I don't see the badging, but I could be mislead...is this truck 4wd?

Wow, everything is looking so good. Seems to be moving along good now that you have the engine. Maybe I missed it, but did you mention the parts you have in the engine? Just wondering on if you went with some I beams, and if those are billet main caps?

No badging but is a 4wd truck. I need the traction.

Good, then you can give Robbie a run for his nickles. It will be the biggest turbo vs blower crew cab battle in history

Yeah I guess I didn't mention really anything about the engine.

It's a custom built 408 built by TSP.
Gen 4 iron block, Wiseco pistons, Callies I-beam rods, Callies Dragonslayer crank, PRC237 6 bolt cylinder heads, custom camshaft, ARP head studs, Rollmaster double roller chain, Melling 10296 oil pump, Trunion upgraded rockers, chromemoly pushrods. Compression ratio is 9.5.

Camshaft was speced by an outside source via Texas Speed.

I guess I don't have a lot of goals. I really like the build process the best of all. I really want to make 1000 rwhp and will see what it runs at the track. I have no clue how fast it will be. 5540 lbs. truck.....Probably slow.....
