Got this truck as a pretty bone stock rust free truck. 210k miles, few compound turbo configurations, some nitrous, about 50 1/4 mile passes and lost an oil squirter/swelled piston and scuffed #1 cylinder. Pulled the engine for a rebuild and things went from there. When engine was out I decided to cut the frame off at the stock firewall location and splice on the front frame of a 2004 ram 1500. Brief rundown of the build so far:
-5 lug hubs, aluminium upper A-arms, manual r+p steering, dual piston caliper front brakes
-15:1 compression mahle wide bowl cast pistons, hamilton 188/220 cam, ported and polished head. Fire ringed block, girdle, moved 17.5" rearward in chassis
-62/68 .7 T3 under 88/96 1.32 T6
-13mm pump, 5x22 injectors
-mvb 47rh
-3.55 Dana 80 with locker, stock drum brakes
-caltracs
-10 point roll cage
-fiberglass hood and front fenders
-lexan rear and side windows
-12gal fuel cell
-RPM Performance datalogger
Right now I am still finishing up putting the front of the truck back together, it should be ready to race again in a few weeks. Tons more details to the build, feel free to ask. Just listed the basics. Once I get it finished and running consistent and reliable I plan to do hot rod drag week or rocky mountain race week with it.
