1972 Chevy Truck on 2040-cars
Grafton, Ohio, United States
|
I am listing my 1972 Chevy C10 for sale. This truck is restorable and needs some body work. I am a machinist by trade, so I machined and built a custom 400 small block Chevy engine for a street performance vehicle. My intentions were to restore the truck, but due to my divorce I had to install this engine in the truck to get it on the road and out of her driveway. This engine is a bit much for this truck but it has worked out well and this thing moves! The base of the engine is a highly sought after 2 bolt 509 casting, small block 400 that has a higher nickel content than other 400's. It is bored and honed .030." The cylinder heads are Brodix aluminum castings that I ported, drilled the proper steam holes, milled, and put a performance valve job on before assembling. They are 187cc volume intake runners after the port work and flow well. ARP head bolts clamp the heads to the block. Comp Cams roller valve springs, retainers, locators, locks, guide plates, pushrods, etc. The camshaft is an Erson custom billet hydraulic roller with 228/236 @ .050" and has .540" lift. I got the upgraded option that has a pressed on and pinned steel gear for the distributor ($75 extra.) No bronze or expensive composite gear required. The lifters are of the highest quality, Morel hydraulic rollers. This company (Morel) builds lifters for the top fuel cars and they make the best available today. They are over $600 a set. The timing chain is a 9 keyway billet true roller with a bronze wear plate and a roller cam button. The timing cover is a reinforced steel version to limit cam walk. Crower stainless steel 1.5 ratio full roller rocker arms. Edlebrock EPS intake manifold, 670 cfm 4 barrel Holley Avenger truck carburetor, MSD HEI Street fire distributor and wires, and NGK plugs round out the top end. It also has a new water pump, alternator, and starter. This truck has the power steering option and it works great. The crankshaft was magnafluxed, turned 10/10 on the rods and mains, knife-edged, balanced, has Clevite bearings and is retained by ARP main studs. The Pioneer 8" balancer is also a new and is for an external balance set up. I magnafluxed, balanced, polished, and reconditioned a set of 5.7 small block rods with ARP bolts. Pistons are Keith Black dished hypereutectics and total seal rings that I filed to fit the bores properly. Oiling is with a Melling M55HV high volume/high pressure pump, a heavy duty pump shaft, and has a ARP pump stud holding it in place. A Milodon steel pickup with Milodon 7qt low profile oil pan. I have done two oil changes to this truck because I have only put 780 miles on it since I installed this motor in August 2013. I have only used Brad Penn green oil in it and Fram HP4 racing filters. I have the compression ratio set at 9.7:1 for a pump gas friendly set up. If someone wanted to bracket race this engine, it would be a great candidate. The parts in this engine are overkill for a street rod and I did that so it would be a durable power plant. I have over $5000 in parts in this engine and I have receipts for most of it. With the labor of building, machining and porting a custom engine like this it would cost in the $7-8000 range through a shop. Probably more after they mark up the parts. You have to keep in mind this is not thrown together. These parts were a hand picked proven combination by a professional and blueprinted accordingly. I did not dyno this engine but I have used similar combinations before and depending on compression, they have made 450hp+ and over 500ft lbs of torque on pump gas all day long. It has ample piston to valve clearance and I set it up this way so the heads could be milled more in case I wanted to push this thing to the edge. It is also lowered with Hotchkis springs and shocks. 2 1/2" in the front and 3" in the rear to give it an even stance. There is a larger sway bar on the front with urethane parts. The truck handles well. New front disk brakes and rotors, wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rods, idler arm, and center link. Shifting the gears is a turbo 350 and a 12 bolt truck rear-end out back. Dual exhaust all the way back and it has the stock truck manifolds that I port matched to the heads as well. I have many extras to go along with it. Including a Harwood fiberglass show series 3" cowl, bolt on hood and the lightweight springs for it, I have extra door glass for both doors, 4 extra vent windows, another instrument panel cluster, and some other miscellaneous items. All of the gauges work and it has a tachometer that is not stock as well. Everything works on this truck like the blinkers, lights, wipers, heat, etc. The interior is in pretty good shape and the bucket seats are very comfortable. This truck was originally optioned with the 350 4 barrel set up. The truck is rough but has potential. The gem is the 400 small block and the truck essentially comes with it. I don't have the time or patience to do the body work at this time. So I'm parting ways with it. I require the buyer to handle all shipping costs and for the truck to be paid in full before the title and vehicle are exchanged.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
2015 Green Car Of The Year finalists announced, run alt-fuel gamut
Tue, Oct 21 2014The 2015 edition of the Green Car of the Year award is following right in the footsteps of previous years with a variety of alt-fuel powertrains making the just-announced finalists list. You've got your plug-in vehicle (the BMW i3), your compressed natural gas (the Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel), your high-efficiency diesel (the Audi A3 TDI), your 40+ mile-per-gallon gas engine (the Honda Fit) and, finally, a car that can do a little bit of everything (the VW Golf). The Golf is available – at least in some parts of the US – with three different powertrains: a 2.0-liter diesel, a gasoline engine and all-electric drive. The Impala can burn either natural gas or gasoline in its 3.6-liter engine. The A3 is an efficiency champ, able to get 73.5 mpg on some European tests. The i3 can be a pure electric vehicle or come with a short range extending engine. And the Fit brings 41 miles to the gallon in a practical, affordable package. The GCOY award is announced every year at the Los Angeles Auto Show by Green Car Journal. The committee doesn't just take the fuel-saving technology into account, but also a vehicle's "availability to the mass market." Last year, the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid won top honors, following up on wins from the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) for 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas for 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt for 2011. FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2015 "GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR"" Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 10th Annual Award at LA Auto Show" Press & Trade Days, November 20 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 21, 2014) – Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's high-profile 2015 Green Car of the Year® program.

An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the Year® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.
