help me build my truck...(what would you do thread)
ok i need some help figuring things out...
first i am working on a budget and time so no 10K builds..lol
this is what i have:
2000 rcsb with no motor
2005 4l80 with no converter
2) 5.3L long blocks (05 models i believe with 706 heads)
new ls6 oil pump
new PRC 2.5 5.3L heads
new MS3 cam
new 7.400 texas speed push rods
new ls7 lifters
this is what my options i have been thinking about BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
building a 383 with the ls1 and spraying a 200shot
buying a 6.0L iron block and building a 408 and spraying a 200 shot
use one of the 5.3L
buying a 6.0L short block and possibly turbo it
if i build a motor i can't afford to boost it
or anything that you would think...i'm open
and this is what i want:
i want a truck that is fun to drive and to be as fast as possible for the dollar spent
i would like it to be able to run 10's
and this is what i need from you:
if you were me what would you do???
headers?
stall?
motor?
sell my heads/cam?
intake?
nitrous or turbo?
ect...
please help me out i don't wanna spend money twice or on un nessasary things...
if anyone has things that could help me out in my goals feel free to pm me
thanks
