Haul Your Truck To The Track Or Just Plain Haul With Smeding’s Chevy 383 Vortec Truck Engine

By Anonymous

August 12, 2004 -- Do you need some serious power? Do you need a great drop-in crate motor that will provide you with gobs of power and 4X4 sport truck fun? Well, Smeding Performance has the motor for your 1996 to 2000 truck, the Chevy 383 Vortec truck engine.

This Smeding crate engine is not a rebuild. The Chevy 383 Vortec starts out with a brand-new GM 350 4-bolt-main block. This block is modified to accept a new nodular iron crankshaft and steel connecting rods. The rotating assembly is spin balanced to within 1 gram to assure smooth operation and longer engine life. The stroked Chevrolet small-block engine produces serious power right off idle, with 18% improvement in horsepower and torque over stock.

To create all that bottom-end torque, Smeding specially modifies the small but efficient Vortec cylinder heads to precisely match the flow characteristics of a .427-inch-lift cam. The heads feature 1.94 and 1.50 stainless valves and roller-tip rockers.

A hypereutectic, graphite-coated piston is used, along with moly rings, to assure a better combustion seal and virtually no piston scuffing. The stroker engine is assembled with a new roller timing gear set, Melling oil pump and Fel-Pro gaskets.

Smeding’s 383 Vortec Stroker crate engine is perfect for going out and going off road or just out in your sport truck. It features 9.3:1 compression, so it can run all day on pump gas. And to reduce maintenance demands, Smeding uses a hydraulic camshaft. There’s no valve lash to set, so vehicle owners can treat this engine just like the one in a brand-new vehicle.

Smeding sells the 383 Vortec Stroker for $3,995, which comes with a standard one-year limited warranty.

Smeding Performance specializes in building reliable, low-maintenance crate engines for truck, car and marine applications. These engines are not rebuilds: All Smeding crate engines feature brand-new engine blocks and brand-new premium components. For more information, contact Smeding Performance, Dept. ___, 3340 Sunrise Blvd. #E, Rancho Cordova, CA 95742, 916-638-0899, www.smedingperformance.com.

YOUR COLLEGE ON WHEELS

By June McHardy

YOUR COLLEGE ON WHEELS
by June McHardy

It is said that once most people leave school they make the
decision that their learning days are over. Most of them
will seldom ever read another non-fiction book, therefore
missing out on one of the greatest resources for boosting
their career goals. They don't realize that reading and
constantly learning will keep them mentally alert and
younger, their memory will improve, they'll be more
decisive, smarter and quicker - in short, constant learning
is considered one of the prime success skills.

...And reading books about a specific subject that is of
interest to you regarding your career can give you an added
bonus! When you study and learn more about a favorite topic
you give your confidence a boost. You can very quickly
become an authority in the field. Do you think that this
would advance your career goals? You bet it would!

Another tip is to try always to read material written by
someone with hands-on experience in the field, rather than
just theory. The same things goes for seminars or courses.
The person who has been "through the mill" has a lot more to
offer you.

By now you're probably saying "But I just don't have the
time to read any books!" Well, one way would be to reduce
the amount of time you spend reading the newspaper or
watching TV. . . or you could get up a half hour earlier
each day to read undisturbed and, as Brian Tracy says, "milk
the golden hour"

But by far the most powerful way of finding the time to read is making your car your "College on Wheels". We all know that we spend thousands of hours a year driving to and from work. Most people will listen to the radio. But what if you took this time to listen to books on tape? Or what if you listened to tapes on your subjects of interest by experts in the field? By the end of the year you could have the equivalent of 2 college semesters! Another added bonus of listening to tapes in your car is that the stress of the drive will decrease and you'll actually arrive feeling more refreshed and relaxed.

Careful though, you can become addicted to this successful habit! So start now. It's never too late to become success-oriented!

TAILGATORZ LAUNCHES A ONE-OF-A-KIND PRODUCT TARGETING TAILGATING FANS AND TRUCK OWNERS

By Anonymous

REDONDO BEACH, Calif., June 15, 2003 – TailGatorz, Inc. (http://www.tailgatorz.com), a leading manufacturer of truck accessories, today announced the launch of the company’s patent-pending tailgate chair. A first of its kind, the TailGatorz chair provides back support by way of a comfortable, practical and durable furniture solution for pickup trucks of any size. The chair easily adjusts to the tailgate of trucks and folds to fit into a bag that easily stores behind the drivers seat of the truck, available for quick access. The TailGatorz Ultimate Tailgate Chair retails for $49.95 and is available in a variety of colors.

"This is a product that is long overdue for the truck," said Jon Jurgens, President of TailGatorz Inc. "Ever since the introduction of the pickup truck, regardless of where people are, camping, events, etc; the sensible place to sit is on the tailgate. “Our TailGatorz chair is designed as an accessory that works with any truck creating an instant seating environment -- all while providing the much needed support and comfort people seek.”

The Tailgate chair attaches to the tailgate of a truck via scratch-resistant nylon-plastic hooks. The frame of the chair is composed of anodized aluminum to prevent weathering or rusting. A comfortable, yet durable denier 600 fabric is used for the backing material. The chair incorporates back support and provides such features as adjustable hooks to allow for different-sized users. Furthermore, the chair uniquely folds up and is easily stored in a bag (included).

“With truck sales surpassing auto sales in 2002, we have seen a boom in the truck accessory industry”, says Tom Myroniak, Director of Marketing, SEMA.

According to the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), rising truck and sport-utility sales have been accompanied by booming sales of aftermarket components. This trend, accompanied by record-breaking attendance at events such as NASCAR races, validates the ever-increasing truck enthusiast population. The TailGatorz Ultimate Tailgate Chair will ideally complement the needs of the truck community who desire the best seat in the house – their tailgate.

Jon Jurgens, founder of TailGatorz, created the chair after spending countless weekends outdoors hunched over the tailgate of his truck. Lawn chairs and stick chairs were simply not practical and furthermore they were uncomfortable and cumbersome. His frustration resulted in the development of a chair designed for comfort and convenience while offering back support at the same time. The TailGatorz chair easily folds up to store behind the seat of any truck.

The TailGatorz chair is available at many truck accessory retailers across the United States or can be purchased directly from the manufacturer at www.TailGatorz.com.
