ok ok ok heres the 33

heres the 33 Ford pu w/ Hemi Toyota 3TC engine that I am building

more of the 33 ............

Cool. Those engines are bulletproof. I had several Toyotas with them, and they were just getting broken in at 160,000 miles.

Keep us posted.

thanks guys, the engine started life in a fancy lil Corola that was 220hp now it will be takin apart when I hit Cheney and I have Webber for it, gonna mill the head, mild cam etc and if ANYONE has just one Lakes style header they want to donate I am not against accepting it hehehe, the car its from got 36mpg and was 2800#s, so in a 1500# truck w/ 2.73 gears BIG tires and a 5 speed it might get a lil better milage. BTW I only have around $300 in the whole build so far and LOTS of time, bought the Cab 15 years ago for $100 sittin in a ditch on a big hill, guy also had a sectioned 40 ford coupe, should have bought that also. If I only knew then what I know now

Jim,
When I was in high school back in the 60's a guy here had a Superbird & used to drive it around all the time & I'd see him crusin' around from time to time. One day my best friend & I were pullin' up on the freeway & he came up behind us, got on it... & flew by us like we were standin' still & disappeared down the road. It was one of the most incredible things I ever saw. He's probably in the skull orchard by now because that thing was *wicked* fast!!!

BoB

Trip,

I had one willed to me but when my friend John passed away many years ago his son contested the will and got ALL the cars John had willed to certain friends, Kinda sad there was a Hemi Superbird ( wrecked in 1972) the 440 4bbl/ 4 gear Yellow Bird (was willed to me), 70 Hemi Cuda, 29 Ford roadster pickup w/ 392 Hemi tri-power, 40 Ford coupe w/ 6 strom 97 Nailhead and Hydromatic, 65 IH pickup w/ Perkins Diesel, 51 Henry J straight axle w/ 57 J-2 in it and a bunch more
