Thanks not a fan of stick on's too but I have not seen a functional hood that I like yet. I would like one like the Dodge V10 tucks which have the camero SS hood with a cowl.

I understand what you're saying about it being paid off, but by the time you go through all the fabrication, buy the motor and tranny, all the little BS that you will have to have, along with the brake upgrades, I would figure you would wind up with 20-25,000 in it easily, and then the potential for not being legal, you could go buy a 2500 truck cheaper and easier, use it just to pull the trailer, and work with, and keep your truck to ride around and look nice in. IMHO anyway. Or, if you didn't want/don't have room for two trucks, you could sell yours, or trade it in, and use all the money you would be saving in payments to make the HD look just as awesome as yours now.. BTW, kick *** truck you have there.

lb7 no emission 250 hp 550 ft and injector problems can be crazy modded
lly egr only 300 hp 590 ft very few overheat when towing heavy crazy mods also
lbz big *** egr and some other junk 350 hp 650 fts some of them had head crack problems and they have less mods but do come with the 6spd ally
lmm basically the lbz with more emissons 355 hp 655 ft have a dpf and eger and few other things lbz tunning works for the most part

A guy on The Diesel Page has one swapped into an early 90's RCSB, too. It has been in some of the mags.
