That motor is going to be very expensive to maintain FYI

 

Like... You talking the one that used to sit in his shop in Esco with a tundra V8 in it if I remember correctly? A friend here was looking to pick it up and asked if I knew anything about it but wasn't anything that looked familiar to me. Do you know much about it's current condition? Think it's mostly his fab work on the truck still? In the picture it definitely looks like one of his kits still on the front end.

 

Yep that truck, originally had that built up 22R that LC built. Still has most of Mike's fab work on it from what I've seen.

 

Interesting... Thanks for clarifying that.

 

Im always skeptical of motors that are built to the hilt. Even big$$$ motors built by the best. When it goes, it fuckin goes. No survivors. Doesnt mean anyone should shy away from this truck though. Proper prep, and easy on the abuse, itll run like a raped ape. If it does grenade, toss in a mild small block and have fun. God that glass is hideous lol.

 

Stroked 383 running on 110 =

 

Dude. It needs a bazillion hp. Dont you know anything?

 

Do it gabe!! Just buy a tow rig and a trailer for another 25k lol

 

Nah. I got almost twelve hours of run time out of my last 383 lol. That motor is why I drive a Toyota.

 

Cylinder head chamber cc's is what gives you big compression. You can stroke a small block (and most other motors) and still run pump gas. No need for big compression out of a motor that isnt running 1/4 mile blasts.

 

I guarantee you this guys motors wont blow up.

Whats the difference in his and say Mullenix racing engines?

 

Just a different builder???

 

Its all the same. Fuck ton of money will get you anything you want. But who the fuck csn afford a 50k$ motir??

 

fully billet symmetrical twin turbo motor... omg

 

Mullenix is a wrecker LS specialist. Nelson builds anything from 500hp n/a motors to 2500hp twin turbo monsters with custom heads his own patented turbos and intake. Plus nelson build his own software. Probably 10 to 15 years more experience as well.

 

Thanks for the clarification.

 

Im not hating on mullenix, he just builds off the shelf motors. The quality and attention to detail is top notch from nelson
