ok guys here it is. Money is no issue. I plan on running a 80e and running inch and seven eighths headers. All of the old drive drain will be removed and relplaced. It is fourwheel drive so traction shouldnt be a problem. I dont know really what im going to do about it breaking so any suggestions will be helpful. I have several friends with forged 370s and on friend that has a bad *** 408. My fuel system actually was purchased from bpowell688 he is the one with the 408. My current set up ran 12.1 at 108. That is with the motor only having a mild cam and a 150 shot. I understand that paybe going from a 12 second truck to a 9 second truck seems a little extreme but i didnt have the money before and now that im in iraq im making enought to do what i have been dreaming of. A rollcage is definatly in the works.

Ok cool, Wasn't sure about backround and different things. I would take a look at flaco's setup, because that is about were you will be, he is 2wd though.

A built 4l80e, and a built rearend, I know the 10bolt wont do

Didnt mean to be rude just wanted to know your goals and plans

Sounds like you will have quite the beast, There is plenty of people here that can help you out Good Luck! and keep us updated
