Big Chris -> Chevy 454 SS truck (Feb. 18 2008 18:18:57)

[8|] Out of interest some years ago I got me one of these banzi trucks at Americana loved driving it but not it's fuel consumption ,which wasn't helped by it's warped exhaust manifolds 7/10 mpg localy and 15mpg on a run.
Fitted a tonnue cover and gained 3mpg the real improvement being to import a full Edelbrock exhaust system which was a real b-----d to fit, but mpg up to 21/22 and sounded just awesome, [;)] Cheers Chris

[:D] Dave didn't keep the truck for long after fitting the exhaust system a guy walked into my mates garage and said he wanted it, I tried to get him to buy a Syclone real fast one instead. No I want your truck , name'd my price which he didn't like but asked him how many he'd scene and paid me cash made over £4000 profit,on the sale so put a deposit on a new Chrysler PT Cruiser !. Cheeky sod tried to get me to buy it back after he'd made a mess of it, couple years later.
Would very definatly require an LPG conversion.[;)]

[;)] Dave didn't you pick up that Custom  Chevy stepside at the same Americana as I got the 454.
It had been imported in May 91 and spent most of it's life in the Newark area, yes it could devour rubber very easily my only critisism being that model had the LCD dash and no rev-counter. Believe the models colours were black,white ,red those are the only colour's have seen.
