Re: Danny Boy is BAACK! w/ '55 Big Window
Hi Dan ,
Now that you’ve had your truck on the road for a while tell us about your driving impressions .
But first list your spec’s , engine , trans , rear end ratio tire size .
Have you floored it from a dead stop ? If so what was the result ?
The reason I ask is so many here are building hot engines without regard to traction factored in .
In my humble opinion if you’re building a driver start with a stock 5.3 or 6.0 and you’ll be surprised at the performance . These engines came from vehicles that weigh 1500 to 3000 # more then these pick ups . That weight loss translates into h.p. and torque .
So Dan tell us about your experiences .
