Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Surf Blue

Damn...didn't see a sell coming. If I may ask, what did it sell for? I just want to know how upset to be considering I didn't know.

Re: Surf Blue

Nice truck and nice build thread thanx for all the useful info. I've subscribed and refrenced this thread several times in the short period that I have had my truck. My build is very similar to yours and I was wondering if the cups on your front baggs are welded, bolted to the lower control arms or do they just rest there in the pocket. I have already had everything powdercoated and I'm hoping they will be fine just sitting in there without welding. Again thank you.

The standard is to just set them in place. Just like w/the coils, the weight of the truck will keep them from moving around.

Re: Surf Blue

Do you have lowering blocks or is that just bags in the rear?

Re: Surf Blue

Thanks for answering SCOTI.



Currently "I" do not have lowering blocks in the back since I don't own the truck anymore.

However when I still had it , Yes it did have 2" lowering blocks out back.

Re: Surf Blue

Thanks I appreciate it. Yea I read your post when you sold it my heart sunk to find out it was leaving Texas. My truck will be a different color and its a GMC so it won't be exactly like yours but I love the stance. Oh and up front just the normal cups or did you cut them down any? Well the Riviera will get all the attention now so I can't wait to see what you do to it.
