My beloved 94 pu has finally reached 200k miles, and I would like to turn this truck into something even more fun!
I am looking for build ideas, engine ideas, anything that sounds like fun (for around $5k)
I like the idea of long travel IFS, would be going for a "street mobber" or something to mildly terrorize the speed bumps in town, and still take me into the mountains for skiing/mountain biking/spontaneous adventures
current setup:
4.56 gears
lock-rite rear
22re enginebuilder 261 cam
soon to have tri-Y header
two rockford 8" subs, (400w of AWESOME)
110A alternator
grizzly bear bottle opener
would love your ideas, thoughts on LC engines, 22re Performance engines, diesel swaps, what have you
Truck runs just fine, I believe i have some fuel/air issues (had to Frankenstein afm) but good power. I'm more worried about the bottom end, knowing I'll push it past 4,000rpm alot, and I dont have the knowledge and space to rebuild the block
in my experience youll always come out on top if you upgrade what you feel is lacking instead of just throwing money at a build for no reason. sometimes you end up wishing you had spent money on something else, ya dig. I personally don't see that there is much to gain from a "long travel" on those trucks. the amount of money it cost versus the travel youll gain just seems negligible to me, if its long travel you need you might as well SAS it. wanna get some crazy performance on the cheap? chevy 63 swap the rear.
