I have been working on this truck for awhile now so figured i would start a thread. Its orginaly a v6 auto truck that i picked up for a grand 2 years ago because the dealer thought the transmission was gone. Well after changing the filter in the tranny its been my dependable daily until now.



I started out buying parts here and there and getting the truck slowely moving along, bought a turbo 400 capable of a 1000+hp a FAST stand alone computer, shifter, turbos, engine etc. Took the engine down to a local machice shop to get it built and half way through it i made the mistake we all make, I CHANGED MY MIND !!! i decided i wanted more so went ahead and orderd a built short block that i knew would handle the power without a doubt. That lead to another mistake, because i have aloready installed a 8.8 rear end that will no longer hold the power. So the plans now are to get a fabricated 9" from moser tranny is staying the same and doing a 390 lq4.
This is just a general run down of the build so far, if you have any questions hit me up thanks for lookin.




first engine and tranny i bought.

 

 

build is looking sick so far, keep the pictures coming!

 

AWESOME MAN!!!!!!

What turbos are you using? Who ever did the welding did a great job. Love the triangulated 4-link and bags! That makes it not necessary for a panard bar or watts link correct?

 

Thanks man. they are precision 6265s. ya i wanted a 10 sec truck that i could still lay on the frame, you are correct i dont have to run a wats or pan hard because of the triangulation.

 

nice man

Ive been wondering why more people dont do triangulated four-links being that you can use less material.

 

Truck looks great. That 4 link is nice.
Lookin forward to your updates.

 

im one jealous ****....

 

Thats going to be one fast truck.....

 

that thing is bad ***. i have a soft spot for obs's. and i love ls motors.
