Will It Make Any Power, or Blow Up? "> I listen to people make remarks all the time about hesitating to put their cars and truck on a framework dyno. Some folks appear to be terrified that they will damage their autos, when actually the framework dyno is actually no harder on your cars and truck than going full steam up a highway on-ramp or down a back road. If you would certainly be prepared to do either of those points in your trip after that do not stress concerning the framework dyno. What about a 300,000 mile OBS Chevry truck?

Rebeldryver’s work truck OBS Chevy is getting some love as well as being brought back to a much better life, however not prior to examining out the stock engine that is under the hood with 300,000 miles. It’s rough, it makes no power, and it has some oil stress concerns and also more. He’ll fill you in, yet it isn’t excellent.

Will the chassis dyno be excessive for it? Or will it surprise us and also make even more power than we assume?

On an impulse we decided to dyno examination my POS winter months beater ’90 Chevy 4 × 4. I paid $1000 for this thing. It has 300,000 miles on the TBI 350. It’s worn without a doubt. I wanted a baseline power level because we plan to make some upgrades. We aren’t going nuts with investing on this rusted-out truck. We want to enhance our power and also towing capability. Perhaps even some fun offroad usage. The results were unexpected on various levels.

It is not an uncommon thing to see old cars and motorcycle restored, right? Happens every day. Even the rare machines that history seems to have lost can be brought back to their gleaming, original form by talented craftsmen and artisans. What’s far more rare is seeing hot rods restored. The machines that are modified by their original owners tend to have a life cycle that does not include “rebirth” like so many other types of vehicles do.

This is the story of a hot rod being restored, not a four wheeled hot rod, but a motorcycle. How about a 1974 Kawasaki Z1, which is already an amazing motorcycle but this one had a turbocharger installed DECADES ago. The bike was ridden, drag raced, and pretty well taken care of over the years.

Bought at an estate sale and then blown apart, the machine you see here is simply awesome. One of those examples of “they did what…when?!” that modern hot rodder just get their mind blown over. The video shows everything from the motorcycle’s backstory to its resurrection. This thing had to have been an absolute destroyer on the street as it makes 120hp to the tire. That was being made in an age when “superbikes” were making many 75% (or less) than that on a sunny day.

Enjoy the video and this simply awesome motorcycle below!

It’s been a difficult little for Blasphemi, Finnegan’s outstanding straight axle gasser 1955 Chevy Bel Air. It’s been through engines, based on the bumper, and simply been one heck of a fun standard transmission race cars and truck. However it has torn some things up, for a range of reasons. Blasphemi has actually been absent for a while, as well as that is at the very least in part due to the fact that it has been getting stuff done to it.

New paint, brand-new wheels, as well as no Hemi? Wait, what? Hmmmm I seem like there is even more to this than meets the eye.
