I'm guessing that one electric fan is just temporary? surely you'd need more than that to cool that motor. badass truck nonetheless.

[DesselleRacing]

Yes, it's just a temporary one. Thanks for the compliment. We put alot of hard work into it and it turned out pretty nice. We still have to finish the custom grill this year.

@DesselleRacing Im just wondering, not an insult, but that motor sounds prety mellow. It just seems like the specs on the cam arent that radical. Im not tryi ng to insult you, just wondering, why all that money in that sweet truck, but not much in the motor! Its a very good looking truck though, and for what it is, the motor does sound good!

[DesselleRacing]

Actually this video was uploaded before a rebuild. The guy I got the motor from lied about the cam size. During the rebuild, we stuffed a Comp Cam 294S .595 lift cam in it. We're still in the trial and error stage with the motor, changing one thing at a time until we get it where we want it. Thinking about a roller cam next and some better heads. Thanks for the compliments.

Have you weighed the truck if so how much without you

[DesselleRacing]

No, we have'nt got a chance to weigh it yet. As soon as we do, I'll post it.

Thanks

Any chance of getting an outline of that dash insert for gauges?

[stevenbellll]

Why did you shave everything off a racetruck? I mean it looks great, and rumbles, but thats alot of bodywork done to risk damage on a dragstrip. BUT.....I think its awesome. And i like the way you have the exaust. I give ya a thumbs up all day.

@DesselleRacing if its just run on the track one fan be fine,the way the truck looks it dont run on the street,

[detweiler11]

like the truck.. im put that comp cam 595/595 in my motor with an rpm intake..write now i have a 561/561 solid comp cam with a stealth intake and at sea level it runs 11.30 at 122 with 92 oct. i have 4:56 gears with a 315/60-15 drag radial. the motor makes 511 hp. comp cam comp. said by going with the 595 cam it should make another 60 to 70 hp out of the motor. my truck wieght is 3000 pounds all steel.

Thats badass!!! i wish my s10 sounded like that

[peacemaker50cal]

@DesselleRacing Man, i hate when people do that, lie about specs and all! well, a roller cam in my opinion is the best way to go, i have one in my 540 bbc. Its a 4-7 swap and lift is around .852/.876. i have it set up for achol, its not done yet, but geting there! Once again, sweet truck and good luck with the motor! Its gonna be a beast!!!
