Its weird to see trucks that look like mine, just aren't to many around anymore. The body looks like its in good condition, I sure could use some parts off of it..

it was 100% straight no rust! insides looked brand new! I even had a full grill in box from Mopar! They dont even sell anymore. HAD fully built 727 trans and new built 360ci, big cam, ported/shaved/stock heads. Cranked it up once and moved away. never even drove it with the new parts! i got a 9.4 1/8th out of the old 318ci with 2.73 gears lol

I would be curious to see what it would run with the new setup, maybe mid/high 8's in the 1/8?

That intake would be sick, but may be out of my price range for now. I don't want to get to crazy with this truck, I mainly want to break 13's, I may just be a good dyno tune away from that

No stall in it, It seems the 224 cam is popular in the chevy trucks.

before I do any performance mods I need to fix the rear, My last trip to gateway fried the posi I think, the rebuild kit for it is only $60, but depending on what is all damaged I may just get a new posi from auburn

Damn man that is nice!

Making me think about putting in a LS1 in my 02 dodge ram. The 5.9 is great, no problems ever but would like more hp/tq and mileage.

Can't wait to see it runs mid 13's. A tune and a convertor and you are there.
