the car is our weekend car, we have both been wanting something for that purpose. we looked at the corvettes but with two kids at home who like cars too that would not be a likely choice so we ended up getting this instead :D :D thanks for the compliments guy's now we will see how much mama will let me mod this thing...

well i haven't been on in awhile so i figured I'd update on the luv... had a cam lobe go flat last year and finally got the motor to the builder and once he got it apart everything was pretty much junk! particles from the cam made it's way into just about everything, cranks junk,rod and pistons are good,need to cut the caps and line hone on the mains really the only thing good is the block he said we caught it just before it was a total loss! we sat down and talked about which way to go and we came up with an all forged eagle internally balanced rotating assy,h-beam rods,L-19 rod bolts, up the comp from 11.0 to 12.3,still working on the cam size but going with a mech solid lift not roller ($$$$$$) somewhere in the 250 ish dur/ 570/600 lift range with a little wider lobe separation for a small shot of that funny stuff so hopefully by the end of august it will be up and running again, i will try to get pictures of the build if possible but we all know how this area 51 stuff is.... :lol: !

I have a 77 Jeep wagoneer that's lifted and all that stuff and everyone said Jeep stood for Just Empty Every Pocket. Well, those folks don't own a luv truck or they'd know the real meaning of just emply every pocket. :lol:
