Wylder1324 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Just added this beauty to the stable. Will be flying up to Las Vegas in the fall at which time my brother, best friend and I will be taking a 10 day road trip back down to SE Texas with the 620 as well as my 320 for what should be a life altering experience as we rough it via camping gear all the way home. The 320 is already in Vegas getting some restoration and modification done (check the thread in the 320 section) and although the newly acquired 620 doesn't need a whole lot she will get a few fine tuned addition as well so stay tuned.

Master-O-Turbonics Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 That thing has been for sale for quite a while. Quote Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Nice truck. I wish I had that sort of money to spend. Mind buying me a Z? Quote Link to comment
Wylder1324 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Yeah they originally wanted WAY too much $ for it and I arguable probably paid too much myself at $9k but considering the extensive receipts of over 40k invested I don't feel TOO bad about it. The V-8 should be fun. I was honestly in the market for a KC to do this to because I like not only the look better but the added bit of space behind the seat but there is no way I could have gotten a 620 to this stage for $9k and I would venture to say its one of if not THE cleanest 620 around…..although not completely original obviously.

Dat Lurka Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 What is it? 350 with forward distributor? Quote Link to comment
Wylder1324 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 No its actually a 215 Small Block Buick which is legendary for weighing in at only 300lbs. While not as powerful as a 350 in this truck even the 215 is probably overkill. Electronic fuel injected too which is a nice touch Quote Link to comment
Wylder1324 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Next phase is to add A/C, power steering, spray in Line-X in the bed of the truck, lighting on the roll bar, carpet the interior (or possibly Line-X w/ custom carpeted mats), Line-X coated side step bars, and a decent stereo system and I think we will call her a finished product.

Dat Lurka Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I thought it was Buick but I don't know my GM v8s too well. I was looking at a Starfire with the 215. Plenty of power for that truck. I've always wanted one like that and one real clean and low. Quote Link to comment

Ricky116 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 wow that is beautiful. My neighbor is swapping that motor into his roadster. He has a z 5 speed for it. What does an L motor weigh anyhow? The difference can be to much. Quote Link to comment
