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.
