V-549. Big motor back in the day...

The RD-501 6 cyl you played with had a Four Barrel Carb, right???

Hey Nick, how about a clip of you going up thru the gears? With audio of course!

Mike, it was a 501 and it had a governed 1 bbl. I might be able to get more specifics.

Wayne, I would but when I mounted my aux shift tower, I bolted it to the floor. So when ya scratch a gear it sounds like you are cutting the floor board with a chain saw It needs to be mounted to the main box but it is such a perfect fit where it is I never spent the time to remount. I do need to put a load on it and get a clip of it pulling hard, with maybe one or two easy shifts

I didn't realize the small block Detroit 60 was such a low RPM engine. This young man is good!



Then ya got this cool cat, I figured cow boy driver, but sissified and all, he is good too!



Both better than I am

I drove a Titan 90 Chevy with 350 Detroit and RR 13 speed from 76 to 79. This video brings back memories. I would let the clutch out leaving the tank farm and put it back in 70 miles later in Forks, Wa.

What? Huh? I think that is why my hearing is getting weak, from driving an old Diamond T 5x4 w/671 Detroit 10 wheel dump. I wouldn't trade that experience for nothing tho, I was young and "Big Trucking it"
