Also you said your going with a 3500 stall, is this your DD or not?
Most people think we are crazy with pushing the 60 as far as we have, but they are doing great. We have had one truck do 595/713 and still doing fine.
We also have a Silverado SS running 7.30's with one of our 4l60s. We offer a warranty on them too.

Sounds like you are coming along pretty quick w/ your build. I'm hoping to drop in my 408 this weekend. But Ive been building and rounding up parts for months. Gonna drop in my buddy's 408 after memorial day.

Ive seen you on the NTT site also. We should deffinately get together after our 408's are good and broken in.

Good luck bro.

Thinking one on tailgate, maybe one on each front fender. Any thoughts?

Also, I got pistons and some more gaskets and the pump in this week, as well as my new 34" radiator. The rods were on back order apparently.

it looks like that badge was cut on a water jet, correct? im not a huge fan of badges, just makes the truck more of a target for theives IMO. badge looks sweet, though

Yea, ive been leaning towards no badging, like it is now. Then, besides thieves, nobody else will know what she's packing =) I am unsure of details on badge, its available on ebay.
