He wishes he had the motor out of my drag car in it. It is a 69 Roadrunner with a 500 cube inch motor. It make about 820hp with the factory 6 pack carbs still on it. This is his motor that he has built with my help. It is built more for pulling. It should have a lot of torq.
Is it going to be camo?
Also, any details on that orange truck in the picture of the lineup?

And it is 3 on the tree stright drive.
The orange truck is a 77 Power Wagon clubcab, factory A/C truck. It has 31" tires on it with no lift. The motor is a factory 360 except it has an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Edelbrock 750 carb, and 2.25 dual exhaust and Thurst Turbo mufflers, Dana 44 front end, Chy. 9.25 rear end with factory 3.55 gears.
My sons truck is a 77 Dodge M880 and is going to stay camo like it is in the picture with some touch ups. It is still the military paint job on it and that is how he wants it. It has a Dana 44 front and Dana 60 rear with 4.10 gears and 35" tires. His motor should be between 350-400 hp with 490-510 torq. It a Comps Cam 265 Dual Energy cam, an Edelbrock dual quad intake, 2 Edelbrock 600 cfm carbs, motor is bored 30 over and crank is turned 10/10. The motor is from a 78 Fury Police Intercepter. Trans is a 727 with a shift kit and a 1800-2200 stall torq convertor. Now to blow your minds my son is only 15. We (he) have been working on this (his) truck for about 2 years now. The truck was give to him with no running gear. His uncle gave him the wheels and tires cause he sold his truck and had nothing for them to go on anymore. My father-in-law sold him the motor and trans for $200. I gave/helped him with the trans case. The motor is mostly his and my father-in-laws doings/build. It has a 4" sys. lift and a 2" body lift. He wants to put 38" tires on it when he runs the 35" tires off. I told him as long as he was buying the tires which he is I did not cure what size he put on it.
Anyone want to know anything else about one of my trucks, just ask.

Comrade General, thank you, I like your truck. I reminds me of one that was sold out from under me. It was a 92, RAM 150, red and white, with a 4" susp. lift and a 3" body lift. It had 35x15.50 15's Super Swamper Boogers on it with wheels that looked about like yours but, were 15x12. Not sure what make they were for sure. It had a 318, auto trans with a shift kit, 4.56 gears with limited slip front and back, and dual Flowmaster exhaust with no cats. One of my friends had it and I loved to drive it. Man that was a fun truck to drive. I never know of it ever getting stuck and we pulled a many of people out with it, then went through the hole that we just pulled them out of.
