Well here is going to be the start
Hopefully next weekend I be tearing into the truck and pulling the motor

got a t-3/4 setup for it too!

Anyone know where to get a good cheap turbo manifold?


Got to love Craigslist!







Here are a few older pics of the truck in a slide show

 

Drug it into the barn today, didnt do much on the truck but worked on the motor.

Been painting parts getting ready
Had to remove the timing cover since the machine shop installed the plastic chain guides, the guy gave me the metal ones so in they went, and it worked out since the machine shop had also used the cheap paper gaskets instead of the better ones the guy I got the motor from had, so in with those also.

Well here are some pics....

 

how did i miss this thread?!
anyway, lovely project! crazy how similar a 2WD and 4WD frame can be.

As for that motor you picked up, its crazy clean!

 

Just started the thread a couple weeks back... you didn't miss anything!

The frames are the same! just different front suspension mounts and a different crossmember for the trans, otherwise it is the same frame, they just add the different parts depending on application

I'm really happy with the motor so far, brandy new! never even had oil in it yet!
it's an 86 block and a new head all new internals from LCE

 

Yeah, you know I'm digging the red and gold right? Looks so pristine!

 

I have a turbo truck for sale if you know anyone interested 2800 bucks 72000 miles

 

UhHHHhhhh DO YOU MIND!?!

This is MY build thread not YOUR for sale thread!!

 

rude

 

Ya you are pretty "rude"
Actually more like a jerk!
Go crap on someone else thread!!!
If we actually had mods on here I have them delete your posts!!!

You know it's bad enough your just on this site trying to sell your stuff but you use others threads to try to hock your crap...
