if n budget drop a 4.8 in there and build the kit around this motor till you can afford a forged 370. I can tell you a 4.8 will hold a good bit of boost and ppl throw 4.8s away. so its a win win situation to start with

I second this. Boost does anything good.Quote:

Ok, I think I will go the turbo route. But which route do y'all think? STS style would be cheaper right? But I have plenty of room up front for a front mount.
Im liking the idea of a rear mount, But it seems that most people with a rear mount go front mount afterwards. I also have a limited budget.
Front mount, but that truck needs a few things first.
V8, and some traction!
front mount is cheap!!! if you were closer to me id fab up you a kitQuote:

Keep the V6 in till everything on the motor is a go and make it a long weekend install. That's a nice truck and a great platform to start with!!
Kurt's idea makes most sense to me....
I still want to put in in. I guess I need a list of everything needed to put the 370 in.Quote:
