Re: Project 69 Blown Gasser!

Did some work on my glove box door. Welded the holes up, blasted and powder coated wrinkle black & chrome. I think its a huge improvement!

Re: Project 69 Blown Gasser!

you are doing a killer job on this. I like the sanded ribs better. The glove box is amazing. This is really giving me the fever to get started on my 59 gasser truck.

Re: Project 69 Blown Gasser!

Great progress! How hard was the entire floor to do? I've thought it would be nerv wracking getting the cab back square before welding it up.

Re: Project 69 Blown Gasser!

I would do it again verses welding in patches. Tons of spot welds to drill out. I found that the new floor pretty much dictates the squareness of the cab.

Re: Project 69 Blown Gasser!

Great looking build ! just thought I would give my opinion on a couple of things if that's okay? I see you are underdriving your blower but I think your going to have fuel press. problems with the mechanical pump also if you decide to do a gear change , I would suggest no lower than a 3:55. I have a 540 making 5 psi of boost with a turbo 400 its in a 3800 # car with 31-18.5 slicks , I had 4:11 and changed to 3:73 and it still is a challenge to hook on the street. Blown big blocks make a lot of low end power! Just my opinion

I believe it is at about 10% under driven, I thought that might be a good range for a street truck. The fuel pump is rated at 110gph free flow with 6.5-8.0 psi.. These edelbrocks I hear like no more than 5psi? I plan on installing a AFR gauge to be on the safe side. I'm running the gears that came in the truck ( 3:73 ) but I added a posi unit. I'm sure it will be a tire fryer. Should be an experience seeing how I have never driven a blown anything before.

Re: Project 69 Blown Gasser!

Brad - looks great! Looks like some high quality workmanship going on there.

Whereabouts in Michigan are you located (roughly)?

Sidebar: regarding that SPID label - you may want to spellcheck that before printing a bunch up.

You better hope it never hooks up good if your rear axle is all stock. Cause I have a funny feeling it won't last all that long.
