well i got 'laid off' from my 2nd job so now i lost $700+/month that would of gone to my truck 
so everything is on hold...probably go back to college in January instead of trying to find another job. but i do got about $800 to spend on my truck...and that won't increase any in a LONG time...so $800...what do i do? find a 6.0 shortblock and swap it? and port my heads? or just get a big cam/springs and headers?

Save the $800 for school expenses and do the truck after you graduate and start making better $$$$. Dream big and be willing to do what it takes to get there.
