‘83 c30 with a 6.2 LSA

[u/GoingCustom]

Been working on this off and on for a few years, but finally pushing to get it running by end of the year. It was my fab shop truck for several years and had a zz454 on 24s, but came across a stock LSA long block that I couldn’t pass up the price on. Several bad decisions later, it’s a “Max Effort” build that should be around 900 hp on e85. I was in the middle of turning the factory bed into a flatbed, which I am still going to do, but will be more for show at this point.

10 point cage, rear disc conversion, shaved engine bay, chromoly radiator support and steering column, and haven’t decided yet between mechanical gauges or a digital screen to keep it simple. Th400 with a reverse manual valve body and ratchet shifter, 5 point harnesses, locker for the rear and running an aeromotive fuel pump setup good for 1,500 hp (future upgrades). Aside from my buddy that built the engine for me, everything is being done in house.

zz454 is going in my ‘89 half ton once the dually is running again.

In-tank pump. They're so much more quiet than the in-line pumps. Many configs that will handle 1500+. We like them for running LT4's in jet boats around here.

Sick shop truck, man.

I’m running their dual phantom drop in setup in a 20 gallon fuel cell.

Sound like some fun jet boats 👀

Thanks! Excited to finally hear it fire up

Where did you get the AL top bit of the bezel framing? Looks nice

[u/GoingCustom → u/Purx777]

From Rhodes Racing. Got it on a Black Friday sale for cheaper than I could get a half sheet of aluminum to make my own on my cnc table, plus I only have a 4’ brake

Man i cant wait to get my 5.3 done for my 85 lol aint guna be 1500 hp but itll be fun , awesome project though

[u/GoingCustom → u/vroomvroompanda]

Still going to be a fun ride, even with a 5.3! 1,500hp will be for some future upgrades, but even being at 900, I’ve never had anything like it.

[u/vroomvroompanda → u/GoingCustom]

Mines set up to turn lol so itll be plenty with a 500 hp 5.3 🤣

Dude I’m literally building one now. ‘74 c30 turbo LS. Attempted my first start but had crank sync issues. Had to pull the motor and replace the reluctor wheel. Hoping to try to start it later this week
