Hey guys. I'm new to the forum, but not new to the world of performance. I know everyone says long beds suck, and v6's suck, but I'm out to prove everyone wrong. No my username isn't real...yet. My whole life I've wanted to build a small motor and make it go fast in somethign that just wasn't built to go fast. A few months ago I aquired a long bed chevy 1500 4.3L. I now have a few parts (listed in sig) so I call it the 4.3LS1.

I just wanted to pop in and say hi, and if you guys have any questions about me or my truck, just ask. Later.

welcome. don't worry what others think. just do what you want. trust me, if you get that bucket in the 10's, 11's, 12's, or 13's, you will be heralded. a hard feat that not many people would try to tackle in a fullsize.

Get a Typhoon or Sylone motor and swap it into your truck. That would make haul pretty good.
