Re: Green Beater

so here is the verdict. it runs lol

seriously though it runs pretty well for what it is, exhaust note is great but a little loud since i used headers to 21/2 inch pipes and then thrush welded 2 chamber mufflers turned out in front of rear tires.

the cam has a nice lope to it and truck motors along nicely at 55 which is where i spend most of my time. only have about 100 miles on it but the little hick ups and odd moments are being worked out with careful tuning and small adjustments. found out the gauges in my truck are out of whack. oil was erratically reading no /low pressure then good(half gauge or better) when ever it wanted. temp gauge would be reading 230 in about 2 minutes after starting. hooked up a set of manual gauges i had and have steady 25 psi oil pressure at idle warmed up and truck maintains 190-200 temp even with driving and extended idling afterwards.
