will be doing a frontend swap here soon and alittle to the engine maybe in a few months it will be back together then we will see if all this pays off

Looks like it may be in the 2800 to 2900# range with me in it after we finish the upgrades so with the wieght loss and a few extra ponies to go with that I might get to see some low 6's in the 1/8 all N/A .

one tenth at a time Jim! post up some pics.............

I will post pics when I get a chance to work on it working 12hrs a day 6 and 7 days a week don't give much time to work on anything here at the house much less the truck .Leave before daylight and get home after dark I know I want get anywork done on it for at least 2 more weeks right now. Now that have parts to start on it I have no time to mess with it I might not even run it this year

i know where your coming from Jim,i've been get'n behind more and more every day. it's nice to have the money but damn! a man needs a day or two off.

I don't want to stop at 1 tenth at a time I want 5 tenths at the time

The truck will be going under the knife in a few weeks got most all the stuff bought for the the frontend going this weekend to pick up so more engine stuff

OK for the ones that are wondering about my new build it will be ported A429 heads with a matching eddy victor intake looking to build a 700hp engine this time thinking about a 532 or 545 leaning to the 532 I beleave it will work better with my head set up I have.but it will be another 2 month on the engine so who knows might change my mind again

bigger the better IMO...........

I am going to put the A429 heads and intake I bought from Mike on the 460 and see just how much I gain over the dove-c heads this will be just the heads and intake change with no other changes.Just bought a set of ARP head studs and a gasket kit so maybe in about 3 weeks I can make it to the track if it don't rain.

that'll be some good testing,sounds like something i'd do.lol
