Hypnolobster posted:Yeah, gear isn't going to be the limiting factor for speed. Steering and stiff springs are going to be pretty suddenly "OH HOLY gently caress I HIT A BUMP AND CHANGED 4 LANES" Yea that's no joke, my truck has like 42 leafs in the back and no shocks and it's 5 years newer than this one. All the suspension is in the seat, seriously the seat has like 15 inches of articulation.

^^^^ Gloves, not to keep your hands warm, but to keep metal from sticking to your skin. All the thinsulate in the world won't keep your digits from turning into literal meat popsicles, but it is nice to not leave flesh on things that haven't earned it. Going back through the last page I just realized how normal you look in this picture. Like, if I was at the Keady livestock auction (the local one here) and saw someone who looked like you I'd probably not even think they were from the city. Turn back before you end up working at a mom & pop auto repair place in a rural village of 20 souls.

A snowmobile suit got me out of Boston on January 1 2000 in a sleet storm on a 1990 R100/7. I still have the suit, should I mail that poo poo up to you or can you find one on your own? They will make your rear end ACHE after a few hundred miles but you might be in warmer weather at some point right? Also why not yank the heater radiator from the van and slap that sucker into the beefbehemoth?

Fermented Tinal posted:Went back and looked, 3100rpm for 55 assuming 6.17 rear gearing. Honestly, I don't see how the L05 is gonna hate having to do that, especially since they don't really lose power until like what, 6000rpm? At 6000rpm we're talking like 90mph. Jesus, 6k RPM with open headers and three feet of total combined exhaust tubing would make one hell of a noise.

My mom asked what I wanted for my birthday and I replied "Thunder beneath my hooves, cold steel within my hands, vengeance in my heart, and my enemy's blood upon my blade as I ride for the new dawn" and she asked if maybe hot chocolate instead would work lol

Honestly I think the best birthday present 14 got is his sense of self worth and just how drat healthy he looks. Seriously, go back several pages and look at his pictures. I may be wrong but I think Dave really looks better.

6'1, 210 and it fit me fine (at the time, don't loving ask about now) PM me an address and when you need it by. I'm not sending you my Russian winter combat boots because I actually wear those when I ride in the winter. An army/navy store and some of those inflatable arctic combat boots might be another useful thing! [edit] I also have a cat who I love.

So 14in and the social worker who worked with me when I was PD trying to get people into drug and mental health programs have the same birthdate. Huuuuum. In all seriousness, I'm seriously impressed how everything has improved

Cursory googling led me to believe the redline for a truck/van L05 is 4500 RPM and they really stop making power after 3500 or so. Oh and Happy Birthday Mr. Inch!

Raluek posted:Chevy has historically put some really limp-dicked valve springs in their truck motors, though. I don't know how conservative the factory redline is, but: What I've seen quoted for the L05 is around 4500-5000 RPM as the "don't rev past this unless you like to rebuild your engine, shithead" mark.

The happiest of birthdays to our resident Black Thumb. Also, feeling any better? I know you were getting hammered pretty hard there for a while by whatever plague you caught.

Ah, I didn't look into it too much beyond seeing a few places say 350s redline north of 6k and that long before they reach the redline they stop making power.

I don't think the TBI will squirt enough fuel to go over 4500, not that the heads would let in enough air anyway. So what I am saying is put in higher ratio rockers if you want to beat that Cessna and find a 454 TBI.

So what I am saying is put in higher ratio rockers if you want to beat that Cessna and find a 454 TBI. Yeah, in addition I guess the valve springs in the truck motors started to float valves at around 4500 as well. With the 6.x rear end he'll still be good for highway travel but definitely needs to avoid interstates IMO. That said I fully expect 14" to find out the truck's top speed.
