hooked on holley's like boyz are hooked on cheap chebby's. Dime a dozen and a lot of people have them. Don't mean either one is any good though, just going by the numbers. Put it on the car and tune it right and you'll toss the holley.

Well I am in the West-where everything happens first. Then you Southern boys catch on twenty years later.
Just kidding DW. I have an old timer buddy and he likes 'em too,but he don't push 'em like you. It's like you own stock in 'em(if they were still manufactured).

I don't know about that now. Someone here that has traveled to race tracks all around tells me out west they don't build 'em all out to there potential and they are pretty slow compared to southern race cars.

I wished I had some stock in them too. Great carsb when prepped for your app with very little work to tune them. Don't need a couple hundered dollars in jets,cams,squirters and all the other crap you need to prep a holley.

OK OK fellas....back to yer' corners!

Shaun, the engine is a 440 bored @ 0.060. That makes it a 452~ Inside is a Comp cam, stock crank/rods and Keith Black pistons. I know someone will ask me what cam...so, I'll bend back in my chair and look at the paperwork to avoid the questions later. Its a PN 21-224-4. There, that's the best I can say about that! LOL!

Heads are stock 906's with a port and polish job I did here at home. Headers are good old Doug Thorleys pumpin smoke into Flowmasters.

I did run the t-quad on there for a month or two after the rebuild last year, but I know so little about them, or all carbs for that matter, I just went and slapped on the Holley. It's working pretty good, so I can't complain...it is exactly as it came right out of the box. Holley 3310S

Like I mentioned dwc, I still have that old Thermoquad back in storage in Cali, so when I do get it down here to Texas, I'll put the mention up in the air here on MPchat and I'm sure I'll find a home for it somewhere!

I checked timing again tonight. Something is still not quite right, so I'm gonna cruize it to work tomorrow and have a look with one of the fellas. I'm sure I'll get the bugs worked out soon.

I'm just glad she's back on the road and I finally had good reason to wash the bird crap off of it tonight!

More to come, I assure you!

Default Cool!

Ron,I like it! The Truck and engine bay look good! You didn't say what year it is(72-75 I assume). I have had a 73 and 74 Power Wagon(the 74 looked like the Simon & Simon Truck,primer red,white spoke wheels-the spitten image!). Now I have a 75 D-200 that is my work/daily driver truck-stock granny 4 speed/318 2 BBL and a 65 Swepty Built 440/727 Chebby,Ford and Import eater-wiping it's ars afterwards gets messy(too much junk food!!!)
I'll post some pics soon-just haven't got around to it.
Shaun

My truck is 1975. It's a W300-Shortbed-Flatbed-Dually. Whewww! Too many words for just one good ole' BigWhiteTruck! (That's what my lil' 3 year old daughter calls it!)

I drove it to work today and it did just fine. I was being conservative, if there is such a thing in this truck. It's hard not to spin the tires!
Engine stayed pretty cool (medium on the stock temp guage). Weather here was a little cooler today (Thank God!!!!) so that probably helped.

I will eventually get it to my buddies place for a total 'performance' tuning, of which I cannot completley do myself....but hey, we are all learning as we go right!

I just can't get enough of this thing...I love workin' in my Dodge!

As mentioned before, I will try to get a short video link on here soon. I just need to find an extra set of hands to do the shoot while I'm pressin' the peddle!

Cheers, Fellas!
