Nice work so far, that thing is going to be mean!

Is it 4wd or 2? And what is it going to be after the conversion?

I'll post a few pictures for him. The truck will be AWD.

Looks awesome! The painted block looks way better than rust.

Well, I have fixed my issues, and took it for a spin around the block. I have to get the front body panels back on so I can bring it to a friends and get the muffler welded on. It is just lightly clamped on now.

ooooh baby that looks nice! Nice work How psyched are you to drive it!!

 

[NC_Xplorer]

:notworthy AWESOME!!! The engine looks great sitting there. You will have to tell us how it drives once you get it buttoned back up. Good work!

 

[wpurple]

Awesome!!!!!

woowww, i bet that extra torque will be quite nice

Well, I was going to my friends house to get the muffler on, but I have no turn signals or emergency flashers. I need to get this sorted out before I can go, and so far it has been a pita. Its doesn't seem like a simple fix.

I am trying to think of a common link between the radio and flashers--

What about the 3 bulkhead connections under the brake booster???

 

[MountaineerGreen]

This won't help the flashers and radio thing, but are you going to get some V8 badges?

Badges? We aint got no badges. I don't have to show you no stinking badges!

You don't need to be rich and famous, you just need a good credit card and some time!

Still working on the big post guys. It is going to be quite long. I am trying to incorporate everything I can into one large post. Every issue I encountered, every part needed, etc. I am almost there though. I have been writing it up in microsoft word. lol
