I like the dash, it’s amazing how much information you can get with the BIM connection.

WOW. Your doing a great job. Top level addions going into this truck. Most people overlook the fuel line and don't do the PTFE lines. How much was the torque converter, roughly?

engine bay almost complete, steering shaft still needs paint

The small cam LS3/4L75E with 3.73 gears is a blast to dive, changed the converter from a 2600RPM to a 3200RPM smaller diameter and made a huge difference

300 miles on the build so far!
