Re: '62 Unibody LSR
Saw a brief mention of it whilst perusing that issue in the store the other day, but the latest issue(#50, Feb/2012) of CKD (Car Kulture Deluxe) has a feature on Tim's truck!!

Re: '62 Unibody LSR
Classic trucks did a story on "Bonneville Trucks" and both Jake and the '58 made it. 

It also says "watch for a feature on his Uni in an upcoming issue".

Re: '62 Unibody LSR
Just a little update. This year we built a new engine for the Uni LSR, this time with 14:1 compression and a set of Mummert aluminum heads. End result was a best pass of 147.195 mph. Not too bad for a 50+ year old farm truck with an obsolete clunky old Y-Block.
Here's some video

Tim that thing sounds so nasty idling. Best sounding Y I have ever heard.
Congrats on the 147 mph. As was said, 150 is mighty close. Go for it! TR

Re: '62 Unibody LSR
Tim,
Thanks for all the great build pix for the 2013 Y-block. Great to see real hot rodders out there doing it like it should be done. Congrats on the 147 mph blast and best of luck in the future. Your truck is bad to the bone, bud. Tell your friends to go have a look at the new story at www.hotrodenginetech.com JB
