    Lets see your lifted trucks

    Thanks , I am going to download my pic's this weekend and show our build in progress , been at it for a month now and still have a bit to go.

    12.5 tires on 12in wide rims

    I had 33's on a 12 inch wide wheels on my 72 blazer a long time ago and it looked great , but you had to be carefull off road , catching the lip of the wheel on rocks. Now on the blazer I am building as we speak I have 40 inch gumbo monster mudders on 15x14 wide wheels and it looks bad ass. (I...

    Thinking about going the steel wheel and hub cap route

    It was a long time ago , but as i recall the were 135 each and I already had the caps , I will try and dig up a pic. You can call some one like bart wheels and have them put new rings , ( any width) on your stock centers , I think.

    Thinking about going the steel wheel and hub cap route

    Back in the day I had a 1972 4x4 blazer and I had stockton wheel make me some 15x12 wide steel wheels and painted them the same color as the blazer and I ran the small , dog dish hub caps inside , it looked great. I personally really like the deep wheel look with the stock caps.

    Finally decided on motor build

    9 , 9.5 to 1 yes if its your everyday go to work truck , 10 to 1 and up if it's your race gas week end drag truck. 5.7 rods are great in a 400 , (less stress for the crankshaft) , but you have to have right piston's for a 400 with 5.7 rod's . Basicly if you want to have a bad ass street ...

    Finally decided on motor build

    Depends on what you are after! Pump gas or not. 10.56 compression is high for pump gas but you do have a lot of cam so you might drop the cylinder pressure enough to get away with it. Those heads you can use but if you want to make real deal power I would not run those heads , go aftermarket...

    Yea , I just did'nt want to get in to deep with everything unless somebody asked. Hawkattack2007 asked if you could get to 400 to 500hp with a 383 and I was giving my two cents about getting close to that on pump gas in a daily driver but he wont get close to that if he runs out to a machine...

    I have as well but just two square decked quench motor's and did not have to do anything with the intake , I guess it just depends on what your set up is.

    Well , all I can say is if you want a pump gas (Quench) motor for the street , (not race) , that will get with the program , 98% of the time there will be decking involved or even if you want a motor built to top quality standards you will have to deck.You ever wonder why some stock 350's , say...

    Nope , most of the time you will not take off enough to have any problem's , (have done two decked block's so far) and if you dont square deck the block a quench motor is pretty much out.

    new to the engine building community

    Crate motor's are a nice , easy way to go but buyer beware. Most , (not all) are mass produced , so a lot of them dont put out what they say they do.They run good and last but sometimes are dogs. A buddy of mine bought a 330hp , vortec gm crate motor from summit and it ran well but was a total...

    Headers??

    I only run doug's or doug thorley's on a truck. They are costly but you never have any problems , like the cheap headmans and hookers. Doug thorley's are my number one , (way thicker material).

    new to the engine building community

    You dont want to go with the double humps , the vortec's are much better , ( like hot rod pc said) , but if you have the money after market heads smoke the vortec's , like , afr , world , eddie , dart , etc... If you want the bad boy street motor on pump gas you should build a quench motor. You...
