Well here we go again...
Currently the truck is in "roller" status... no motor, no trans, and not much of the turbo kit still in place...
Some of you know, I had problems out of the first 347 that Rex built so it was shipped back and got a new block, crank, bearings among a few other things as of right now, its wrapped up in plastic sitting in my shop paitently awaiting re-install. The only other change it may recieve is a custom cam. Its currently got a LPE GT2-3. In the transmission dept, I pulled and sold my old FLT Level 5 4L65E after 2 years of flawless service, I've been having problems finding a suitable 4L80E to go in for a reasonable price. The plan is to find a solid 4L80E and go through it with good frictions and a shift kit/converter and call it a day. I've also got a buyer for my old MP T-70 turbo, I'm currently making room for a Turbonetics MC78.
There will be cosmetic changes as well while the truck is down for the interior as well as the exterior. I'll be putting new carpet and a few other things as well as a set of Boyd Smoothie 2 18" wheels I'll be picking up from BigTex in the near future. I'll save the color the truck will be getting for later
so heres a brief rundown of phase 3 for this truck (or is it 4.... maybe 5...)
2000 ECSB 2WD
Forged "Rex built" 347ci Iron block
WCCH Stg II 317 heads
ARP head studs
Crane valvetrain (springs, rockers etc)
Custom turbo cam
Probe pistons/rods
60lb injectors
KB Racing front mount kit
Turbonetics MC78 w/F1 wheel
3" DP/3" cutout/ full 4" Jegs Diesel race exhaust
Late model 4L80E
Edge 3200 converter
Tru-Trac
3.73s
Girdle cover
Yukon axles
This is going to take a couple months to complete since I'm out of town working for a few more weeks but it will happen in due time... I'll try to take more pics this go-round LOL... I know I'm guilty of not doing that.
