This is my first real post on here and I figured since I bought a truck with some previous history with this page that I would start a build thread.. Enjoy


I purchased sss408's old SSS June 17th 2015 from a fella up in Colorado after I saw his for sale add on facebook. I've always liked ss trucks and when I saw this one I had to scoop it up..

The plan is to attempt to make a 9 sec pass and reset the SSS record.

I want to keep the truck very streetable and be able to drive it to the grocery store whenever I want to.
Keeping AC and heated seats! interior is 100% stock and complete and will stay that way.

I have done lots of business with stock48 and decided to once again go with a smaller ci motor with one of his custom speced cams along with converter and turbo.

Build will consist of:
LQ4 block honed .005 over
Wiseco -3.2 cc pistons
Callies compstar 6.125 H beam rods
Stock 3.622 crank
PRC CNC ported 317's
Ditched the vic jr for a truck intake to try to find some torque
JFR isky 221/221 .575/.575 112 cam
ETR-HO S476/96/1.32 from forced inductions
Log style turbo kit custom built by George Conroy
Yank PT3200
Finishline Level 5 4L80E
DSS 2 piece drive shaft
Moser fab 9, 35 spline axles, full spool
Strange adjustable coilovers all around
5 lug all around
Pro star 15x10
M&H 390/45/15 29'' tall

This is the truck for those who have never seen it.

 

Sweet truck! What are your plans with it? I wanted to get it and drooled over the pics..

 

Dang i remember when he sold it. Good to see it back here.

 

JC was selling the truck as a roller in Denver Colorado and on june 17th I started my 2500 mile round trip to go get the truck! here are a couple pics from the adventure



it was a long night!


finally she was safe and sound in the shop!

Off of the trailer ready to start gathering parts

 

Cleaned the shop up to start the build!


Tearing down my old LQ4 to send off to the machine shop.

All loaded up ready to go. (mother f%$# is heavy)

Love getting parts in the mail



That was an expensive trip...

 

Big thanks to George Conroy for taking some time off of project cocaine and building me one bad *** turbo kit!

 

Got the Magnafuel 750 and filters mounted up! (sucker is loud)

Im fat and its hot... Got the AC back in

Wiring suuuuuucks........

Parts bench


The truck weighed 4476lbs with the old 408 nitrous set up. Expecting the turbo set up with ac to weigh about 100 more pounds.

Set an old intercooler in to see how it would look. Turned out it was way to big...

 

I'm jelly

 

In for updates looks like an awesome build!

 

nice! cant wait to see more
