The Money Pit!!!! Well Im finally decided to make a build thread. So far the money pit is at my buddies shop getting a little bit of body work done to it. But my plans for this is to build a 500 horse daily driver/street truck. This truck wont be a quick build due to me having to build my old ladies honda, deal with contractors on my house thats getting built, and still work 10 hour days. I will be running a lm7 out of a 03 tahoe, but will be converting it over to a cable throttlebody, eagle rotating assembly, AFR heads, Holley Midrise Intake 92mm throttle body, crane cam most likely with a .600 lift, Havent found a set of headers yet but still looking, msd ignition coils, electric water pump and fans, with a corvette radiator, with a decent t56, nv3500 or something similar to move this beast down the road. But enough with the boring words heres some pics.

On the headers I would go with the Stainlessworks longtubes from current perforamce. They're 1 7/8'ths & stainless & u get the option for v- bands too. Def pricey but we'll worth it. Use the truck starter & you will have to clearance the bell & probably dent a primary tube but that should be it.

Thanks, im really pushing to have this thing running by this spring and completely bagged by the summer. And thanks for the advice, I will definitely take at look at them when i get to the shop tonight. Hopefully i can get the tires mounted and see what im working with in the rear i thing i may have to shorten the rear to tuck those 10.5.. lol do you have a build thread on yours?

I haven't started a build thread on here yet but I'm going to soon. I actually just dropped off all my engine related stuff at the machine shop so I will have some updated pics soon.
If I remember right I think u can fit 10.5's under w/o modification or maybe it's a 2nd gen that you can tuck the 10.5's.

Those Eastwood fender rolling tools work really slick to get you some extra room for wider rubber. I did my quarters on my cutlass with one. You have to use a heat gun if are not planning on painting it tho. You can rent them if you don't want to buy one also.
