Robert,

The truck engines with the iron blocks came in 4.8L, 5.3L, or 6.0L displacement. The displacement is cast into the rear of the block, although some 4.8L engines were labeled 5.3L. The 5.3L and the 4.8L engines shared the same block but the 4.8L had a shorter stroke. I have an new MSD 6010 box that will allow you to run a carb and keep the electronic ignition. Send me a PM if you are interested in it.

Tonight I went to Beech Bend for their Saturday night test and tune. With the hood back on, passenger seat installed, half tank of gas, race weight was 3941 with me in it. I was running the same Nitto 555s that were installed back in 2002. Needless to say, they are a little hard. The temperature was about 85 degrees and very humid. After a few crusty passes, I managed to click off my best pass for the night.

60' 2.1
12.78 @ 111 MPH


I am pretty happy.

Andrew
