Hillrod race truck

I sold that clapped out foxbody, and picked up a sweet clapped out cummins. Has a cracked block. Needs a bunch of work. Probably wont be done for awhile. Has a few mods already. Edge comp box, 5 inch exhaust, fass 150 lift pump, has a few gauges to keep track of stuff, has a new box of arp head studs in the cab, might have a couple trans mods.

like!!

now madison can hang with jv,

Yea you need to get some 8" stacks and some lights and a CB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I expect to see 11s

^ 11's are the goal. Wont know what it will do until it runs again.

stay away from the 52 blocks... (i think that is the #)

I have a cb ill cell you for ten bucks. Comes with all the wires and a shorty magnet mount

Awesome. The block number to stay away from is 53. Especially if its from a 99-02. The earlier ones don't seem to have the same problem. I'd also check to see if the current block is a 53. Although unlikely these days, if that truck happens to have less than 150K on it and it has a cracked 53 block, cummins will replace it under warranty. It'll be interesting to see whats in the tranny. Hopefully at least valve body and a converter. Also the pump already being done is sweet.

It is a 53 block. Truck had 173k on it. I have a running engine lined up for pretty cheap. Has 50hp ddp injectors. And is supposed to be a mexican block. The trans has billet shafts, sun coast valvebody, a bd hd rebuild kit, billet tripple disc converter, bd billet flex plate, mag hytech pan, and some ts lockup box.

Wanna race? I get 7 and the hit.

Damn! If it has all that already you're off the hook for a lot of coin and ready to make some good power. That'll be a great running truck.

Should be fun, what do you plan to do with it? Fun driver or a pull or drag truck? btw 4wd launches are cool feeling with a half ton of torque lol

This isnt my first diesel. Im looking for a street/strip truck.

Cool, my dad's got an 03 Dmax (got a super good deal so it's not a cummins) with Edge Juice with Attitude, Impressive I have to admit. I'm in the market for a 1st gen cummins, less power and potential but it'd do what I'd need to and I like that body style most lol all old and boxy. Good luck with the build.

The engine is out and at Fullboar. Things are happening.

Both engines are now apart. Both were in really good shape. The engine that was in the truck looked like new inside. And the block was not cracked. It has a small notch on the edge of the number 5 hole. Has to be a factory flaw. Been there since day one. I will still be using the non 53 block anyhow. Going to be starting the head work soon. Milling the intake off for porting. Then building a sheet metal intake to replace the stock pos. Engine wont be done for awhile. I have to wait until I get my cometic gaskets before I can finish it . They should be ready in the spring. I will be testing cometic's new head gasket for them. I have a long way to go. But have a decent start.

Sounds like you got a good start on it. Is this gonna be done by spring?

Awesome man. Should be a brawler when it's done it sounds like.

I kinda doubt it. I will be running out of free time soon. Then I will only have a few hours a week to work on it. I am just going to take my time and do it right.

Sounds like monster in the making.

at least you will have something with more than 273whp now

283 butthole. Lol

Picked up most of the p-pump swap. That should spice things up a bit.
