Auto restoration shop offers the owner’s personal 1971 Chevy K20 4x4 Pickup. We built this truck for the owner,
just test/tune miles since completion. This is a factory K20, the 4x4’s never got a big block from the factory,
we built a nice 454 for this truck, the big block conversion was done correctly. This is a rust free high desert
Oregon truck. This truck has some nice options, built to be driven and used. This truck could be proudly shown at
any car show, but was not built with than intention. We have quite a bit more money in this build than it’s
worth, shop owner has been selling off some of his vintage car collection for business expansion. This is his last
and favorite Chevy pickup. This truck is big, loud, fast and mean. Everywhere this truck has been driven gets
conversations, photo requests and thumbs up. Not many factory 4x4’s out there built to this level. I believe the
1971/2 Chevy K20 was the best pickup ever built.
MECHANICAL
We started with a 70’s Gen IV Big Block 454. Large oval port “781” casting heads, forged internals, Comp 282
hydraulic camshaft, Crane roller rockers, balanced rotating assembly. Edelbrock aluminum intake, 750 CFM Edelbrock
4 barrel carburetor electric choke, HEI (electronic) ignition. Headers are long tube for a Chevelle, best setup for
this conversion. Aluminum valve covers and air cleaner. 454 built for torque, with a bumpy cam, with incredible
low-mid range power you want in a 4x4. We never Dynoed this motor but guess it’s in the 425-450 Horse & 500+ ft
lb TQ range. We’ve seen so many times guys go too far on a BBC 4x4 build with rectangle port car heads and a huge
cam which gives only top end power you don’t want in a 4x4. We have the ignition timing set for premium pump
fuel. Dual 2 ½ in exhaust to dual 40 series Flowmaster mufflers. Power steering, large hub open knuckle disc brake
front axle, heavy duty Eaton rear axle, both original to the truck, 4.10 gears. Rebuilt TH-350 automatic
transmission with shift kit to rebuilt 205 gear driven transfer case. Part time T-Case with 2H 4H N 4L. Skyjacker
lift kit and shocks, brand new 35’s on new aluminum wheels.
We believe this to be one of the best 67-72 4x4 trucks out there, built tough to be used. This is not a 1000 point
trailer queen show car, it is a very nice excellent condition driver. Finding a solid restorable 4x4, restoring,
converting to big block would cost near double the asking price and take time to build, save money and time to buy
it done.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes Â– is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

Next-gen GMC Sierra spied with diesel power

Tue, Sep 5 2017

The next generation of GM trucks is arriving soon, and we're expecting a huge leap forward over the current lineup. The Chevy Silverado and the GMC SIerra sell extremely well, but haven't done much to move the segment forward in a long time. The Ford F-150 has an all-aluminum body and turbocharged V6 power. The Ram 1500 gained a diesel and coil spring suspension. These spy shots show that diesel may be in the cards for GM. Some quick shots and copious use of flash show what is most likely a tank for diesel exhaust fluid and a diesel particulate filter, both necessary equipment for any modern diesel. It's unclear what form factor that engine will come in, though GM has a number of engines to choose from, including the 2.8-liter inline four that's found in the Colorado and Canyon, though that may be a little light duty for the Silverado and Sierra. Other rumors surrounding the trucks suggest a move to an aluminum cab while retaining a steel bed. That seems like a reasonable move for GM, even if the company was attempting to shame Ford for its move to aluminum a few years ago. Look for more news as early as the Detroit Auto Show in January.
