Hello everyone, my name is Mike and I'm a a professional engine builder. I bought this truck as I needed something I can deliver engines and such in. I wanted something that cool and relatively easy to work on and have a ton of support. A friend of mine was selling this truck and though a 2WD truck would completely suit my needs; I couldn't pass this one up. This will ultimately be my shop truck and will give me a nice break with the tax man at the end of the year haha.
Here's the plans, I'm certainly going to LS swap it. I'm building an iron 403 Cubic Inch Gen III Small Blovk Chrvy (Most know them as a GM LS Series Engine) it will be topped off with a set of Factory LS3 heads that I ran through the CNC machine; a Holley High Ram intake manifold, Holley Dominator ECU will control the fuel, Spark and 4L80E transmission.
I'm going to do a frame off resto Mod here. Will do the interior, painless chassis harness and Digital Dash, interior work with all the goodies.
Wait... that's not all. Also in the works is a custom built twin turbo system with the turbos mounted nice and high. (I'll admit I'm doing it mostly to wow people and show case my engine building abilities)
I'm new to these trucks (though I've built several engines for customers who have put them in these trucks (all LS Engines)
Anyway I'm looking forward to learning the ins and outs with three trucks and I hope I become just as helpful to you all as I'm sure you will be to me. I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions. I'll start a build thread when I start disassembling the truck.
