van wheels? i thought the stock wheels were only 7" even the 454SS wheels are only 7" wide. i need an 8" up front and a 10" for the rear. the Cragar Soft 8s are the closest thing ive found to what i like, and arent "Custom" to kill my pocket.

well got another update

got the tranny mount holes drilled and bolted in. i ran the e fan wiring, all i have to do is find the high pressure side of the AC so the efans know when to kick on high. i got the d shaft bolted in, its really time for u-joints so i think imma get the truck up and running and pull the d shaft again and replace them plus have it high speed balanced. uh im swapping header bolts bc i dont like the ones that came with the LTs. i have to charge the battery back up again, from sitting for a month it dropped to 8.9v so yeah i think its time for a new battery if this one keeps dying.

although i did get to turn the key a lil to hear the teeth on the starter hit the flywheel

i need a water jug from a 99+ chevy/gmc so i can actually add water to the radiator

no the 99+ trucks have a pressurized water jug, unlike the OBS that have an over flow tank. i already have that but cant use it anymore. i bought one from the dealer....72.00 for the coolant jug, and 17.00 for the cap. i should have everything installed tomorrow but exhaust, and tune :) so HOPEFULLY Saturday it'll be tuned.


im hoping to rip the tires 1st and 2nd gear with that cam. the lowest imma go gear wise is 3:73s bc it's a DD and i dont care what the track time is.

Interesting, I learned something new. That thing isn't going to be a slouch no matter what gears you run, that's for sure.
