What kind of times does/did this thing run?

[Gary Lewis]

Wow!!!  Looks like drag slicks, Cory.  

Tell us more about the engine!  And the truck!

Hey Pimp daddy, those hips....I mean fenders look good.....another blue flareside for the win!

ONE of those Dominators is worth more than my truck is....

Can we see some of the underside?
What are you using to get it to hook?

I don't see any screws in the wheel to keep the slicks from spinning on the wheels.
He may have them on the back side but I would do both side so not to twist the slick on the wheel.

It also hard to tell if he has the slick & wheel marked for 2 reasons:
1- if not screwed it the slicks are spinning on the wheel.
2- how much tire spin on take off he is getting
A logger would tell him if he had slippage but not show where it was at like the marked wheel / tire.

I would also guess he is running a 4 link suspension out back

I'd assume four link.... But I want to SEE IT!

when i first built it ..it never made it to the track...i drove it down the street once and pulled out a freshly built motor (547cid for NOS)..it was built wrong

[SPL_PIMP]

thank you...hopefully be running it in fresh paint and stripes next year ..we will see!  yours is Beautiful!

Its a Ladder Bar setup on a 9 inch

[SPL_PIMP]

first goal is to get it out of storage and back to my shop when the motor is built 100%
when the motor is done its going to be a 557CID built for NOS..my goal is to get over a 1000HP with a 200HP shot of NOS..(should be easy)...it needs alot of work and time..if i can get it running and moving on its own i have a storage spot a crossed the street now so i can drive it over to the shop and pic at it over the winter and drive it back.
if i get it done over the winter,i all ready have a guy to paint it
when its done it will most likely have Beadlocks or these rims turned into Beadlocks
as far as it hooking i have been building drag cars and trucks for 25 years, the motor is pushed back if i remember right about 6 inches so it wont be so nose heavy
single digits is the goal...but if it hooks in the low 1.30 sixty footer it should run in the high 8 seconds on the happy gas...we will see

Also i really want to thank Gary Lewis for this site..its such a wealth of information and good people
BULLNOSES FOR LIFE..lololoooo!

[Gary Lewis]

You are more than WELCOME!  Glad you are here.  We don't have very many exploring the upper limits on horsepower or lower limits on ET, so it is good to see a different approach.

We'd love to see more pictures and details about the engine, suspension, and truck overall.  It'll be cool to see one of our beloved Bullnose trucks going fast.  Can't wait for videos!

[SPL_PIMP]

you and me both boss...i have been waiting along time to finally do something for myself...when i get it out of storage and back in the shop i will take more pictures and deff give updates and build pics!
with a little luck and alot of hard work it will be painted and at the track next year at some point.
hopefully the videos will be of it in a wheelie..hahahaaa

Somewhere on youtube are vids of a turbo 300 six pulling awesome numbers at the track. Im on an android or id find and post.

I love my 300, but ive got a 302 and an LS motor staring me in the face.....
