As I said, Here are the engine rebuild pictures. Alot of work was done at night so some of the pics look "interesting". We tore the engine down because of a fucking air cleaner... I bought a new air cleaner and it had a nut on the bottom shaft that I didnt see. Well from the vibration, the nut loosened itself and fell into the intake down in #6 cylinder. The piston was dimpled but no major damage was done and the beast lives.

This is an inline 6 engine so the hp numbers aren't much to look at but the TQ being the mexican engine is off the chart. Stock numbers are 165hp and 390ft/lb's. With the work thats done to it now its probably 165hp at the wheels and 400ft/lbs at the wheels. It will yank the gates off hell and beg for more.

Specs on the engine- 1971 Hipo Slant 6. Gasket matched head and intake. 340 race valves installed in the head during the rebuild. 1.7 Harland Sharp Roller shaft rockers. 340 PAC valve springs. All PermatorQ gaskets. Spider aluminum intake. 7780 One barrel carb. The original was the 500 2 barrel holley, but the 7780 flow just as much fuel and pushes just as much air as the 500. Its just one bigass jet. Lol!

Future (way down the road) plans are a LARGE rear mount turbo setup or a fully built crate 360 Mag, and pretty much to just have a really unique truck that you dont see everyday.





These ^ are from when we first tore the engine down to yank it.

These are the rebuild after the short block was back in the truck.
