That looks great.

Got the grill today, I still need to fill in the logo hole and paint it.

 

[95-12valve]

Subscribed, looking good! Wish I could have done a 3rd gen for my half ton...

Looking good!

Thanks guys, I am about to go on days off so I should be able to get more work done on it.

 

[displacedtexan]

Thank goodness you see the need for more tire! I wasn't going to comment about it b/c "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all". LOL

This is CompD...

Just been wet sanding and buffing everything up the last couple days...

 

[wildman6bt]

Dang my turbo cleaned up well LOL.

 

[SPEEDSHIFT]

Yeah, only took a few hours of sanding by hand. Lol

 

[SPEEDSHIFT]

After a couple days of painting, rewiring, wet sanding, buffing, and waxing... It looks like this... And the radio works correctly. Lol

 

[Gasoline Sucks]

looks awesome

 

[Schrowang]

the fender wells look huge with that tire/wheel combo.

 

[SPEEDSHIFT]

Yeah, the tires look like crap. From what I've heard the 12v will lower the front 2" and I'll lower the back 2" as well. Then go to a 305/40/22 tire and it should be perfect for what I want.

Looks great!

Alright... so here is the drive train build I have in mind now...

Engine:
maxed 160pump
5gsk
dvs????
5x.020 injectors
he341/S480 w/ external 38mm gate
regrind cam
60lb springs
port and polish head
stock head bolts
o-ringed block
Air Dog 200

Trans:
TFOD-3 full manual VB kit
Transtar S5 Billet TD low stall converter
Billet input shaft
Billet servos, accumulator, strut, and anchor
4.2 apply lever
Red Eagle clutches
DTT Billet FP

I would really like this truck to be around 7-800hp on fuel, and be able to spray into the 900hp range as I would love to get the truck into the 10s one day. Most of these parts I already have, which is why I am using them on this build.

Any unforseen problems with this build list?

I'd invest in Titanium retainers and keepers.

TITANIUM RETAINERS AND HEAVY DUTY KEEPERS Haisley Machine

 

[SPEEDSHIFT]

Almost done with this beotch!

How did you go about removing equal amounts of material from each port? Or is it just basically just shooting in the dark?

Looks gasket matched, notice the gasket on exhaust port far left?

I started building the hot pipe for the twins today. I am not sure if they are too close together... I will wrap everything and prob make some heat shields as well... Opinions?

Yes I will be building a hell-a-mount for the primary.
