Basik Built taco

This build sucks Travis

 

It may be slow, but its still faster than my build and many others on here..... Sees moar dirt than 90% of TW also.

 

Got all my roof panels cutout and bent( drivers overhead is in the truck) while I'm at work, benifit said of being in aviation.... Free Sheetmetal lol

 

Got to fart around after work a lil

 

How did it feel with the cage?

 

Oh I've driven it a bunch with the cage in there, handles a lot better, much more planted through the ruff stuff at speed. Feels a butt load safer and more one with the vehicle kinda feel when your all belted down. Oh and it's super noisy from the bypasses clicking echoing through the tewbs. I got a couple ideas to help quiet it down some. Usually I'm wearing a helmet soo it's not an issue but I just plop earplugs in if I'm out rippin around for a long time. Mines actually pretty dang quiet compared to a few friends caged trucks. On the highway it's pretty quiet tho

 

SC should help quiet that down

 

I support this message

 

But seriously, that SC group buy.

20% off is well worth coming up with the cash now... Somehow.

 

Hell yeah it is. Puts it right about what I paid for mine, which is why I jumped on it when I saw it!

 

Rather put a v8 in, th400, np205..... Or leave it how it is lol for that kind of money I can finish building the front fully caged and tied in with bypasses and floating bumps and link the rear.... I only have 10k$ in my whole truck.....thats with a fully built rear end and gears too lol spending 5k for a lil more power, nah if I need more power I'm putting a 302 in

 

Not gonna lie, got a little excited when you said 302. A little 5.0 litre HO motor rebuilt out of a Fox body would be sweet. Something like a b303 cam, 1:72 roller rockers, gt40 heads would fucking scream. You can make 400hp so easy and cheap. Shit if you got bored just put a 150 spray on it for giggles.

 

That's down the road way down the road lol. It's what I would do tho haha, I don't have a power problem because I'm not lifting off the skinny pedal when I been drivin, keep the momentum and she be fine

 

That kind of motor powering the right set of gears would be scary fast.

 

Yea my friends race truck is exactly that... It's quick

 

That's what I tell the wife I'm doing for a midlife crisis someday. Throw something in there with about 4-500 HP, and then SC or Turbo it, and enjoy

 

Properly built v8 don't need any forced induction, all it does is add to shit that breaks, my friends 302 puts like 600 horse out?? It's plenty

 

Oh. Well then.

 

Yea, too much power and its not needed. The Hoonicorn stang made 800 NA and is now over 1400 twin turbskies. Cant wait to see that thing fly up Pikes Peak.

 

Yeah but those are engines and money that get's rebuilt after every use lol. I'd be looking for something that makes a good chunk of power reliably.
