Drag Truck makes first pass....

Ironically we had two other 318?trucks run last year at that time. One was my buddy’s ‘79 that a warmed over 318 with a comp 268AH-10 cam, some cut 360 heads, an LD4B and shorty headers. Also had 3.91 gears. It was running 10.30s at 70mph, and just like mine, didn’t seem to have nearly enough converter.

The infuriating part, was my brother brought his 200k mile bone stock ‘91 Dakota 318 LA with factory 3.55 gears and ran a 10.16 at 68mph! Our run grilles we’re making more power considering the mph and weight difference, but he would kill us in the 60ft!
some truck fun for sure!!! lol. We were happy with the 10.08. I have no idea the condition of our 318, how much slack may be in the chain, I do know occasionally a lifter tick comes and goes. We didn't even bother with a compression test because no matter what it was it would have to run as it was...
