My time... Nothing New. But it's my Build.

Bought the truck in 2009. Never did anything to it but change the oil and eventually put a 454 big block in it...10 years later and motivated by the builds on this site, here's my attempt to build something as cool as I've seen throughout the years.

Re: My time... Nothing New. But it's my Build.

Welcome aboard! That’s a very sharp truck you have there! I’d love to see more pics of it. What are the current plans for it? I’m just about sure I will paint mine the same blue as yours.

Re: My time... Nothing New. But it's my Build.

Currently a long bed c20. Plan on shortening it...making it a SWB, swaping the leaf springs for trail arms, air bags and etc. Also got rid of the of the 454. Going twin turbo 5.3 with a 4L80E.

Never used the FiTech before either. A few friends have and recommended that I do so as well. We'll see how it works with a boosted application. Planning on running 15lbs of boost.

Negative sir didn't have it machined...just cleaned up and painted to look pretty. Regret not doing so but I have a spare motor that I snagged from a 2004 Tahoe for $200

Wasn't sure what turbo headers to go with. Seen a few different variations.

Re: My time... Nothing New. But it's my Build.

That thing is going to rip. Maybe one day I'll pull my engine back out and build it up like this.

Leaf springs and rear diff removed...really don't know what to do with the diff. Maybe a Ford 9 inch?

Re: My time... Nothing New. But it's my Build.

Decided to go with headers that put the turbos in an angle. Not quite sure what I want to do with the intercooler(s). A large single or duals?
