I'm Awesome
I've got a project in mind that i'm starting to save up money for and wanted to know if anyones done it and get some help on a list of items needed. I'm planning to find a Reg cab short bed, with a V6 and a 5spd, with or without the motor and tranny(don't need anyways), and find a donor truck with a mechanical injection(92/93) 6.5 in it. i know i'm going to need the truck, engine, and trans and all of the fuel system obviously, some of the other things i'm wondering about is, the driveshaft and rear end. Will they hold up to the torque of a 6.5? maybe build the rear end a little? or would i be better off getting a Semi-float or full- float and getting the lug pattern redrilled to 5 lug? how would i have to go about the speedometer? any other advice will be appreciated. I know alot of people will say don't use the 6.5, its crap or stuff like that. But i want it for the ease of swap, mpg, and the fact that i've never heard of anyone doing this setup much less seen it. Something unique i guess. thanks for any advice!
