It won't ever get to hydrolock stage. I have had some get in there and freeze. I don't run the truck in the winter due to corrosion. I drilled a pinhole in the lowest bend in the exhaust. These have been uncovered for almost 20 years.

Also look in my channel, there is a video of running after a rainstorm. It makes a black mess.

@@1958johndeere620 interesting, thanks. Do you park it inside or outside during winter? My truck sees long periods of no use while parked outside. By long periods, I mean, it’s been 2 years at this point 🤣 my chevy is a project to say the least

@@jhsevs Its always outside, no space for it inside. Needs new paint again, been like 15 years of sun damage. It is what it is, an old truck.

And when I drive it today I look like an old redneck. Chrome stacks and all. LOL!.

@@1958johndeere620 You still have it? Phenomenal. You’ve got me looking up 1st gen Cummins’ on marketplace lol

@@haroldmccarty1333 Yup, still have 3 of them. My 89,92,and this 93.

I have 2 Duramax 1tons I plow and sand with. I am not anti dmax or pwrstroke . But these 12v sound better for sure.

Getting by so far. Not much to film.

Yes sir Larry. I removed the tree's because my 35 foot Rohn 25g used for my 10 meter vertical is going higher. I am adding 20 feet to it. These tree's were in the way of doing that. Time to go.

Thanks!

Your welcome,catch ya on 52 sometime maybe.

Its in need of another paint job, but still goes good. It see's very little use, but I try to drive it a few hundred miles every year. I don't tow with it any more. The clutch is on its last legs, no slip, just very grabby. It will not back up smoothly. Its either engaged or disengaged. Bucks like hell.

You use anything you would like.

I drove to a freightliner dealer. They had everything I needed.

@@1958johndeere620brother 15 years later and you’re still replying you sir are a real one

Made it.

I’m thinking of buying the same one from Summit. How happy are you with it now that you have had it a while and am assuming put some good miles on it. Can you share your thoughts on it as a follow up review?

@@gregsgarage1963 I've had it a little while now and am overly happy with it. The minor issue I had with the carb was handled quick and easy and no hassle by customer service. I've put nearly 6,000 mi on it, ran it hard, cruised it easy, and am overall happy with it. It's my first crate motor, and my first brand new motor and I will be buying another from blueprint when the time comes to pick out another.

This comment screams, hey I drink soy 8 times a day.

original 12 valve

Idk

Hydraulic roller. It’s on the website

I can't remember initial timing at idle, but vacuum unhooked I am pretty sure it was 34 btdc at 4 k. Its exactly where Blueprint tech said to put it. The timing was set by them as it was a dyno tested engine, but I pulled the distributor to prime the oil pump before start up. I wanted to see good oil pressure before cranking it up.

They keep telling me no vacuum advance 34 at 4000 also.engine won’t idle keeps diying

@@kenschreiner6465 I kept the vacuum advance unhooked. The tech said that it possibly could draw enough vacuum at wide open throttle to tickle the vacuum advance at high rpm's. He said these engines take in enough air at high rpm's that even with the throttle plates wide open it still could have a little intake vacuum. To bad your having issues, maybe a carb issue.

@@kenschreiner6465did you figure it out? Instructions for BP from the website says 14 degrees at idle/initial and 34 degrees total timing @3500 rpm. Runs good for me, had to adjust AFR and idle screw

@@nathandeleeuw281 I timed it at 3500 34’ degrees idle is about 14 runs fine now starts right up

I am waiting for one more part to show up and will be installing a tremec TKX 5 speed. This engine ate the Saginaw 4 speed for lunch. Have been waiting 6 months for parts.

@@1958johndeere620 I drove mine today for around 5 miles....VERY powerful engine....the torque is incredible in my 55 Chevy....I have a Hughes 2500 converter....and it hits hard when you get on it a little....I have to drive mild for 500 miles during breakin...I have only had it about half throttle and it is crazy powerful even at that!

@@bobsilver3983 I drove it a couple times and put it through different rpm's, throttle positions, load ect. I tried to keep the conditions always changing. Dad does get on it some, and he is the one who broke the saginaw power shifting to 2nd, but most of the time he is just puttin around. He is chomping at the bit for the parts to get here for the tranny install. He keeps telling me " I'm gonna die before I get my car back". Its very frustrating waiting for backordered parts. I can't even get started because its the slave/throwout bearing assembly I'm missing. Kinda need that to even get started.

@@1958johndeere620 I have had pretty good luck getting most of my parts through Summit, and some stuff that was on "backorder", I looked on eBay and it was there...so I have bought many things for my 55 on eBay.

I know, I still get subscribers and I don't even film anymore.

@@1958johndeere620 you're a legend for replying to comments 12 years later!

@@CAT-ow8oh I'm a legend,,,,,,,,, in my own mind. LOL!

Its my fathers car, I just did the install. Its nice, runs strong, but this poor boy could not afford one. It is the most powerful small block I have ever driven. The dyno was around 450 hp flywheel .

@@1958johndeere620 that’s nice . What website y’all order from ? How long did to take to ship .?

@@pretzeltss I think he got it from Summit, but it was last year, so not sure on current delays.

Had it running today.

@@1958johndeere620 well give the people an update ! Lol

13 years, still king!

Yeah it is 🤘👍

Go buy a real semi and quit trying to make that tin can one

manual choke vacuum secondary holley 750. It is the carb that came with the engine from Blueprint.

It is not a kit. I made the setup. All the kits available are not fed in the middle. They are fed on one side, which makes the smoke delayed on one side. Mine comes up in the center of the bed, and is equal length to each stack. I just bought the elbows, straight pipe, and 2 stacks at a heavy truck dealer.

This runs cool, but it has a brand new Cold Case aluminum radiator.

Na, I just take the truck for a ride. LOL!

You damn right ✅️ 👌

I just took 4 regular muffler clamps, drilled the bed to pass the threaded ends through, then put the nuts on the threads that stick under the truck bed. Kinda sandwich it.

@@1958johndeere620 oh that’s easy, thanks for the quick response, I’m trying to do some on a flatbed and it’s tough lol

I still have all 3 of them.
