    Changing one project and doing 2. Opinions?

    I have been slowly working on my Nissan Hardbody with plans to do a 370.
    My daily driver is a '04 v-6 rcsb. Lately the lack of power has been driving me nuts. If the wind is blowing hard you almost cant use overdrive.
    Anyway this is what I'm thinking.
    Put the 370 with a medium sized cam and the Trevor Johnson ported heads I recently got in the '04;the usual exhaust and tune stuff; lack of power fixed.
    I also have a 5.3 block. Put that in the Hardbody. It will still be fast as hell and a great toy and I will still have the Silverado as a daily driver that is also fun as hell.
    I like the look ducky has wtih the black Cragers. Thinking of doing them with a little drop. Should look good on my blue truck.

    In my opinion, I'd put your 5.3 in the Chevy and do the 370 in the hardbody. Then you have a reliable daily and a bad ass toy. Just my .02

    why, you got one for sale?????????
    Not sure. Since it will be a daily driver, I'm not going too big.
    When I was going to put it in the Nissan, I was planning on 248/254 .612 .623 112.
    Now, alot smaller.

    x2 the other way makes little since you would have two trucks with probably similar performance if you put the 370 in the hard body you get to go fast

    even with the 5.3, the little truck should still be a beast. It weighs around 2600lbs.
    I know I have to get something done about the v-6; its aggravating to drive.
    Not positive right now, but I still have parts to collect for the Silverado swap.
    Maybe I can find a 6.0 shortblock and use that in the Silverado and do the 370 in the
    Hardbody.
