224/228 .581/.581 LSA112
Proven cam for 5.3 nitrous builds. This is the exact cam that garrison ran for years in his build that was held together with horseshoes and four leaf clovers.

I kind of want to buy the the whole tune thing. Need to find shop in Mi that will take care of that or else i'll be mailing for tunes.

I'd like to stud the motor & do the heads. But it is a budget. We've done a studded lq9 motor w new crank bearings. Beat the snot out of it. Sold it when front shaft twisted on the splines of tranfer case. But guys still drives it everyday locally. Never shot it tho. Best time in a 4wd ecsb was 13.6. W nelson tune. Had a big lingf. Cam.

I want 11's w this 2wd.

Will be kind of going overboard for weight reduction. What you think this will get my weight at? Only 130lb driver.

Mi truck so has lots of rust. Already cut bottom if rear quarters right off. Rockers cut where still fresh steel.
Hood pinned just front, maybe do rear & remove hinges.
I want to door skin pass. & 3rd door & tack weld them on glue the window.
Ebay mirrors
Lexan rear window.
1 Aluminum seat
No air bags
Stock 16" aluminum wheels
Battery relocated over axle w lightweight batt.
No sway bar
No outer bumper brackets
I really want to hack up front bumper & rivet in aluminum but maybe just mold it & make 1 out of fiberglass.
I dunno how much of the dash i could hack up other than air bags & glove box maybe dif aluminum or CF steering wheel

I'll buy anything thats universal cuz i want to get into racing.

Wish i could afford 4 link & coilovers.
I should do caltracs & comp. eng. coil overs up front i seen tho.
Leaving spare tire & hitch
Tailgate net
I want to keep drivers door how it is.Maybe just the panel.
Interior is gutted except dash

Am i looking at close to 4000lbs at all?

I want to run a th400. Because i know a 4l60 wont last.
Does anyone build a custom bolt-in crossmember?
What rear end should i run w a th400 i have 2.
My stock 3:42 g80
Or 4:10 SS rear.
Going to do true trac & cal tracs. Anything else i would need to make it somewhat bullet proof for my power setup.
I have my 2 piece driveshaft dont w new carrier & hd joints & high speed balanced but thats going to prob hav to change w the th400.
A 400 & then later find an aluminum block i think that will shed some #'s.


Not Cag Racing if asking. Just looking to make a street truck thats a total sleeper. This is Mi no inspection or anything. I want to start this thing & scare old ladys at the gas station & light up some diesels. Dont care for overdrive i got another truck & 2 cars for long hauls.

Get a cam in mid 220s duration, forged Pistons and rods, or at least ARP rod bolts. TH400 w/4000 stall, run the 4.10 rear with 28" et or drag radials. 150 shot on top. Get 243/799 heads of you don't have them already and mill .035. Also if you can score some flat top 4.8pistons throw those in when you do rod bolts if you don't buy forged parts. Last a a 2" hole saw for metal and Swiss cheese everything...

I'll just borrow a plasma. Dont want to swiss cheese. Just take out heavy things lil at a time. Nothing more on the rear focusing more up front.

Whats a thread on front coil overs that are cheaper tgan $500? If there is
