the engine isnt quite done yet,it is actually a 6.0 bored and stroked to a 408cid small block,should net me close to 525 hp and tq #'s,be dependable and be able to handle a small shot of the juice on top of it all.

for now there is a basicly stock 5.3 with some fuel system mods and computer tune to get the truck moving.
engine parts are wiping out the reserve $$

well, and im not gonna have the wheel disc brakes yet,taking a little longer to figure that one out.so just pinion brakes for now.

Before and After:

Quite a bit of sweat, time and $$ in that thing now -

Nice!

k-nuts · 07-09-2009, 08:50 PM

Nice! I won't ask how you put the top on & off, or the hood!

tallhoedude · 07-10-2009, 07:14 AM

The hood isnt so bad with two guys standng on the tires.

the top however will be a different story.
i dont have a hardtop,not sure if a softtop will fit with my cage.i am looking for a nice hardtop to put on.

will prob use either forklift or loader to put on and off.
