Kind regards

Thanks Tinkermc! I am in the process of having my engine built, and I am looking into finding a good manual trans that will handle 510+ ft. lbs of torque! Hopefully I'll be able to find a Tremec TKO, spec-25, or a good muncie.

Kind regards

Mine had a mouse nest, as well as bumble bees in it, crazy what will take up in a truck that has sat out in a field for a few years...

naphtali5725 · 05-31-2012, 09:56 AM

Waiting to hear from porter built on some suspension pieces for my truck, I'm pretty sure I'll be changing the rear suspension from leaf spring to track bar style. I'll probably swap in the whole front crossmember from my 86 C10 Silverado, so i'll have disc brake and power steering.
