My dad has a built carbed 360 in his 88 dodge and he runs 13.23 in the 1/4 mile.
His is 2wd though.

 

Those are some nice #'s for sure, whats the fuel mileage on it?

I'll post up what I run when I get there, but being 4wd it would think it'll do low 14 or high 13 if i'm lucky

 

Took the LS1 Ram to the track, turns out its about 1.7 seconds faster the the 440 was.

Must not of had that 440 tuned right.LOL what heads was you runnin on it?
My friends 77 4x4 1 ton runs in the low 12's but it's got alot of work done to it. And yeah the gas mileage really sucks.

Cool truck and build, even with the stinkin cheby motor. You got to expect alittle harassment!! TRADER!!!!!

 

sweet. did you beet that mustang?

 

Its all good, at least I used a dodge body right? Not s stinking chebby frame..LOL

The 440 had the 452 heads on it I think with the factory truck cam( small at .420 lift) and the compression came in at 8:1

I installed the Edelbrock heads, bumped compression with the smaller chamber to 8:4, but it wasn't enough, I almost built that motor and I know it could have been badass, but the tranny was starting to give me issues and the np 203 was a complete pile.(200lbs transfer case)

I figure even if I put a 3200 stall and any decent off the shelf cam( most likely a 228r cam with .588 lift) I should see a high 12 and still get the 17 mpgs on the highway.

This was a 98 LS1, one of the first design for the heads, the later factory heads flow near another 30 cfm with a smaller chamber that would also add 20ish hp without sacrificing mileage. I have also been debating 4.56 gears, many claim no loss in mileage if speeds are kept 65-70 on the highway, city mpgs sometimes goes up due to the load that is taken off the engine during stop light take-offs

 

My 14.14 to his 14.3...

 

that is what i thought i saw on the signs. it must have been pretty embarrassing for the guy in the mustang. being beat by an old box on wheels

 

I talked to the kid, seemed cool, I knew it was going to be close, but also I really did think he was going to run me down as well.

I think later that night he ran a 13.8, so the car had it in it, he just needed to launch it better.

 

I have a 5.3l engine i want to put on my 91 dodge ramcharger...Were did u get the motor mounts bracket for the engine to fit for ur swap
