Mrs. Skylark's CCSS "Ruby"

skylark said:

These are some of the ideas that she has been kicking around. I believe that she will avoid the HOK brandywine and the truck is coming with hydroboost so we won't be doing the 800 master. The denali cluster won't work in the 94 dash.

If you find a 5.3, I'd be interested in the 4.8.

I have a secret desire to swap that 4.8 into my 42 Jeep. 4.8, sm465, t18, warn overdrive and waggy dana 44's is a nice dream to have. The only thing that we are missing is the tranny to tcase adapter.

Call Advance Adapter. I would be really surprised if they didn't have it.

4.8, twin 55mm turbo, t56 magnum (or tko 600), 14b, 4.10s, ridetech stage 2, water/meth injection, running @ 15-20 psi - those are the plans anyways!

With the Jeep being such a short wheelbase the Novak unit is a better choice. It is only an inch thick.

Not the same but have you ever noticed the second vehicle in my signature?

No because if I look at it I will want to build it too.

Haha, nope I didn't. Cool stuff. I've been doing a ton of reading, and honestly I'd go for either a 5.3 or 4.8, but I'd prefer an 05 or 06 4.8. Power is easy on these things, the real money comes from building a rear end and transmission to handle it.

How well do the t56s transplant into our trucks? The TKO comes in just about any configuration you could want for ideal stick placement.

Cant wait to see this take shape!

For those that don't know, it is a bad year for us to play with trucks. Jeanna is actually in surgery right now for a brain tumor. It will cost a far amount before this is all over. We bought Ruby before knowing what was going on. Obviously my sweetie is more important than trucks so Ruby's build may be scaled down a bit.

Ruby finally came home on the transport last week and really brought up Jeanna's spirits. I had to go to the coast for work and I passed a pick and pull that I'd never been to before. They had a Escalade that hadn't even been put in the yard yet. I inquired about some parts and was astonished by the prices. I couldn't justify buying what I wanted with Jeanna going to the hospital. My dad called later that night and asked what I did with my day. When I got to the Escalade story he said that he wanted to buy the parts for Jeanna. We got the console, front seats, front door panels, rear door wood trim, factory fog light switch with panel and 4 Suburban/Crew door panels.









Finally at home!
