Very nice,when you get that 6.0 in there bring it by,we will need to go on a cruise to have some fun and get the tune dialed in
If you need help with it you know who has one very similar
Let's get that thing in the 11's on motor buddy

sure thing, we are going to have some fun tunning this baby out!!
one good thing is that there is alot more selection on 15" tires in street drag radials... yeah, I'll be in contact with carlos when Im ready to do the swap... and depending on the weight of the truck, it'll be gettng a bigger cam as well

AP... just to let you know, my truck is mostly stock (except drivetrain though). With saddle tanks, spare tire, bed mat, & 15" '90 SS chrome wheels w/ 275 tires, my truck weighs in at 4060lbs (add 195lbs for my *** in the sit ).

I've got to drop in at least one new tank (thinking of shedding weight by dumping one of the two existing tanks) b/c I've discovered a new problem... trash/sediment in the bottom that finds it's way up to the filter below 1/2 tank (16 gallon tanks). Looks like you have a NICE platform to start with. Now... I'd consider aftermarket ingnition system for that 454. Sounds like you have a nice return on the investment if the previous owner wants the 454 & trans.
