  1. personally I wouldn't ever do a weld in on these frames. the way the metal reacts when it gets welded on takes strength away from it. also it isn't as strong as a bolt in piece. But, you are in TX the truck capital of the US so that's why its so cheap there. 3/4 you don't need to, but put a couple people or weight in the bed and you will hit.

  2. Stuff is getting real ....

    Mickey Thompson 295 45 17's should be here Friday. Front runners for now, will

    Be 215 55 17 that I got for free brand new. I know

    My heights are off but I was told to try it before buying more tires. Should have these things mounted and on this weekend.

  3. I will be. Just have some more pieces of the entire build to get squared away and Installed before I go back. But, 11.8's with a 1.9 60ft are old news. I'm on a quest to put a stock bottom end lq9 SS into the 10's

  4. As soon as your mold is complete, I'm very very interested to see how the first one turns out. I have wanted a pan for a few years now and never wanted to pony up what the no longer made Bser pans were bringing. Soon as I see the product, I'll

    Most likely be sending you some funds to fonally get one and shave some more weight off the truck.

  5. Got the victor jr installed today.

    Overall install wasnt too bad. Other than the fact that I hate making an lines and constantly stab myself. Oh and if anyone decides to use this manifold, save yourself the hassle and buy the edelbrock rails. I bought some aftermarket black rails and spent more time than I should have making adapters to hold the rails down. Oh, and I wasn't sent bolts with my manifold, so I went to Home Depot and lowes and the close invould get in stainless in the correct thread were a half inch too long so I had to cut them as well. I tried to use my volant tube, but it's no where near close enough to work now. I had ebay tube laying around, I made it work, but I really need to order some tubing and weld a custom one up to work with the new placement of the throttle body. I had a tab welded on the elbow for the x link to mount to, I used some velcrow to hold it on there. I don't think its gonna be enough and am looking into other options to hold it rigid enough but clean and not bolting it down.
