A little update, I've got the engine put together and ready to go, I ended up installing a Melling High Pressure pump, LS2 timing chain, a 216/220 .525/.525 114 cam, and LS9 springs. Motor is a 2003 model with 202k miles and I was suprised how clean it was:





Here's what the truck/progress looks like lol

Everything sounds good, except you need 3.42 or so instead of 4.10s

This build is sick for sure!!!! Nice work man.

What that cam and stall is fine for him, but not me? I know it's boosted.

Yeah, I know. Thing is, it already had the 4.10s when I got the truck and I'll be running a stock converter for a while, so it'll definitely help the 60ft for now. Future plans are 3.73s and a 3200-3400 stall

That's going to be a wicked beast for sure!!! I love that body style truck, always wanted to get a crew cab dually hauler for my trailer.

Finally some more progress!!!

Got the motor/trans in:





Started building hot pipes:











The turbo is gonna be way out there I know, so we'll be making some braces to help hold it. More pics to come!

Updates!!

These are uncleaned welds, I still have alot of work to do!!

Crossover:















Down Pipe, LOTS of clearance, plenty for a 4"!!:







And the rest: And yes I'll be running a down pipe for my wategate too.
