Some of you may have seen her before but its going through a rebuild again, pulled the forged 370 last October after the last Colorado Street Outlaws event. Lifted the head(s) a tad I think, was building pressure in cooling system after a hard pull but fine if driven normal otherwise. She had been good up to that point and has gone 10.8 at 127 on 20" street tires/wheels with a 9000ft+ corrected DA and a 1.6 60'.... also weigh's a healthy 5,050 lbs with me in it. Plan was to replace gaskets and studs and go back together but ended up selling it all and upgrading New setup is a ATK forged 408 short block with PRC 260cc LS3 heads and a JFR spec'd cam, also ditched the old cobbled together Garrett 80/83 turbo in favor of a Forced Inductions Billet S484/96. Here are a couple before pics and video...

 

The new ATK 408 painted GM inferno orange

 

Engine Coming together...

 

New turbo with some comparison to the old as well

 

Engine fully assembled and going in finally!

 

Is that you John? Bitchin truck! Cant wait to see the out come, keep up the good work!

Yes sir. Thanks man! Engine just went in last week, waiting on push rods from Manton and I can start to button it up

 

Wow! Awesome build. So clean.

 

Thanks man

 

That truck is sick!!!! Gotta get me a single cab and throw some boost at it.

 

I see 9's in your future!!

 

what tranny are you running?

 

Thanks man, They are fun for sure!

That is the ultimate goal, we'll see lol, I'll throw some spray at it if I have to

 

Built 4l80e with a Pro Yank 3200 converter and stock t-case

 

See....this is almost exactly what I want. Only on a leveled 2500 since it will already have the 4L80 or 6L90. And maybe an extended cab.....but must be 4x4!

 

Sounds good, 4l80e swap isn't too bad really, 4x4 makes it fun, my t-case is manual so you can do some nice burn outs in 2wd and then lock it in and pull 1.6 60's on street tires.

 

"That looks like more fun than a 30 pack of beer and a chainsaw!"

 

Lol, one way of putting it

 

I love and prefer the floor mounted transfer case lever.....mega work truck vibe

 

It was a base model W/T truck when I bought it, rubber floor mat and AM/FM radio lol, wife couldn't believe it didn't even have a tape player.... she hated it then.... I like the manual t-case as well, less to go wrong!
