Forgot to add, the fronts weigh about 45lbs mounted, and the rears weigh about 65lbs mounted.

I also need to get some new shocks...what do you guys use for a 2in drop?

engine is out....trying to clean up before the new one goes in...I will probably do the hydroboost swap before I put the engine back in. Also removed all the old fuel stuff and trans cooler lines. As It sits now the only part of the drivetrain it has is the rear axle under it, no gas tank, and no exhaust.

everyone loves pics, so....

out with the old


Progress was kind of slow this weekend, but I did manage to finish the hydroboost conversion and went the route of getting that offset bolt out and redrilling the plate versus drilling a new hole in the firewall.


I did this mod on my silver truck so I decided to do it to this one as well, I installed a power inverter on the back wall. Its very handy to have around especially for charging a laptop while tuning. I glued a piece of MDF to the back wall and screwed in some heavy duty velcro to the wood and put the other end on the inverter. I have more realestate to use on the wood incase I want to mount anything else.
