No engine work planned on it for now. Truck came stock with 170HP 305; 4.8 put out 285HP. Thats plenty enough for me. I will put headers on it but this is about all expense around engine bay planned for now. Who knows what might happen later on... I will do rear gears or end swap too; Truck has 273 gears now and plan is to go with min 342 gears. With wheel and tire size of 2005 and my plans; 342 come out about same gear ratio with 2005 being 373 gears. 05 was driver when I got it and I liked 373 on it. I might even go to 373 on square but then its going to be already too much fun.
