well my truck dropped another set of injectors so its parked and im buying a cheap but reliable beater to drive cuz when taxes come round im starting my build. im doing a ground up. rebuilding axles, switching to auto w/built ally, fixing up the body, converting to power windows and locks and 08 up dash, column, and hopefully seats, painting the truck the original obs metallic blue, media blasting the frame and axles and painting axles por15 gloss black and the frame por15 red. im thinkin 4 inch lift with 315s on 16x12 white wagon spokes. the whole under side of the body and in the bed will be linex'd to prevent mn/wi salt rust
now for the motor, i have a gt4202r here with a 1.44 housing and the original compressor wheel housing and a NTPA housing. i will be running the NTPA seeing as i plan on sled pulling. im thinking 300/400 sticks from swamps with a swamps gen3, porting and polishing the heads, studs, fire ringing, main girdle, good tuning, modded idm, and a turbo back 5 inch exhaust (modding firewall, dont worry) i will be going ross pistons on carrillo rods.
let me know what you think and if i should make adjustments or if i forgot anything i should have on the motor build. i know my taxes wont cover nearly all of it so it will take quite a while to build but its something i want to do. may also be picking up another cclb obs psd 4x4 cheap to drive while doing the build. any advice or suggestions welcome!!
