1987 Chevrolet C/K Pickup 1500 SHORTBED!!
370 hp 350 SMALL BLOCK
10,000 miles since complete drivetrain overhaul!!
The motor was torn down and the block was bored .40 over
The Vortec heads were disassembled acid flowed ,ported , polished ,then rebuilt using heavier valve springs ,new lifters, valves etc;
I wanted the truck streetable and able to run on pump gas , so I had a custom ground oversized RV cam installed. We also used a Steele crank , and a set of flat top pistons to finish off the block.
It was then topped off with an Edelbrock aluminum intake, and a Holley throttle body mated to the factory reprogrammed computer and a piggy back chip. I had a set of long tube HEDMAN headers installed and it was ready to go back in. Motor was dyno tested at a little over 370 HP !!!
I then had the motor installed and hooked to a 700r4 trans with overdrive. The transmission was rebuilt, a shift kit was installed and it was beefed up to handle the extra torque. I also had the rear end rebuilt with a posi unit and 373 gears. After the headers I had a set of flow masters installed and new pipes all the way back .It sounds awesome VERY fast..but very drivable and still gets decent gas mileage.
Truck was lowered using drop springs, and lowering shackles from JDM. It has BRAND NEW INSTALLED 10-22-2012 295/50's all the way around on aluminum rims.
Truck has a very aggressive, MEAN stance that gets noticed.
just installed an all steel cowl hood and had the truck painted BLACK PEARL METALLIC. . . very sharp!!
Interior has been completely redone..Factory gauge cluster was rebuilt and finished with a white face.
New carpet was installed, new door panels, new dash cap, as well as a NEW set of racing seats with 4 point harnesses all recently installed.
Truck has ice cold A/C. . ...and new keyless entry.

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles
Thu, Nov 27 2014US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.
