Jerry, some would shoot me for saying this, but don't think that hasn't crossed my mind.

Damn man, you werent kidding. That thing is ugly 
! I have seen some unbelievably cool **** come from trucks uglier than that though! 
Is this something you are going to be doing mostly or is this a shop effort as well? How are your welding skills? That thing really could be crazy!! I would go with a forged 360 with some mildly worked 5.3 heads, nice cam and a 200 shot or so!!!

Something of this caliber would go for around 250 in my area.
Green .. good question. It's going to be all me. I guess you haven't heard about any of it, but I'm trying to get m foot in the door for local performance stuff, so I guess it's gonna be all me as a project truck, for what I'm hoping evolves into a shop. That make any sense at all?
As for welding skills ... they are fixing to get a lot of practice and honing.

Go a heads and cam ls1 with a Edelbrock intake and carb setup then hit it with a 250 shot.You could make a cheap 700rwhp for the track and a streetable 450rwhp for the street.Run a non computer turbo 350,a tubed the bed and a narrowed rearend.You'll need to change the name to ugly nasty fast racing.
