coming up with my bonus i just got from work i'm buying 190 FAC milled heads + custom cam + 1.6 RR's 7/16 stud mount

there will be more to come from there.







i decided to keep the blue car. going to keep it for a summer fun car for me and the g/f


then last weekend i bought this monster.
1980 k20 pickup truck
39.5" tires (they're worn out as hell.)i'll be buying 39.5 TSL super swamper boggers this spring
355 sbc (head work, cam, intake swap)
410 gears
manual 4 speed
6 inch suspension lift, 3 inch body lift.







im doing body restoration now as we speak. should be a clean ride once i'm done. fun little mudder
i already bought, floor pans, rocker panels(inner and outer), inner fenders, outer fenders, cowl hood, new box.

it fit on my car trailer by about .00000000000000000000000012 of an inch. it was rubbin nubs on the wheel wells of the trailer. this thing is seriously monsterous. i'm 6'1" and the door handle is at the top of my head. if have to step on the tire to look into the truck bed.


i bought it for 700 dollars.



btw, i know the tow straps on the front arent legal to tow a vehicle like that, but my tow chains that i used for the stang when i got the white one werent long enough to wrap around the axle of this truck...thats how huge this thing is. lol!

 

j/w how do you use a 3" crank 5.4 rods and the pistons stay in the cylinder?

I`m wondering i may have missed something????

 

pistons are what you missed. they are very very short.

this is how its listed from fordstroker, thier motors arent slouches. lol.

C8 302 block .030 over
ARP studded mains
SRS forged 408/418 pistons
5.4" ultralight scat rods
cast 3" crank (2m)
Flat tops
standard reliefs
7500-7800 rpm safe balancing
Perfect Circle ring package
Napier second

 

Tow straps are illegal to use? wtf I tow my stang on my trailer with tow straps?

 

Fun fun...

Did you even have to use ramps to get that truck on the trailer lol?

 

im gonna guess he hot rodded it up on there lol

 

Those look like the ones you would pick up from walmart for $2 (sarcasm). They can only probably hold like 500lbs each.....

 

thats a good size truck,but my friend had one with a 12 inch lift and 42's.it had welded front and rear ends in it.that thing was a tank in the mud

 

that truck must be a dog with 39.5"s and 4.10s

 

lol sounds like you got one nice high reving engine going on there! should be a blast especially with those gears!
