    Maybe we are suffering from lack of Ken.

    Anyway, I thought I'd let you see what correct gearing, tall tires and slight modification can do to a GMC 6.

    I agree, Bill. Nate's got everyone on track and it looks as though no one has questions. I logged on and heard friggin' crickets. My 'puter at work won't let me view the movie- go figure.
    Thanks anyway, Bill! I'll try it in the privacy of my own home! A G 6 with over 300HP? Uses hugs and kisses fuel... (XXO) (?)

    I have a picture I can't wait to post- This weekend, I hope. It will make Kevin SOOOO jealous! (my new front lift kit for my truck!)

    Front end lift kit for a GMC, huh? I thought that was two 8 inch cinder blocks.
    Couldn't resist, Zig. I too had noticed how quiet it was around here.

    Far as I know, there hasn't been a dipper 6 (or even a full-flow 235/261) that has broken 300 MPH at Bonneville yet. This beast uses a GMC 302 long motor. If I remember right, you make a 321" GMC by boring .125" and stroking .125", making it 4.125x4.125

    Too Quiet

    I talked to a gent from Long Beach , Ca. who built a streamliner with a Jimmy 302 and went to Bonneville with it , interesting fellow to be sure .

    Sadly my work too blocks youtube and I'm on dailup here @ home .

    Hopefully , all you folks are too busy having fun with your old GM trucks to be posting here...
