Did you put that in yourself?Interesting! I have an LC Engineering Stage 5 Pro Stroker (plus additional Mods) motor pulling 285 HP (without the "Juice") and I am always curious about what other people do to their motors. I run modified WEBER DCOE 45 carbs because I am not into FI or Turbos.
I've built more than one of them.
From 1989 to 1991 while I was stationed in San Diego Ca. I had a 87 2wd Toyota std cab truck that I built into a class 7S Baja runner, which at that time was a stock truck with minimum modifications. With 4 single bbl side draft Webbers, longtube headers, a 6 row radiator, dry sump oil system, Jacobs electronic ign., modified harmonic balancer, and heavier fly wheel I pulled 323hp out of a factory engine.
7S: Vehicles built from a 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive mini or mid-sized pickup having a maximum stock wheelbase of 127''.
Horsepower: 175-265
Wheel Travel: 12 Front, 16-20 Rear
Weight: 3200-4000
Top Speed: 100+
Basic Rules:
Suspensions Components:
- Front and Rear suspension must be of the same manufacturer, shape, size and configuration as the stock vehicle being used.
- All suspension components except shocks and rear leaf springs will reamin in original stock locations and mounting methods.
- A-arms, I-beams, and front axles must remain stock length; material may be added for strength and stock mounting locations retained.
- Rear springs may be lengthened to that of the longest stock production rear leaf spring as delivered by the manufacturer. (57 1/2")
Engine:
- Must be of the same manufacturer basic design and type with a max of 6 cylinders.
- Must use the stock block and cylinder heads as delivered for highway use from the manufacturer.
- Updating and predating is allowed within the vehicle chassis and body series.
- Maximum displacement of 3000cc.
After the truck was destroyed in 1990 during my second Baja 500 I decided I was gonna get serious about running the Baja and compete in the 1000 so we built the truck into a Sportsman class truck running a 22 RTE burning engineered fuel and pushing 527hp on a dyno. Unfortunately the Gulf war intervened before I got to go racing and after returning home from the middle east I received orders to Italy so I sold the truck to a friend of mine. I assume it's still racing as the last I heard it was part of the "Blue Coyote" racing team.
Sportsman Truck: Open trucks that are usually pre-runners. There are rule variations between sanctioning organizations. Specs may vary greatly.
Horsepower: 150-300+
Wheel Travel: 13-20 Front, 14-30 Rear
Weight: 3000-4500 Pounds
Top Speed: 110+
Since then I've built over a dozen different PreRunner and Lowrider Toyota trucks with high performance 22R engines. It's an inexpensive engine to build and run, even when their hotrodded their still capable of returning good fuel mileage and decent performance. No their not a V-12 with 1200hp but they get the job done decently and when you have a good trans and proper rear end gearing they can be impressive.
