Pretty much, Its pretty straight forward from now on, and the wiring is pretty straight forward aswell. :lol: there is just alot of it. :lol: Ive gota sand down the front half of the frame to, but im not gona take it down to metal, just get the dirt off. Theres a lot of the factory rino lining kinda stuff on it still so wy take it off when its holding on good? haha

Im still fighting with my self if i want to do that 4.0 swap. Theres a 600 dollar supercharger kit on ebay that will bolt on and over 200 horse :twisted: . :lol: But idk if i want to do that much wiring tho. 8O

a 4.0 would put us an a pretty even level for engines :lol:
only it'd be ford v. chevy :lol:
any idea what the supercharger used in that kit would be?
a sweet one would be the m112 eaton unit off of a cobra 8O

After all my sanding and body work, and time, haha How about selective trails? (ones with no rocks or trees, 10 feet from the side of the trail???? :lol: And Im game!) :D I got to much work/time to slide into a tree or rock. haha 8O

And the supercharger is im sure there are more but i think one of the more commen ones are eaton M90, And I wouldnt be surpised if there was a kit for a M112 the new cobras have V6s in them so who knows :lol: I just want to get my truck runnin on what it gots right now. :) Then its upgrade time! :)

true, i would be pissed if i had just finished my truck and went out to have some fun and dropped onto a rock or into a tree
M90's are everywhere ebay, craigslist, yards you can get them under $200 without haggling so yeah i agree it would be easiest.. and the sizing range is 3L-5L so it will fit just fine... slap on air air-water intercooler set and your good to go.
you could probably assemble yourself a better quality supercharger kit for the money you would spend on an ebay kit since you are able to weld whatever you need. i have trust issues with ebay kits :lol:

Haha Well ill keep my eye out i know a engine swap is in the future. 8) I want to go diesel, but that will be well $$$$ 5-10 grand. I have that 4.0 OHV I can forge steel piston it and new heads and a supercharger for around 3 grand and have a very very very good engine. Well just things to think about anyway :D

Well i got alot more done, I just have the rockers and the roof to do with the 10in sander. Ill get them done today. :D Not far untill it will be ready to be primed!!! 8)
