updated photos of 350 V8 for my Trac

[michael b]

Just took some photos a few hours ago to update where we are on the engine. As you can tell it is getting closer

Mechanic estimates 350hp & 350tq so I guess it's gonna be a 350-350-350:lol:

Man, I cant wait till this thing is done!

It is currently on the engine stand so we can fire it up soon & break the new cam & everything in before we drop it into the Trac.

Holy cow!! That is going to feel so nice when you drop the peddle!!

Oh sweetness.....that thing there is one beautiful masterpiece! Bro, that Trac is gonna move! Come to Louisiana and visit me, I wanna play with the Tonka truck for a few minutes! Nice! I hope it goes as planned! God bless! -DD ST

Sweet motor.

I dropped one in a Vega years ago.

 

[FlipTrac_511]

Cool. Go Generation-1 Sport Trac!!!

 

[Jeff C]

Looks good. That last pic looks like it's a picture in a frame.



Oh, Tonka, you want an aftermarket cam? My roommate pulled a Lunati cam out of his garage that he was gonna put in his truck before it was stolen. It's a Lunati VooDoo, and the part number is 60101LK I believe. Supposed to be one of the most aggressive street cams for trucks.

I think it's fair to say that you won't need a tuner after this...

 

[Gavin Allan]

There's NO WAY that that thing will fit in a Trac...

Big truck, Big engine, Compensating for? NOTHING, I swear! :lol::lol::lol:

 

[Wes Davis]

That would look nice in my boat!!! Can you post a video with sound when you get it running on the stand?

 

[Bill ray]

Tonka,



You have a sick Trac, that is the look somewhat I am looking for...insane probably one of the nicest I have seen 2 date...

Sweeeeeeeet. I like the breather. I had one like that on my Vega.

 

[WXMotorSports DecalsPartsAccs]

Nice!!! I think you should bump the HP to about 400-450! Nice aggressive cam should do wonders to that engine.

 

[Travis Munday]

Looks good, for a Chevy motor. What size carb is that on there? I'm wondering if you'll have to install shorty/block huggers headers to get it to work...



You'll not get an additional 50HP from a cam. Do extensive head work along with a big cam and you'll be close. But then again, you'll loose low-end torque, and with Tonka's set-up, he needs all the low-end he can get.

Man I wish I would have used a 350.. I just could not bare the backlash from the FORD community... That rear sump pan would make my life much easie... lol

 

[Travis Munday]

Couldn't find a rear sump 302? Really? There are conversion kits. I was looking for a front sump 302 and couldn't hardly find one...well, a carb'd one at least.

 

[23Ballistic randyvanaken]

Most all are double sump.. and not really any rear sump out there with a low low front. The oil pump on the 302 sets right in the front. I also checked into the dry sump pan, but that's more of a pain.

How much is it all costing you? If I ever need a new engine, might as well move up in the world.
