My project truck
 

I thought I'd post some pictures of my project truck so far. It's a 94 12v 2wd. I cut the frame down and put a short bed on it. Next I completely gutted it and built a cage. I swapped out the Dana 70 for a aam 11.5 with 2nd gen brakes to clear the 16" rims.

I kept it pretty simple on the inside. Installed the cage, a seat and a shifter.

Transmission wise I went with a fully built Goerend with a constant pressure manual vb and a suncoast tail piece. Tc is a triple disc with a 2600 rpm stall.

For the engine I stripped it down changed all the gaskets and painted it. I sent the pump off to Seth to get maxed out. It's a 160 pump and he put full cuts in it and modified the afc. With 5ks it flowed 480ish. I went with 5x22 single feed scheid injectors. I have a 5 gallon fuel cell and a Airdog 165. I bought a Hamilton 181/210 cam and 150# valve springs.

Nice build.

I went with a s366/80/.91 and a s482/96/1.32. I also put a 3rd gen intercooler on it and built a dual intake horn. I vbanded everything but the intercooler.

Thank you sir. Here's another pic of the engine. I had to use a universal all aluminum radiator to clear the intercooler.

Here is a picture of the engine when I brought it home. It's came a long way haha

Got the hood stack built today.

Oh yeah, that thing is going to fly!

Looks good. What size is that radiator?

Just curious was the aam a direct swap?

I hope so but I honestly have no idea what it's going to run. Any guesses/ideas?

I bought it on eBay. It's a 31x19"

No it took some work to make it fit. The perches were wider on the aam. I just cut them off and moved them in. I also moved the front facing shock mount to the rear.

Here's a picture from the back when I first put it in. I also lowered it and removed all but two leaf springs. I built a set of trac bars too. I hope it hooks haha

Was it worth the fab work? It looks like you used the stock brackets. Also on the second gen brakes. How hard was that to swap? I have a chance to get one cheap seems the front axles could swap right in and take a set of 3.42s

I'm still a little ways from having it done so I'm not sure yet. I got the aam for the strength and the disc brakes. I got a really good deal on it. I gutted the parking brake parts and it has a lot less drag now!..on jack stands anyways

That's why I am thinking about swapping to one. Strength. They are much cheaper then Dana 80s and the disk brake are easier to find

I know the aam is a lot heavier than the Dana 70. That is the only downside id say.
