she's already got the torsion bars cranked down from the previous owner. I'm pretty sure its getting a holley ****** EFI system, and a couple of ebay turbo's.

That oil embargo era SB with 7:1 compression will love it lol

Haha awesome.. I wish I could turbo my truck... Don't have the know how

Yeah, quite a different ballgame in slapping on a self learning efi system and turbo to a smog era V8....vs doing it to a late model hemi. plus i NEED my truck to be reliable....so it'll be staying N/A

 

[usaf2006]

How much that efi system cost? Maybe I could get a project car lol

Holley ****** EFI Self-Tuning Kit Holley Performance 550-511 - Pace Performance Parts

Plus a compatible distributor, and fuel pump...but other than that, not much to it. bolts to any 4bb flange.

And it's easy to turbo those? Nice...

Yes, I'm pretty familiar with the holley software. Holley has a downloadable add-on and then the unit is boost ready. already has a 2-bar map.

Back to truck stuff!!!

Wheels and tires are mounted and balanced. Body work on the bed is being finished...and i'm praying to have it back early next week.

will probably have to put the bumper on myself, but i'm betting i can do it in an hour. Worst case it gets driven without a bumper for a few days.

then i get to extend the wheel liners, and fabricate my sealed air box for my ram air hood.

Pics of the wheels and tires!

I'd stop after work but they sent them to the chrysler dealership for that, so they may not even be there.

Bummer

Need new lugs, and fenders need trimmed with 35's

 

[usaf2006]

Looks great!

I have to agree, those wheels looks pretty awesome even with no fenders and the bedside sitting crooked...she looks mean lol

Perfect wheel to tire combo IMO. I like a lot more meat than bling lol

Thanks! the only reason it had 20's is b/c thats what it came with.lol

I'm glad i didn't go 37's though after seeing my 35's bolted on. Especially since fiberwerk claimed no trimming with 35's.....and there is trimming with 35's.

and thats even with a 2 inch spacer, and a level!

 

[usaf2006]

Their website from what I read said you can fit 37s with a level. It looks like an old German lady.. Ugly and mean, nobody is gonna mess around with her lol

Their website says alot of things.lol

Yes that was my goal! Not over the top, but enough to make someone look twice. I really love the trophy look. Something that looks like it could gap a mountain is more Badass to me than a 3/4 ton with a 10 inch chrome plated lift and 28 inch wheels. lol
