I'd probably be interested in your intake and tmh's if the price isn't hardcore crazy.

but fyi if you posted both tmh and your mac intake on explorer express, you could probably get more than you paid for them.

if you want the intake you can have it. needs a new rubber fitting between the tube and the throttle body though. it was cracked in half at some point and tore when I removed it. other than that has a new filter and the mount to hold it up. I'll let you know if I decide I'm not using it over again, right now I'm still deciding :)

They look ok, just need new boots on the diff. Side. I kinda thought about just bringing it to the dunes in June and just beat on it and if it blows up oh well and trailer it home. But I really want to work on beefing it up and cleaning up the build

Oh and would you please measure the length of the axle shaft and the entire cv length if possible? RCV is supposed to be taking on the project but they need dimensions

I still say you're a thief. I'm never going to see that Spanner Socket again.

Havent checked out your build in a while, looking awesome i didnt realize you had a little cage for the seats i like that.
Fuel injected 351 AFR heads and Trickflow intake would look good in there

I vote EFI. Either 302 or 351. I also vote a manual. Might make it more fun being able to bang gears.

Carb can be simple but I remember last year that tool in the crew cab dually with 460 painted across the windshield. He took forever trying to get up test. I'd hate to see that be you. I know there is a massive size difference but I was just trying to relate to the extreme angles of the carb.

Build that 4R70W with a nice ratchet shifter you'll love it. Trying to downshift running up the dunes and stuff will be a PITA. I hated my truck with a stick at the dunes, now I just mash it and let it do it's thing.

I agree sometimes a manual there can be a little much for shifting. As for test I usually make sure I'm in third as I start climbing and leave it there.
