70 year old Terry Haines broke the XO/BGL record at Bonneville using a 54 year old GMC 302 a year ago. Haven't heard how he did this year. Pointer to last year's story: http://www.theunion.com/article/20070817/SPORTS/108170171 Picture taken last week by one of the guys on the OldGMC forum: http://oldgmctrucks.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/294006236/m/3821087193
Adding fuel to Zig's fire! Bill, why did you post this? As if Zig is not full of himself enough! Now we've got to hear about how superior "G" motors are! Cool article and definitely cool guy!
Well... Gosh, Ken~ All I can say is, "THANKS"! Once I put Humpty back together again, My G's engine will probably turn out the heat just like this one. I'll try to control all that power though~ Bill~ Thanks for a GREAT article that is full of fact!
imagine just imagine how fast he could have gone if he ditched the boat anchor and used a real motor!!
Wooden spoon! Ok Bill, i dont need you stirring things up I didnt call his baby ugly, i did that in another post! What i did say was his motor is only good as a boat anchor!! Luv ya zig
All's Fair ......In the ongoing war between the good trucks and the ugly ones ones with Long Motors Tee-Hee !
brit just can't hide it... Raise your hand if you can hear "envy" reverberate of the walls as you read brit's veiled attempt to put down the only block he wished HE had... That's OK, brit~ I'll send you a photo of it soon. A REAL engine!
Zig i gots your back!!! GMC is the way to go.... long long long motor, more unique truck!!! then again maybe im biased
I also noticed that... Long rhymes with dong... I don't know why I bring that up... Oh yeah~ you woke the sleeping poet in me! Watch out now...
Well Neil ; .....I just take a look at my beautiful CHEVROLET grill and realize : they're just incredibly jealous ! Howzat ?
For once Ken, for once im not fed up with you jumping at the chance to show off your sickeninly gorgeous truck, that pic came at the right time, got me al lumpy throated and bosom swolen with pride, Damnit that pic should be on your countries flag maybe the stipes of the grill and stars could be reflected in them
Man Ken that is one nice lookin truck.... even for a chevy well ok its an amazing truck... period eventually i would like mine to look like this http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/ca/full.aspx?Page=44 but i think i have a way to go https://talk.classicparts.com/showthread.php?t=8752 either way... a short chevy, or a long GMC 3/4 ton... extra long.... they are being driven and restored!!! These trucks are just cool, no matter what you do to em
Wolf, not to worry! You'll get there! And we'll be there for you! We pick at and poke fun at one another, but we all want the same thing. We all want something we can be proud of and enjoy! Hang with Zig and you won't go wrong. He's good people, as we say down here in the south. BTW, thanks for the compliments on my truck. Lots of blood, sweat and tears went into it. And a whole lot of sound advice from my friends on this forum!
