New project

[ChevyLee]

I still want to put in in. I guess I need a list of everything needed to put the 370 in.

Get all of your eggs in a basket first. Make this fun, not a head ache lol.

First off get the wife taken care of first that way you know for sure how much money you have to playaround with.And good luck jeffy.

[sprayedenali]

i say do the motor first. you know you will go way over what you want to spend initially, so go ahead and get what's more important out of the way first, then mess with makin it look good

nice looking truck! looks pretty similar, only with a nicer interior haha. This was my pig 2years ago when i first bought it.

[bangbangskeetskeet]

I was thinking a 383ls motor but I guess a 421 would be fun.

I like his idea...383 is a bomb number...it has retro feel but with all the advantages of the new LS motors. But yeah I say do a big ass rear mount...or even do twins like I was planing on doing!!!!! Its fun to be different and I think it would be a lil cheaper than doing front mount....but I could be TOTALLY wrong...

I dunno maybe Im partial to going rear mount, but I really think they can make serious power and they are "not the norm".

Whatever you do Im sure it will be awesome man!!! Good luck

Any progress or updates?

[got2belucky]

id drop it first because its quick, easy and will keep you interested in the truck while you do the swap. just dont paint it untill you get the motor and drivetrain in. once its painted its almost impossible to complete the swap without screwing up the paint somwhere. trust me, i know

[ff_jeff]

No updates really. As soon as I get xtra cash, Im going to get the tranny, and as much as possible. I dont think I will run the motor na... No sence paying for headers, and exhaust when im going to replace it any ways. Just get all my parts ready, then do a big swap like Kurt said. Im leaning twards a 2-4 drop, long bars, 4l80e. Body wise im stuck on wether to keep the faded paint for the sleeper look, or I waas thinking the same color as the vette. With a sprayed bedliner, rollpan and ss bumper. I want to order some of those crager soft wheels in the 17" size. Black in color and just put the old toyo proxis on there.
As for the motor, I want to put some arp rod bolts for xtra strength. Get the heads p&ped, and go with either the gt-7 cam, the gt 2-3 cam, or a custom grind like 215/235 .550/.550 114-118lsa. What do yall think?

[ducky]

As far as the cam goes, are you going to turbo the thing or do what? Those look like good turbo cams to me. If I get around to finding some new wheels for me, would you ever buy mine? Or no bc they are 16?

[Turbo_smh]

With that truck I would go 4/6 if your gonna run 17s. You' ll ust have to notch the frame but the look will be awesome. Everything is very cheap on these things. I hope it comes along for ya! Your gonna love the results!
