Default 94 Chevy Full size Project : New School

Well I finally got my chance.

My buddy owes me some money so we agreed on a trade. Its a Hunter Green 1994 RCSB 2wd V6 5 speed.(trans is gone).

So I have a 4.8 that I'm buying from Rossp, he bought it from 01SlowZ71. Gettin LS6 springs and a big shot through a plate kit.

I'm sending my Yank TT3000 back in to get it freshened. A built 60E through a Eaton or Trutrac.

Caltracs with MT DRs.

Future plans are puttin my STS base Turbo up front on the 4.8 and getting a MP70 from KBracing96.

Depends on how well she runs, either she is goin to be sold and that money will go in the DD or another project.

Stay tuned for pics and details in 2 weeks.

I think 11s would be a nice goal in a light truck?

I could probably give ya a few tips on shedding weight

I say your STS AND the plate kit.... Those trucks are a ton easier to get weight out of than these... Less BS
