Title: 11 Second 53 Chevy Pickup....Daily driver!!!!
Post by: themoose on December 13, 2013, 08:41:55 PM: While working in the auto business I met a guy by the name of Jeff Lynch. He was a field engineer and instructor for GM and had a passion for fast cars. I hadn't heard from him in years until I received an email from a good friend of his who happened to visit our site and asked if I would like to watch a YouTube video of Jeff's 53 Chevy pickup making a run down the track at the New England Dragway.
Looks like he's running a little juice and it really gets down the track....Take a look here...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAHtlYKnYpA&feature=youtube_gdata_player (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAHtlYKnYpA&feature=youtube_gdata_player)

I'll send him an invite.Maybe we can get him to join the site.

Post by: Cool53 on December 15, 2013, 03:47:00 PM: I built this 350 in 1995, been a really good engine. Building a 362 for next year with more compression and long rods. I always run solid lifter but usually flat tappet, the new engine will be a solid roller, but still a daily driver. I have to keep it at 11.5 at the track or slower or I'll get thrown out because I have no roll bar and don't want to put one in.
The tuck he C4 suspension all around, a 4 L80E with an Optishift controller. I am going back to a 4L60E for the spring because I lost .2 from my 60' times with the 2.48 first gear. I build a lot of custom transmissions, most overdrive and most electronic. Like most of you I have grown very fond of the truck and drive it very where as long as it isn't et out. Look forward to sharing with all of you.
