1986 Gmc 1500 - Rust-free, Short Box, Supercharged 400 Small Block on 2040-cars
Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
|
1986 GMC 1500 short box – Super charged! I’ve owned this truck for about 4 years. The engine had already been swapped to a 400 short block. I have done no work to the bottom end, but have installed all of the goodies on top: high pressure fuel pump and regulator, custom high pressure carburetor by Quick Fuel Technology – Super Street Series, XDI electronic ignition, and Vortech super charger – centrifugal style. It’s currently running six pounds of boost. The system is upgradeable to 17 pounds of boost. I have the rev limiter set at 5000 rpm – because no work has been done on the bottom end.
Additionally, the front suspension has been replaced and limited slip installed in the rear. The paint has recently been cut and buffed to bring out the shine of the original paint. Alpine stereo with equalizer and subwoofer is installed. Everything else is original. This is an Oregon truck so there is no rust!
She runs beautifully! Start-up could be helped with an automatic choke and a shift kit installed. Dyno-tune would be nice, too. I had a tire slashed and haven’t replaced it yet. You can see in the pictures two mag rims on the truck and two off as well as two original rims on the truck and two off without tires mounted. The truck has a cover.
The only mechanical problem I know of is a slow electrical drain on the battery. (When it’s sitting I just take one lead off the battery to keep it charged.) Body is original and in great shape – rust free. The grill was replaced with the Chevy bowtie and it is cracked near the left headlight.
Was planning to install a high performance, rebuilt 327 which has Crane cams roller camshaft, Eagle rods and crankshaft, King engine bearings, compression cams roller rockers and timing chain set and cam button, Lunati roller lifters and push rods, Prommax heads, Chevy performance head gaskets, Felpro Permadry oil pan and valve cover gaskets, Felpro timing cover set and rear main seal, ARP head and main studs, Melling high volume oil pump and hardened oil pump drive, sealed power piston rings, DSS Racing forged pistons, and Cat performance products billet steel crankshaft girdle. This is included as is an old B&M roots style super charger. For sale locally, auction may end early.

New GM subcompact SUV spied, could be a Chevy or GMC
Mon, Aug 13 2018GM's pair of subcompact crossovers have been trundling along for a while now. The Buick Encore was the first for Americans in the 2013 model year, and the Chevy Trax that was based on the Encore (an encore of the Encore, if you will) arrived for the 2015 model year. Each has undergone a mild update, but these spy photos could indicate their replacements are in the works. Or not. For starters, we can't be sure which GM brand this new SUV is destined for. Though the timing and its flowing lines could indicate Buick, the thick horizontal bars visible in the grille would indicate otherwise. The next Encore being at least related to this is at least a possibility. Making the case for GMC are those thick grille bars, the fact that it extends far below the lights, and may even rise above them, similar to the Acadia. And that rising beltline isn't that different from that of the Acadia. Arguing against the GMC idea is the Encore, which is almost always sold in GMC-Buick combo dealers. Much as the Acadia was made smaller to eliminate confusion and in-house competition with the Enclave, it's hard to see GM opting to resurrect such an issue at the bottom end of the SUV market. That means we're leaning toward this little SUV wearing a Chevy bowtie. The split grille with a large lower section and small upper section is the brand's current design language, as seen on the new Malibus and Cruzes. The shape is vaguely Equinox-like. And like Buick, Chevy also has a subcompact crossover ready for replacement: the Trax. Now, our photographer reports he's seen another subcompact testing that has Blazer design cues, but in this crossover-hungry market, we wouldn't be surprised if two similarly sized but differently styled Chevy crossovers make the grade. It's a strategy that's working pretty well for Jeep. We'll no doubt be seeing more of these disguised test vehicles milling about the country in the coming months, so perhaps we'll eventually get a better idea of what this is before more official information starts trickling out within one or two years.

2015 GMC Yukon erupts into flames during Anaheim test drive [w/video]
Mon, 24 Mar 2014A 2015 GMC Yukon burst into flames while on a test drive in Anaheim, CA on Sunday after smoke filled the cabin. Residents of the neighborhood where the driver abandoned the redesigned Yukon reported hearing a series of small explosions (likely the tires, based on the video), according to a report from KTLA and The Los Angeles Times.
No one was injured in the incident, which The Times reports occurred after a possible oil or fluid leak. As you can see in the image above, the Yukon was engulfed in flames, although the Anaheim Fire Department was able to put out the blaze in about 15 minutes.
"We're very lucky that no one got hurt, and it was in an area that... was safe," Lt. Tim Schmidt of the Anaheim Police Department told KTLA reporters. "If there was any place that was going to be safe, it would be this area. It's very open. It worked out for us."
GM 6.2L EcoTec V8 rated at 21 mpg by the EPA
Wed, 02 Oct 2013General Motors is already laying claim to best-in-class power for its new 6.2-liter V8 that will be offered in the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra this fall, and now it has released fuel economy numbers for the big engine. Available as an option on the Silverado LTZ and High Country (shown above) models as well as the the Sierra SLT and Denali trims, the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 will return 15 miles per gallon in the city and 21 mpg on the highway on rear-wheel-drive trucks; these numbers drop by one mpg each on four-wheel-drive models.
These estimates are in addition to the engine's 420 horsepower, 460 pound-feet of torque and max trailering capacity of 12,000 pounds, and considering all that power it's not terribly far away from the fuel economy of GM's equally new 4.3-liter V6 and its rating of 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. This announcement comes just days after a report indicated that GM is unable to keep up with the demand of the 5.3-liter V8 in the fullsize Chevy and GMC trucks due to supplier issues. GM's official press release for the 6.2-liter V8's fuel economy is posted below.
