Oh BTW do you have any pics of your drag diesel??!!!! yea man thanks! i know a bit about the gasser platform. but i know that you guys know more. so thats why im registering here. i have several buddies that are really big into LS based trucks that are helping me out also. they have been nagging me for the truck for some time now. but i wouldnt sell. so now im actually putting a engine in it now!!! i do have more pics of the duramax. im uploading them now. its not a drag truck though. its my daily driver. i take it to the track pretty often though. the last thing im doing to it is installing the s480 over the s366. then im done. i will keep it and continue racing it. but im not adding any more goodies to it. my original thoughts were to put its motor into the RC/SB 1500 due to the huge power to weight ratio. but after some research, ive found that it will be really hard to do. but possible. i just wouldnt have anything to drive for a while. sooooo... thats why i bought the LSX block.

shroudedunity Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Welcome Do you have any pics or videos of your truck, it sounds so badass thanks! i just added pics of the silverado and the dmax in my profile. not sure if its has the right settings though. it has a lock next to it. so idk if i missed something and set it to private or what. let me know if you can see them. i will add more when i get home. im at work right now. and those are the only ones i have available for the time being. i will upload a couple videos on here. one is a a 7.7 1/8 pass here at qualcom. and the other is a slow a$$ 1/4 mile pass back when i first got the truck.

SSplaytoy Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Welcome man Sweet DD if all the diesel stuff wasn't so expensive, it be awesome to throw a dmax in the rcsb. There's a ton of good info on here and knowledgable people to help with the lsx build. And I'm sure it will draw a lot of attention once you start a build thread and add some pics.

And I'm sure it will draw a lot of attention once you start a build thread and add some pics. thanks and thanks.... yea its a shame that its so expensive. motor hard parts wise, its not TERRIBLE pricing. but fuel, air, suspension and steering is absolutely retarded. along with tuning. unless you tune yourself. why original intentions were to throw the 6.6 into a RC/SB 2500 frame. but i would still be to heavy. so i thought about the 1500 frame. but there are to many electronic variables to consider. its very possible though. and i know there are several guys who have done it. but F-that. thats why i went with an LSX block and my old high school silverado. should be a good feeling driving that thing down the track!

That would be a better option for higher boost applications than a 454 (due to narrow ring landings and such a long stroke) as far as the trans goes, i have already sold the stock 4l60e. i thought about the 80e but i wil opt for a powerglide instead. the truck will not be streetable with the powerglide and a trans brake. but thats why its a "dedicated" drag truck. i will keep the build up to date here, yellow bullet and LS1.
