1997
Ive done the 16” wilwood brakes
The tci 4l80 and stall and the gear vendors overdrive on top of that.
22” wheels to fit the brakes
35” tires
Double batteries and relay to charge both but leave the backup secure from draining
Kill switch
Very clean low mile truck.....crew cab 97 k2500 shortbed
Now, i need to find some 2.125-2.25 primary headers for a big block with dart raised ports (slightly). 3.5” collectors. Quick search hedman, hooker, etc., no luck. Hoping someome might have some ideas.
The off the shelf headers ive found are small tube for a 3-400 hp type big block. Mine makes twice that. Need big ones. Hoping to find something but realize its probably custom header time. Still. Its a chevy. Somebody should sell big headers. Seriously.
Any ideas on a really quiet muffler in 3.5”? Maybe a difficult ask, its a lot of power but i want to keep it reasonably quiet, daily driver. And at 80-100 it is about 1500-1800 rpm, definitely dont want it droning.
Also want either a 35+ gallon fuel tank, stock location, or add a second tank in the spare tire well. Anybody got ideas on that? Will a suburban tank fot a crew cab short bed k2500? I know they had big tanks available but ive not looked to see how they mount.
I know these are hard asks. I know ive spent 5x what the truck is worth. But im old enough to do it and i hate new trucks. So any ideas are welcome.
