yes i am building a complete chassis for the engine i'm building. 2x3x3/16 rect. tubing. mainly i want the 500 hp due to my neighbor building a gen 1 s10 with a 355 who has ran his mouth a little too much.... he think his truck can beat mine. i figure 500hp all motor will be enough with the added weight of my wheels,frame suspension etc. so yes, i will be running it down the track. it isn't being built just to look good... if that was the case i would just throw an ls1/6 intake on it and call it a day.
on a side note....
it is definately a 2500.... not so sure on the hd or non hd, but i will see the truck when i go to pick the motor up. it will be pulled out later this weekend or early next week. i'll know for sure EXACTLY what it is and then let you know. all i do know is it is suppossedly an early model 6.0 engine
