Re: best Mods

Are you the Rubber Ducky hehehe
Nice lookin mud machine you got there
Diggin the homemade stirups...like gettin on a horse

Best mod so far for me has got to be my FI454 built for lowend torque and the fuel injection is sooo awesome to drive = ZERO hesitation!
I am currently installing crossover/highsteer w/Hydo assist on a D60front along with a 14FFd so that will be sweet to be OneTon to match the BBC I have...

I really like my line lock for the front brakes, it is a Mico Lever-Lock. You can see it in this pic on the left, it is red:

Helps alot for hill climbs when you have to stop..I have a 4speed so the line lock alows me to take my foot off the brake to work the throttle & clutch
One last thought would be my Warn winch...has come in handy many time for me and my buddys I wheel with.
Have a great weekend!
Burt

Re: best Mods

My best mods have been the 454 and the hydroboost and hydraulic clutch that I added at the same time.

Burt, how do you like that Pro Flo system? I've got the 3551.

My best mod is the 5 speed, but the EFI'd 496 is a close second. I'll post pics as soon as I figure out how.

Re: best Mods

Re locating gas tank, 4wheel disks and guages. The 383 stroker isn't a big block but is a nice addition to the truck. Oh and I love my visor.
