look at the webshots pics... it is SAS
toy front 8" w/ D60 rear, and a 350 Vortec Crate Engine...
but wait a minute... aren't all vortec engines EFI? if so, then something is screwy since he said it has an edelbrock carb...
what i DON'T understand is the ladder rear links on a leaf sprung axle... somebody didn't know what they were doing, and w/ a SAS, that's scarey...
the exterior wouldn't be so bad if you got rid of the poser tires, lost the 5" body lift, and then went w/ some 35" MT/R on some MT Classic II's. it's the INTERIOR that makes me want to PUKE
i wish i could pick it up for about $2k or $3k and make it a killer trail rig...
too bad that will NEVER happen...

At first I thought it was a toy, with those odd looking tires on such a small body and then further down the page, he even has to have a disclaimer saying that its not a toy that is a working MONSTER TRUCK...lol.

I don't get the correlation of the ladder bars and SAS being a scarey combo. It isn't. The amount of lift (and that sinful interior) is the scarey part

yeah, i realized that after i posted that. i was just thinking in my one-dimensional coil-sprung world...
well, it appears that mechanically, it might be decent. now that interior is another thing all-toghether.

Vortec engines aren't necessarily FI. Vortec is the head design, and a crate motor with Vortec heads is available in many configs, and carb manifolds go on them just fine. Lotsa carbed small blocks with Vortec heads out there.
