you are correct, my bad. it is a 3.75 crank with the 5.7 rods in lew of the 6s .i had a bill mitchell hardcore 454 smallblock in here 1st .the 454 has a 4.25 crank in it http://www.theengineshop.com/ < refrence there i thought that the 400 was a 4" stroke. i was mistaken. its 3.75, team c in whittier biult the motor. http://www.teamc.com/ we used the heads off of the 454 motown cause they flow 310 cfm per cyl. there the 202 motowns but bill mitchell opens them up more for the 454. the originel 383 i sent in was .060 over but the sonic check revealed some weak spots so i had to buy a new block with stock bores. pic of original motor by the way .those motors are awsom but the thin cyl walls do not lend themselves to duning espeacially when harvs dyno and tune fs up your car that motor got me 420 to the rear wheels and it was fun i miss that motor. but some times with all that i start quoting specs from the 454 forgetting i have the 383 and thank you for the compliment.......... i like talking horse power........................

even in cali its not a prob you do up the paper work as a new homebiult rail they send you to the hwy patrol for inspection. return the paperwork, and there you go. now you got a 2006 sand rail P.S. : Do not tell them what you paid for it or it will hurt.

do you have anything of importance to say ?? the fingers are not a freeway. the fingers are not duneable area they are all within camp limits which requires you to go slow. I am an old schooler im 42 and been going duning since diapers and an old school rule was you didnt haulass around peoples camps. you didnt create dust where you camp or others. you want to haul a$$ grow up and go to the big dunes. people are using cones (im not ) to protect because of people who cant follow rules.You dont like the rules go to the blm . Richard i do not know you but you are giving every indication that you are one of the many disrespectfull a$$hats out there. you do not have a right to haul a$$ on the fingers those are peoples camps. if people had respect like the old days people wouldnt need them. there is no respect for peoples camps nowadays i becon you to refer to resident blondes post. I do agree with you however on the rebar. pismo in the 70s/80s (before the closures) is nothing like dumont ss with all respects sir(< no that isnt sarcasm} you could let your kids go on the backside of camp away from the ocean and no one would bother them and if you did you were liable to get the crap knocked outa you.i could ride till i collapsed and never be in danger. and it wasnt just flat ground what the hell are the kids gonna learn on flat ground. maybe just maybe the ones without kids should camp away from the fingers. aaaaaaa two way street i see. we do take our kids on a heavily protected dune rides on the flats around to north pole and through the lil valley by comp. we have a good time . its funny my simple disagreement. has turned into this . lol i dont use cones rebar or tape but as i stated i think parents should use RUBBER cones. i think they should leave traveld way up on top and i think that they should allow an escape for someone who gets stuck . they dont own it but i dont object to the way they protect there children. it has forced alot of people to slow down on the fingers i like that. PS : Richard dont act victimized on the name callin you refered to me as a drunk who doesnt watch his children i swear you rattle just to make noise -

Let me say that DDR were great neighbors never rude and im not attacking anyones beliefs i have an opinion and i gave it .However some people think im attacking DDR or complaining i merely have a difference of opinion. For those who have duned for alot of years things are changing and a$$hats are plentifull and because of this i feel the way i do about cones (NOT REBAR FFS ) but that doesnt mean that i am angry at the next guy for feeling differently With that said because i have a diffrent opinion doesnt mean im a drunk or neglecting my kids and i need some sort of rubber babysitter. that is rude and uncalled for . just agree to disagree................. -

Richard Cheez are you really that stupid ???? a: i agree rebar is bad slow down and read my post. b: Do you know what you are ranting about? c: to help you along ill state my point clearly i think its smart to rubber cone half of the side hills for the kids so they are not hurt by geniuses that think the fingers are a place to haul a$$ around camps. so you take my post and decide that im out drinking and ignoring my kids. and that 1 broken rule thats CONSTANTLY broken, and almost a killed a kid last year should not infringe on your comfort zone ??? genius pure genius as you can see in this pic we had nothing up at all we were right next to ddr you would no that except............................. o ya you wernt there! so your flappin about what exactly ??? ddr ( to help you along ) is right on the otherside of that motorhome with the box trailer. and i will add that ddr were great neighbors . so your feelin all defensive about what i dunno . im aloud an opinion so if your attacking my opinion why go off on so many diferent directions ??? -

this my car i call it "draggin tales" its an eyeball fabrication phantom it has 20" front on bypasses and 23" rear on bypasses chromoly frame powersteering mendeola sequential trans with a 383 ci chevy small block with eagle 4" stroke crank, eagle rods ,je pistons, pro comp cam, gear drive, mowtown hardcore aluminum heads that flow 310 cfm per cyl, and 871 don hampton blower and f.a.s.t. fuel injection it puts out 600hp to the rear wheels. conservatively it can do much more but it would be un duneable . im turning it down its running 15lbs boost im going down to 10 - 12lbs. hallowen was its first trip on new motor. i put seat heaters in , navigation, and a stereo. i like it its scary fast. its the advertising car in sand sport for eyeball fab , and its in the "sand dreams" throttle junkey video, and its here http://eyeballfab.com/

well fyi our camp there was no rebar on the hill or tape or cones. that was the camp next to us. 2 camps from you guys we were next door and although i think roping the finger halfway is prudent i do not believe that rebar is safe or proper to use on the hill like that. i believe our neighbors were using rubber cones im not honestly sure......................... -
so if its low to the ground it is unsafe ???? :shocked2: it rides rough but not unsafe and if you refer yourself to 25 mph thread youll see i bagged a lil on beam cars . well that car would jar you like nobodies bussiness. people were amazed it made it to the wall. but you felt like this when you got there>>> so ease up your awfully defensive over nothing.............................. i was trying to convey that it was rough riding but that car craft did an excellent job on the turbo system. p.s. no one ever did figure out why the front was so low it had full springs lastest rag beam no one purposely lowered it we were pulling our hair out trying to figure out how to raise it

true, but when we got to the top we backed off, rolled at an angle over the dune, and crept down the other side. we didnt go blindly over or go haulin a$$ down the road on the top. What does that have to do with the kids? that was in front of our camp and we know where are kids were. We didnt fly over the other side. at least my car certainly did not! and people in my camp didnt section anything off . and if you know of a way to get my car to slow roll up that hill at a portly 2800 lbs im all ears i doubt that the red car flew over the other side either. the whole point of this is that i disagree. that people should section off at least halfway. its only an opinion but its mine . and i kinda seriuosly doubt that we even were able to break the in camp limit on that lil hill goosin it to get over the top. we could have gone up on the short hill by your camp but there was alot of kids riding there and i certainly didnt want to drive up on them. -
:shocked2: :fro: and by the way there was nothing unsafe about that sand car so you are isinuating.............................................
