Decided instead of having multiple threads i'd just start a build thread. I brought this truck at the beginning of the yr for 5k its a 2005 with 178k miles and a v6/4l60 was pretty well kept for the most part.

My plan for the truck
swap the v6 out with a sbe gen 4 6.0 with port and polished 317 heads
super vic intake
230/236 598/602 115+2 cam
Trunion upgrade btr dual springs
jakes stage 4 trans built by me (waiting on kit)
S488 94mm 1.32 a/r v2 cover
4" dp out the back with 4" cutout
4.11 gears and a tru trac.
4/6 mcgaughys drop 2" spindles and 2" springs with 6" rear flip and rear qa1 coilover in rear
vas traction bars
dual walbro 450 pumps with -8 feed and return
100lb injectors
E85

I'm shooting for about 8-900 hp on the 6.0 block then swapping in a 408ci and going for ~1200 hp. 408 just needs to be put together i have all the forged internals and bearings

This was the truck the day i brought it. I have since removed all the chrome and bug shield as well as the door skirt pieces

6.0 and 408 block in the back

Rear coilover brackets

Front shot after i painted the grill (kinda half assed)


As of now the motor is complete, waiting on rebuild kit for trans, rick is fitting up the new v2 cover for the cold side and dp. Still need to order tru trac and gears along with the drop. Target for build completion is around june (i hope)

 

Good luck with build...wondered what you were doing with that cam

 

Good looking truck, and good luck with getting it together

 

Good lord that BW is a monster!!!!

Whats the pt7275 going in?

 

Ha! I saw this pic and was thinking man, that looks a ton like the neighborhoods I lived in when I was in Houston, then I checked you location.

I went to Langham Creek for a while before moving overseas. Did a stint in Cypress Creek as well.

 

nice build man

 

Good plan. Should be fun when you get done.

 

Yup it's going in this project just need to scrape up some more Texas drug money and bail my tuner out of jail and we are good to go!
No I'm actually in Pearland (south east houston)
It sure is a monster! That's just a pic rick from trick sent me for size comparison

 

Thats the spirit but make sure you have a back up motor for when he pours the timing to it with lean AFRs
