REVEREND HARMON
Party in a box!
Well, i have never started a thread on builds on my syty's before but figured i would now on my baby to keep track of its progress (always evolving lol).
Little bit of history---4 years ago
When i first bought it the trans was shot (big surprise) and the motor was barely holding on but the body and frame was straight. This sy was originally meant to be mandis sy but i quickly stole it :squint:.
So, after some elbow grease..new rebuilt motor and trans and some paint i ended up with this.
After getting alot of the bugs worked out of her ran it down the track a BUNCH of times destroying a couple transmissions :rant:
Even raced it at pinks all out and cooked my converter :tup:
Best time was 11.2 in 1/4.
Sooo,i decided that it was too slow now and i wanted to go faster. So i tore the truck down again. My main goal is to have the fastest STOCK block syty. I want to see just how far i could get the little 4.3 stock block. Alex and frank did a good job upping the anty before they decided to go another route with there builds. Reading from what they have done and also talking to alex on some things he would have done better and some research im going to attempt to take off where they left off.
After taking the truck apart i also wanted to address safety issues too. So loaded up the sy and hauled ass up to see Mr. Jeff Scott to help me build a cage in the sy...had a awesome fun weekend with him getting it done FYI
Truck is now in the garage on jackstands in its natural syty habitat :roll:
More to come
