I don't drive nobody's high perf cars so nobody and I mean nobody, not even my dad drives my truck.

BTW is your "friend" still alive after he totaled your truck???....................j/k
He's alive but in jail for like the 100th time. I had to also pay around $3,000 dollars in medical bills. The judge threw that out when I paid what I was supposed to and his parents took me to court for not paying the rest. The judge went super easy on me considering what the cop said had happened. He wanted to throw him under the jail for that reason alone. The Judge was a Chevy fan. That was almost 11 years ago. I'll let one person drive my truck and that is my mom but rest assured i'll be in the jump seat. She can't drive it yet because it's a manual trans.

^^ Nope But I managed to get drivers for my old camera and here's is the last video that I took of the truck. This is how the truck looked before I had to take the engine out because of an oil pressure issue just to find out that I cracked the block but this week I'll be receiving a much stronger block with forged internals

Here's some more pics of my new build



this is before polishing the valve covers

and after but I still gotta polish the alternator. God I hate polishing!!!!!
but that's the price I gotta pay lol


The engine now is pretty much assembled but it's not going into the truck until I decide what power adder I'm going to use I'm thinking twin turbos but I think I'm going to run with some clearance issues with the steering shaft and probably I have to eliminate the fender mud shield or whatever it's called. Or I can go with a procharger but I think it's more expensive than turbos but I don't know If I can retain the march performance brackets.

Does anybody know if I could use a bolt on turbo kit from a mustang with minor modification or hopefully none on the truck?

^^^ Heads are trickflow twisted wedge and except for the main caps every stud is
from arp and the heads uses 1/2" studs not 7/16" like a regular 302 block.
And don't worry updates are coming as soon as a get some time off from work!
