The reason I am still up in the air is because of the gas prices. I want the speed but at the same time I want the truck to be a daily driver. The 396 would kill at the pump but my dilemma really is that I think I could do the engine drop for not to much more money. I could see that right now if I keep the 6 that eventually i will want the HP anyway and do something like this. I plan on keeping this truck for a long time. I have wanted this truck since I was a little john. I have a 3.90 w/posi that I will put in her. I have a 4.11 right now w/o the posi. So the 700r4 seems to be the reasonable thing to do. I would maybe go for a three with OD if I could find one.
