thanks! i'll post more up soon...

i sure hope it still be a semi reliable car (only time will tell, but at least i did everything i could to support the power), i want to buy a sport chassis for towing so hopefully soon i will not have to rely on this to be my only tow truck but having 9 projects going all at the same time does not help the wallet at all haha

dropped the gas tank to make a custom fuel hat to fit an Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump in

Making a custom hat:


And done!




Also got the valve covers back from the powder coating place

had to order new headers since the old runners are only 1-5/8 and 2.5" out and the ones i got now are 1-3/4 runners and 3" out (that was done per my request)

decided to swap out my pa system so that i can have 2 100 watt speakers instead of one. also swapped out strobe lights in head/tail lights to LED ones.

Engine is finally coming along! Only all brand new components are going into this one!

 

You're CRAZY! This thing is just off the charts!!!!

Keep it going...we are going to need 0-60, 0-100, 1/4 mile times, and top speed once you're done. You know that, right? I guess you won't be towing with this anymore

 

haha thanks, though i am not expecting anything impressive from an 8000 lbs truck

 

I enjoy reading build threads like this. When you decide to sell this let me know

 

Is this thing going to SEMA or something ?
Awesome build ! That's a lot of work.
I can only imagine what you would've done to a Raptor.

engine is done!






new circle-d torque converter


got the metal for my custom fuel tank



and getting the engine installed





tranny and the headers are in!

 

thank you! yeah raptor would be a wild one to do but i didn't go with one in the first place because of the towing capabilities...

 

custom shroud with electric fans

 

Gathering all the fuel system components

 

Commenting on the interior late but I just saw this thread. Interior mods look great. Wild project for sure.
