Build story
I got the truck 1.5 years ago, already SBC swapped, just not done very well. The motor mounts were sketchy, the tires rubbed, there was no front cross member, and it barely ran and made little power when it did. I rebuilt the motor and changed cam/intake/heads.
I redid the motor mounts, wrapped the headers, and painted the engine bay. I also got rid of the automatic transmission and swapped in a t56 manual, I also swapped out the stock rear end for a Ford 8.8 with disc brakes, 3.73s, and LSD.
I also cleaned up the bed and redid it with bedliner and reworked the welded in tailgate.
The truck runs great and I have no issues hopping in and driving an hour away if I need to, I know it'll make it.
