Chevy Sonoma 500 HP build

[Mopar1973Man]

I've got a friend just down the road from me with a Chevy Sonoma truck. We pulled the factory 6 cylinder out now stuffing a 500 HP Chevy 350 V8 in this body. We are in the stages of fitting the engine and transmission last night. We had to cut the cross member a bit to fit the 7 quart oil pan in there. It going to be a tight fit but one hell of a quick truck.

 

Little two wheel drive Chevy Truck super light.

 

Chevy 350 CID... Got lots to do yet. Still got to mate up the transmission after we get a torque converter. We got custom exhaust headers coming. We've got a built TH400 trans going behind this. 

 

Yup I was there working on this beast.

Just a bit of fun... I was talking to my buddy last night and we are talking about spots to do a bit of drag racing. There is a few of us gathering up and starting to look at the thought of street racing for a bit of weekend fun. Find an quiet road somewhere and do a few 1/4 mile or 1/8 mile runs.  Bring out the beast and run against this little Chevy might be a handful. But well see.

Waiting awhile... My buddy is doing this with an extra funds he has. So like we are waiting for exhaust headers, carburetor, electric water pump, electric fans for the aluminum radiator. Still got to have a driveshaft made for this truck. But we've been working on it after work in the evenings.
