I vote new rear end with some slicks! That'll be worth a lot more than heads imo.

If you still have the 10 bolt that would probably be a good starting point.

Get some shocks, and an adjustable panhard bar if you don't have one. With the springs you have, you'll need them.

BTW, I see you're in Hobbs. I used to live in Tatum (north of Lovington). We used to run down to Hobbs about once a month or so.

well no more then ten minuets ago I just called to the good people at TEA and ordered a set of TFS215's so thats where i voted to spend my own money. for you I would recommend building the suspension, looks like you've already added a lot of power mods and no suspension(at least listed in the sig)

adj. Tq arm
adj. lca's/phb
relocation brackets
SFC's
adj. shocks up front

under drive pulley
fuel pump(because your spraying)


that wont use up all your money

Definately the rear end 1st. That is the weak link if you start, I mean continue, to put the hammer down
