Unfortunately I never got it to the dyno, 4 days after I got it on the road a smooshed it into a full size bus

I actually cried when it happened! worked on it for a year then POOF all gone. I was on the way back from a show too with my 1st place trophy next to me!(under construction class, wasn't painted)

I've still got the engine in plastic sitting on a stand and a new truck(87 Dakota) to drop it in, just have to finish the body work on the truck first. I'm channeling the body, which is essentially cutting the body off the floor, then lowering the body a few inches and welding it back up. In other words when you look at the side of most trucks you can see th frame right? Well on mine the body hangs LOWER than the frame. Looks SWEET laying the entire body on the ground.

I also need one more rim, I smashed one of them in the wreck. I had 18x8.5 with 225/18/35 in the front 18x9.5 with 245/18/40's in the rear. Thing gripped like hell!

I had a 4 link suspension in the rear with 2 2600 pound air bags and 2 2600 pound bags in the front. Gotta finish the new mounts for those as well.

Never knew a kid could take up so much of my time! My sons much more worth it though. I just miss my other baby

I loved getting up next to little rice burners and mustangs and showing them some DODGE POWER!
