first 390 build

Don't sweat it Riley. But when you're asking questions on things like engine rpm's - then the question grows into other topics because to get accurate rpm readings involves the whole package if you will. Wheel sizes and Outside diameter / final drive ratio and of course tranmission all work together.

Sometimes we aren't very "gracefull" when asking for information as we assume the Original Poster knows what we mean when we type a reply.

We all have a new and hopefully better picture of what you're working on. Keep at it, we're looking to hear how the motor works out! If you want - flip me a pic or two and I'll put'em up for you.

Thanks I can understand you guys prolly get a lot of BS and trolls, and I will have a few pictures uploaded tommarow I got my computer running again so I don't have to use this phone, I got 4 pics I will be uploading and I'm sorry If I didn't give enough Info hardly I honestly didnt know so much was involed and I was kina curious how the subject changed but again my apologies

No apologies needed. You'll hear it again and again 'round here. Combination / combination / combination... It's all about making the "package" work well together.

Overall, "we" are a pretty laidback group. Once in awhile it may become all to serious, when that happens, just walk away and take a break and remember "it's just car or truck.." and the only one that needs to find happiness is the one who's paying the bills.

Now hurry up with the d_ _n pictures! :eek::LOL::LOL::p:D

Well I finally built the engine and built it up I went with the 275deh, stock stall,
And its AWSOME, I LOVE IT, it will smoke the tires from a dead stop, I can punch it at 35 mph and it will chirp then all through the gears I am extremely happy I never got a chance to upload the pictures, I will soon, I had it dynoed at the shop 448.1 hp 491.4tq at the flywheel it was worth every penny.

Thanks for all your guys help
Ran 13.9 in quarter mile track
102 octane fuel

And really the only flaw is the brakes are a bit soft, 12.5 inches of vacuum

I also did go with the Internal radiator transmission cooler
It runs around 190-200 degrees
The engine runs aroun 170-180 as of now because its been cold

Sounds like you got the best of both worlds, which is what you wanted right?

But without pictures..... it's all a dream!?!?!?!

Thanks for closing the loop and letting us know what you decided to do with the truck. Hope you'll stick around and be a part of the action here, now that you've run the gauntlet with the engine build, and looking forward to seeing some pictorial evidence that this truck is real!! ;):D:D:D

things don't add up here-dates, sizes, specs,dyno num,bers
