Well today we got the cab and bed off. Got the motor and tranny off of the frame and the frame taken out of the garage. It had a 74 C20 3/4 ton frame with a 12 bolt. I am picking up a S10 frame with 72 ford f150 9" for 100$. So I will start with that. Here are some pics of us getting the stuff off.

Here are 2 more with the cab and bed off. I have to work for the next 2 weekends, so the truck is put on the back burner for 2-3 weeks.

Well I haven't made any head way as far as work on. The body in the past two weeks due to being on 12hr shifts with no days off and I picked up a 2nd job to help fund this. But with that 2nd job comes more parts. My back half kit shipped a couple of days ago and I put a third down on this little gem WWW.Wrenchrat.com stage 1 twin Turbo kit with turbontics 62-1 turbos, 2 tial f41 wastegates and tial 50mm BOV. I have went from the 454 and am doing a twin turbo 383 stroker.

The twin turbo sounds very cool. Should look sweet on the engine.

Should be fun. Shooting for 600-700 HP on pump gas and water/Meth injection and 900-1000 HP on race gas. Not that ill drive it around on that but I'd like to see what it does on race gas.

Here is a pic of the twin turbo setup

Here is a link to the you tube video of one of there setups

YouTube - CHEVY TWIN TURBO KIT - WRENCHRAT

The compression of the engine was 8.5:1 and we ran 24lbs of boost with 110 octane fuel from a local pump and a water/methanol system from Snow's. The street driving scene was on 15lbs of boost, pump gas and water/methanol, it was to uncontrollable with high boost. Check out the latest April 2011 Car Craft magazine for our article, its on the stands. They made 900+rwhp and 900+rwtq with a stock block 355sbc, AFR227's and 21lbs of boost.

I'm wondering if you cant widen the rear fenders and running boards?
Are they in pretty bad shape?

[busarich]
