My Ol lady gave me the stank eye last night when I was telling her about it. There’s a good chance I’ll get the same look again when we’re installing it!

Pstraw · 08-03-2019, 06:48 PM

Sounds good. Ready for the Christmas parade.

SaltwaterSlick · 08-03-2019, 07:47 PM

Top notch Mitch!! I'm a fan!!

calfroper_06 · 08-04-2019, 05:24 PM

Nice build man. I just got a wrecked 2011 ZR1 I'm going to be parting out and putting the motor and my tko600 trans is my 1970 shortened fleet side.

Not near as nice as yours but she will do. Thank you sir

Mr. Whiskers · 08-09-2019, 11:29 PM

She drove on the street today. Never went over 40% power. I’ll say this. She’s stupid fast.

Pstraw · 08-09-2019, 11:46 PM

I don't doubt that one bit. You have done a good job on this build.

Didn’t want to read about myself on the neighborhood app. Can’t wait to get everything finalized so I can see what she has.

Your going to need bigger rear tires....

Working on it sir. Pulled them the other day and measured the largest offset I can fit. Truck has a 3800 stall and I haven’t even got close to that in RPM yet. Per my gauges, I gave it 40% throttle max so far.

I've been looking at doing a LS swap on my 76 Trans Am. Seeing your video makes me want to move that up on the to-do list.

I’m sure they’re out of my budget but what are you looking to get for them sir?

ArcheryAddict · 08-14-2019, 01:52 PM

Nice work on the truck. Cant wait to see it rolling around the 'hood.

TexaswBOWhunter · 08-14-2019, 02:41 PM

Just read through this, Nice work hand! Sounds mean!

Mr. Whiskers · 08-24-2019, 09:55 PM

Got the bed back on and ran it with the laptop hooked up monitoring all the gauges and sensors. Running like a top. Front lock ups, exhaust and electric dumps should be here soon. Rear wheels and tires coming soon as well.

The truck went sideways equipped as is, so you order a 250 shot of NOS and some bigger tires?! I like the way you’re thinking!
