Cool cars. My father years ago had one, but I believe it was only a 389 but it did have the tri power.

Great video as usual!

Is it an optical illusion, or is there actually plenty of space to redirect the DP downward (and back just a little) so you could add another muffler on the downward sweep of it and then just turn it out under the back of the fender of front part of the door?

I gotta say, this truck is so awesomely unassuming other than the hood and fender, I'm kind of wishing you had left it all stock looking other than the rear lowering.... 121 in the quarter from a quiet sounding and stock looking, beat up "1500" work truck would certainly be one of the coolest things ever.

haha yeah not sure why i put it out the hood, i kinda just wanted to do it, i am thinking about redoing the exhaust to go down and under there, but i also like how simple it is where it is.

tough choice.

I just read through your thread. If you are still having fuel send unit issues, this is the way to go. Its only like $42 bucks shipped from primechoiceautoparts. Comes complete with sending unit, bucket, stock pump, wiring everything. (so youll have spare parts when your done, which is always handy) http://www.ebay.com/itm/350704842346...S:3160&vxp=mtr

I did an almost identical build; pump 93 (no meth) and im getting away with using a single 400lph walbro (my build thread is on the truck forum). It fit in this stock bucket without cutting anything and I can actually use a full tank of fuel now. (had no bucket with twin 255s before)

Anyways hope this helps if your still having fuel issues.
