Thread: F1 Procharger 2000 Ext/Cab 4x4

  1. #1
    Just thought i would give you guys a heads up on our latest build what we are building. Were almost finished with the project.

    2000 Chevy Truck 4wd Extended Cab w/ 8" Lift on 36"s
    Project includes
    -6.0L Iron Block
    -Stock Stroke
    -4.030 Bore Diamond Pistons
    -Lunati I Beam Rods
    -Blower Cam
    -Patriot Stage II Heads
    -Arizona Longtubes
    -Studed & O-ringed block
    (F1 Procharger w/12 PSI of boost) 3 Core Intercooler
    -------------------------------------------------------
    (Fuel System)
    -Areomotive 500GPH Fuel Pump & Regulator
    -1/2" fuel line 8AN from the bottom of the tank to the motor (3/8" Line to each rail)
    -65 lb. Precision Injectors

    We have had it to together once before. The motor spun the crank pully as well as lifted the heads with the heads torqued down to 85lbs. So now we gave the bearings a little more clearance keyed the crank pully and o-ringed the block & heads using copper gaskets. Hopefully the heads stay down. It diffinetly had a ton of power though. Watching the Speedo at 40MPH we stood on it and it broke the 36" tall tires loose pitching it sideways.
    Although it is mainely a sand dune toy I would like to get some times and dyno numbers on it before it goes.

    Pics and Videos Soon

    WOW, Sean,

    that sounds like one badass project truck. When will it be done and what kind of numbers are you expecting?

    thanks for the update,

    Color me green with envy. That sounds like a load of power in the engine. I can't wait to see the dyno numbers posted.

    how did those patriot heds treat you? I've been reading about some apparent quality issues (flatness/true surfaces) with them lately.
