Thread: 1949 Dodge Pilot House Rat Rod......

Tweet

As the title states. Building a rat rod truck. 49 5 window Pilot House cab, 83 D150 chassis, 93 D350 Dana 70 dually rear axle with 93 D350 front hubs and wheels. It's a shorty dually.

Anyway, until I can get some pictures of the truck, as they are all in my other computer that's dead, here are some of the engine. 1956 Chrysler Fire Power 331 Hemi truck engine, .040 over. 9.3:1 static compression ratio. Custom grind Oregon Cams solid camshaft, .453 lift, 240@ .050" duration ground on a 106 lobe separation.

I found the intake from a fire truck that had two very large one barrel carburetors and got Trans Dapt adapters for two GM 2GC two barrels. Desktop Dyno says about 360 HP and close to the same in torque. I didn't build it to drag race, but to be a reliable cruiser to have a lot of fun with.

More pictures forthcoming.
