1953 Chevrolet 3100 Hot Rod Pickup 327 V-8 on 2040-cars
Draper, Utah, United States
1953 Chevrolet 3100 Street Rod runs and drives excellent,
very quick. The body is mostly stock with a few
mods, shaved handles and bear jaw latches installed for safety and looks. New glass all the way around and, custom
headliner and seat installed. Custom leather
wrapped steering wheel Stewart Warner and Mallory gauges installed. All of the trim has been chromed for that
cool old street rod look. Custom door
handles inside and door panels very simple but looks great. Polished Stainless steel firewall looks
really sharp sets off the engine. The
rear sheet metal and wood is a new kit from Mar K with new steel rear fenders
as well. The wood is Oak with a dark Walnut
stain and polished stainless steel strips looks excellent when shines off the
bedsides. The roll pan under the
tailgate is custom with louvers and LED 53 Pontiac taillights. Also the custom stainless steel fuel tank had
been relocated under the bed for safety.
The filler neck has been left in the original location and blocked for
old-school looks. The grille is a
reproduction chrome unit that really pops and also has custom LED park/turn
signals. I also have a hood available
that has a peak added but is not finished that goes with the truck, but I feel
the truck looks pretty mean without it. The
engine is a 1965 Corvette block numbers FOII4HH, 3782870 with 2.02 double hump
heads. There have been many
modifications to the engine balanced high compression pistons, roller rockers
all the old school go fast goodies.
Weiand tunnel ram intake with two 650 CFM Carter AFB’s. Sounds very good at the local cruise nights
with the header plugs open. The
transmission is a TCI prepped TH350 with a manual automatic valve body and 3000
stall TCI torque converter. Also there
is a B&M star shifter with slapper setting.
The rear end is a GM 10 bolt that has been rebuilt with new bearings,
new auburn limited slip carrier and new 3:73 Richmond gears. In total the truck only has 79 miles on it
since it has been put together. The truck handles and stops great
with the 67’ Camaro sub-frame with discs up front and drums in the rear. The front end has had all of the bushings and
ball-joints replaced and new coils have been installed as well. This truck is a great driver with plenty of
power to get you into trouble and upset the neighbors if you want to. This truck just needs some TLC and little finishing touches just selling it because other projects have taken priority. |

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
