Ye-Beast
after forty-two years on the road with a V8 engine conversion and four
V8 engines progressing from a
stock Chevy 327, 235hp to a Chevy 350 bored and stroked
to 383 cubic inches, 470hp and 500 ft-lbs torque. And, transmissions
progressed from a Muncie four-speed to a Tremec 3550 five-speed with
a .68 fifth gear ratio. Ye Beast loves to cruise at 95mph - about 2700rpm.
It is a project of continual upgrades to new technologies. Current
upgrade projects have been
rear suspension upgrade
to 3 inch wider track and higher spring rate, followed by the
front suspension upgrade
& disc brakes conversion, and finally (but not last) a true HID 8000K HI/LOW BI-XENON beam headlight conversion
along with LED running lights.
