sounds like the adventure is well worth it, if nothing else we get a laugh out of your descriptions of the above needed repairs. Its still a nice lookin hoopte and your right it beats the hell out of a taurus.
didn't you have a short bed you got rid of a few years ago?? could have spent the 3900 on that one..lol
What's happenin, DK?
Yeah... I got rid of that one a long time ago. Traded it for some upholstery work on the Sled.
Anyway...
Got the rear Prostars polished last weekend at the truck stop and picked up a set of look-a-likes for the front. The fronts aren't an exact match to the rears, but close enough. Eventually, I'll buy the two rears, but I have to slow down the spending on this one for now.
I definitely like these better than the rallies I had on it.
Also considering a 5.3 swap. 300 HP and 20+ MPG from the factory. Sounds kinda like a no-brainer.
Campy where are you possibly ordering 5.3 the from??
I don't know, Bro. I've been thinking about calling up this guy:
Seems like a pretty good gig. 3 wire hookup, tested, turnkey engines.
5.3...man up son if you're gonna go LS go 6.0
Richard
Looking at that guys engines...I'd consider a dang 4.8L for mine. a 300+ hp 4.8 would make my 454 feel like a dog I bet.
I must say the wheels loook good on the shorty and I'd sport the 5.3 myself, unless you wanna tow I'd go for the mileage. Thats why i sold my prostreet cause i was tired of feeding it.
