1970 Chevy C-10 Long Bed Pro Street Back Halved Narrowed Tubbed Big Block 4speed on 2040-cars
Lakeville, Massachusetts, United States
Up for sale is a nearly restored 1970 C-10 Long bed. The truck has already had the frame and bed professionally back halved, narrowed, and tubbed. It has been dropped three plus inches by using dropped springs and spindles. No corners cut in the prep work or finish so far.
The current rear end needs axles and gears, but has been prepped to accept the suspension and narrowed frame. If I didn't use the current rear end, my plan was to custom fit the rear end from a dually for a very unique look. The motor has been broken in while in my 1969 Corvette (sold) for approximately 45 minutes and runs incredibly strong, and keeps pulling all the way through the RPM range. The engine specifics are below, as are the specs for the 4 speed Muncie M-21 which has as much break in time as the engine. All the body work and paint work on the cab has been completed except a dent in the hood which came about after painting. The body work for the bed is complete and it's currently in primer. My plan was to open up the paint on the cab, paint the bed with a two coats, then final coat the entire truck, then clear the entire truck at the same time. I did my best to describe the truck. Once the rear end is done, I believe it is only a couple weekends away from being ready to complete the painting and putting a final clear coat. I will include a gallon of the single stage paint already applied to the truck from Summit Racing. Sorry for any dust on the truck in the pictures. Will sell without the motor and transmission as well What's There Frame - sanded, rust proofed, and painted Suspension - New front suspension components including ball joints, resurfaced rotors, reconditioned calipers, new shocks and lowering springs with dropped spindles, - Rear shocks with coil overs Engine - 454 big block - cleaned, magnifluxed, aligned honed, bored over .030 - Large intake/exhaust square port heads, lightly prepped - New Eagle Crank with new bearings - New Connecting Rods ( end ring type, not press fit ) with new bearings - New JE Forge Pistons with new rings - New Comp Cam Hydraulic Roller Lifter - Edelbrock 750 - Summit HEI Distributor - Edelbrock Toker II Intake Note: The motor was built from specs using Comp Cam software indicating horsepower and torque are bit over 600 each.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]
Thu, 07 Feb 2013For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.
