Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Ok guys....got the drivetrain in and mostly done......and now notice that's not an ls3....after all the money I spent on the black widow clone next to it .....it was decided to run the true 10 to 1 patriot headed ram jet 355 I had on the stand....the 8-9k price difference between what I wanted and this drivetrain was the deciding factor for the time being....the plan is to eventually put the 355 in the widow and "ls" the truck..not a problem going back since I set this truck up for ls....the 355/700r combo was ran in a 55 orange 2 dr wagon on last years Power Tour...3100 miles in a week....so it's been tested........Oh yeah the intake is still at Advanced in Nashville.....yeah I've been accused of "blinging" things!.........jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Nothing wrong with conserving a little (or a lot) of cash once in a while! And it will be nice to know you have something that is "known" dependable under the hood while you work out the inevitable other kinks that always show up initially on a build. Looking good! Still have to be some of my favorite wheels ever

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Jim, Did you ever figure out the issue with the headers? I am hopefully picking mine up from the exhaust guy today. I will load some pictures of the final assembly when I get them.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Jim,
I have to say, you are an inspiration to me. I've been toying with ideas and colors for my truck and frame. And I must say, that after seeing your Frame in silver, That is the way I am going. Killer! I'm also tossing around the idea of so Hydro dipping over some of the parts...
