Stroking it is basically heathenistic on this site now.
I mean it is a sin in the Lord’s eyes. That shouldn’t be used for pleasure

The guy I bought it from had it in his Colorado, more of an off road wheeling toy. The heat exchanger and a fuel cell were mounted in the bed.

Ok no one really answered the original question, and I'm going to wait on blower install until after the recession or until we get a somewhat competent president, so this could be a while....

Exhaust, long tubes are on the list. Maybe I skip engine work for now and do a TBSS intake. I can still do some prep for blower, like gauges and engine mounts which I already have.

At some point transmission is coming out of that Denali for rebuild and if that's prime choice then engine may as well come out for building too.

Of course if I'm replacing rods a block is a block I guess, minus whatever wear it has.

You will be waiting awhile, just like I am waiting for building supplies to go down to finish my shop. But excited about the build since I am doing almost same thing

I think all of them are about the same buildability-wise so it shouldn't matter.

The only one that may be superior to the rest is the Denali since it has the Gen IV rods and will be fine for boost.
