New forged pistons with about 9 to 1 compression. Getting a shift kit for the trans and a 2500 stall. I have a NOS cheater kit that Im going...

    OK. A few things have happened. The truck jumped time. "Timming chain slipped. It was so bad. I took the chain off without removing either sprocket. It bent all of the exhaust valves and a few of the push rods. After taking taking a few rod caps and main caps off I decided to rebuild the whole...

    I got the carb tuned good. Found out the high idle was because when a friend "Bill" rebuilt the carb he opened up the secondary throttle stop a little. The secondaries were not closing all the way. Turned the stop all the way in and it wouldnt even idle. Had to open the idle a good bit so it...

    It had a problem with it idling to high. Thought it was sucking air from the intake manifold gaskets. So I went ahead and put the performer RPM intake on it. Haven't done the heads yet. I want to wait until I get the cam kit so I don't have to take the heads back off to change the valve ssprings.

    Went to LKQ today and got a few things. Another tailgate. The factory tailgate is beat up on the inside. A airdam without foglight holes. I think it looks cleaner without them. And a aftermarket radio adapter and harness. The factory radio doesnt work. I saw a truck with lowering shackles on it...

    14 bolt rears.

    Not sure why then. I watched them both again. Maybe because I subscribed to the poster. Either way. Thats what we do down here. Roads are all flat and straight and its away warm. Ive lived here for 8 years. Ive never seen it snow and stick here. When It does snow. It melts when it hits the ground.

    WOW. Calm down mister. I didnt say anything else about what you know or dont know. I just thought you might want to see the video. If your trying to watch it from a phone thats why you cant watch it.

    Nope, Im not young, but Im not old either. It could have been a build thread. Granted, I did start it out wrong. Didnt think it would go the way it did. I have a build thread where they go. Look at the truck. What Im starting with is no show truck. Just doing what I can with it. This is what...

    Your 19. I was racing before you were born. Tyler, I was talking about trucks. And yes they are slow stock. It will not stay stock. And most of all. Its MY truck. I can do what ever I want to it. Two KIDS are not going to be what makes my choices on what to do to it. Worry about yourself.

    So taking the trans out and putting a weaker trans in its place, that would make the shift indicator not right would be OK? I did say I was going to keep the 14 bolt, just not in the truck. And I did ask some guys on a racing site how quick they have went with there 10 bolts. 1.6 60fts are...
