White lightning version 2963 in the making
I had my late christmas party to myself tonite in the garage and thought i would show you fellas whats up and fixing to start with the truck. Plus i was bored :crazy:
the aftermath of opening presents
then we wound up with this stack of junk
heres whats goin on;
stg 1 Performance
u/d pulley
patriot stg1 cnc'd ls6 heads milled some for 11to1
ptriot double .650 springs with all the cool hardware
arp head bolts
ls7 lifters
ls2 trays
stock head gaskets
custom gring eps cam (not pictured yet
should be here monday or tuesday)
tbss intake
ported 87mm truck tb
dr.X harness
42lb marine injectors
I think thats it for the engine i cant really remember. Have to measure for pushrods after the heads are on
stg 2
6" rcx NTD w/kicker braces
Hiem steering
cognito idler and pitman supports (not pictured should be here tomorrow)
mcgaughys 2" shackle flip in the rear (dont know how much lift im gunna need)
Napa Premium idler/pittman arms/balljoints (will get when i get it apart)
Built driveshaft (suppost to hold 800hp/200mph :rofljest
I think thats it for now. Im gunna run the rcx shocks(junk:imo) till i can buy some nicer ones after i sell my leftover parts.
my valve covers i painted on the new heads
fresh mill job
patriot doubles
hiems...
and thats about where im at right now... as soon as i get the cam the engine will come to pieces and i will be in business but until them i will just twiddle my thumbs
only new mods on the truck right now are flat center caps and a big 22" magnaflow to quiet it down for now till i can finish my exhaust
yes i know its nasty.. it has snowed and rained like crazy i havent had time to clean it
more to come :endofshow:

Tear that pile apart. It will probably take you two weeks to get it apart anyway so your cam will be there by then. lol
What silver paint is that? I must get some.

Luke: its some silver paint by valspar I got at tsc. Its a lot shinier in person than it is in the pics. Looks like freash aluminum too me
Oleg: sorry I let you down
maybe one day I will be a cool kid lol
I miss the looks of it when it was low but not as much as I missed being in the air. Its a lot more practical for my uses like this and I like to run over stuff
I figure when I get the cam I will pull the heads and everything off but I don't want to tear apart a running engine then my cam get lost in shipping or something and have a truck that doesn't run for weeks again
