Well, where to start...

There are quite a few mods that can be done on the trucks such as a Weber 32/36 Carb, various system upgrades, and the like.

In these Hallowed pages, you will probably find more than I could even imagine.

Well, welcome world of the LUV. I cant say much about stock ones as mine has a 350 in it, but when I had a toyota 20r in it, she did pretty good. I have driven luvs with 8s 6s and 4s and out of the 4s I liked the toyota 20r the most, but that just me.....
