Back In Black
Jerry McMullan is a long-time Chevy fan, and when he wanted to find a cool daily driver, he knew two things. The first was that the vehicle would be a Chevy, and the second was that he knew it had to be black. Having been the proud owner of a couple of previous ’67-’72 Chevys (a ’70 Chevelle SS and a ’70 El Camino SS), he knew that that the style suited him, so he thought that a pickup from those years would be just right for what he had in mind. After a little searching, he came across this ’71 Chevy Cheyenne. McMullan says that the truck was in fair condition when he purchased it (for the now-reasonable, though still hard to believe, price of $11,000), and thus began his three-year odyssey of building his perfect pickup.
PROJECT ’67
In the long continuation of our Project ’67, the 1967 Chevrolet C10 buildup, several major components and systems have been previously addressed, most notably the Goodwrench LQ4 6.0-liter 366ci Escalade engine buildup by Arizona Speed & Marine. This included the versatile Magnuson Radix supercharger, 4L60E transmission and numerous performance parts and accessories. Continuing along those performance lines and all-out fashion, we would need to contend with the great amount of power this engine package would deliver. Initially, we can’t say that the stock brakes on the C10 were ever designed for the shear torque that would be applied to these assemblies, so it would eventually be necessary to address the stopping performance as well as the go performance. And, after all, brake upgrading was a part of this project plan from the beginning.

Whether you’re running stock injectors or pushing massive 300cc setups, the Adrenaline is a bolt-on powerhouse designed to boost your truck’s pulling capability, fuel economy, startup performance, and horsepower across the board. Even factory-tuned engines feel the difference.
Built for Power. Engineered for Longevity.
This isn’t just a replacement pump—it’s a performance solution. Each Adrenaline unit features custom internals and upgraded design components to deliver maximum output from a single housing, while enhancing durability over the stock pump. Unlike factory cast aluminum housings—known for common failures like internal cavitation, gear breakdowns, and cracking—DIESELSITE’s exclusive billet housing eliminates those weaknesses with precision-machined strength.
No Guesswork. Every Pump Tested.
Every Adrenaline pump undergoes strict flow-rate testing before it ever leaves the shop—no exceptions, no compromises. It’s this attention to detail that gives users peace of mind, whether they’re on the work site or the drag strip.
Tailored to Your Build
Output Options:
- Slightly Larger Than Stock (Stock to 190cc): Perfect for daily drivers who want durability without overkill. This model features the same internal upgrades as the high-output version, minus the extra flow.
- High Volume Adrenaline (190cc–205cc+): Built for bigger injectors and bigger goals. Proven up to 300cc in high-performance applications, this version ensures your fuel system is always ready for the next stage of your build.
What’s Included:
- Inlet O-Ring (bottom of pump)
- Outlet O-Ring (top of pump)
- D-Ring for J-Tube (into the cover)
Confidence That Lasts
Backed by a 3-year unlimited warranty, the Adrenaline pump is covered for anything short of abuse or tampering. It’s just one more way DIESELSITE ensures that you’re not just buying a part—you’re investing in proven reliability.
