Yea we'll see what she has in her if it makes 6-700 I'll be happy. I'm certain mine will pop after enough abuse but I'm planning on it, just means time for a bigger motor

Also, got the seats out to start fabricating brackets for a set of Corbeau CR1 Seats. She's still sportn her winter lift kit (jack stands) lol, getting ready to pull the 60E within the next couple weeks to get ready for a TH400

Picked up a TH400 this weekend that had a fresh rebuild, still going to pull it apart and install a reverse FMVB with trans brake, extra clutches, input and sprag. Should be solid enough for the time being.

Nice project! Did you paint the whole truck or just color match the front end?

Just an update guys haven't gotten to do much, still waiting to build the trans. In the mean time I've started the battery relocation. Running a quick disconnect and charging terminals through the roll pan with the battery being located in the bed. Received this nice piece from Flaming River today.
