this is purely hypothetical i just wanna hear what you guys think...i was fantasizing earlier about it.
Anyway, assuming you had a nbs 5.3 1500 that was bone stock, and $50,000 to spend on it, how would you do it?
im talking purely mechanical, electrical, tranny, rear-end etc...nothing looks or body wise.
dual superchargers, twin turbo, etc, etc?
sell the truck and have 60k
thats against the rules.
wreck the truck, get insurance money and yeah haha.. is that against the rules?
i dunno, maybe if you lose a limb in the wreck or something ill let it slip
I'd get the entire drivetrain gold plated.
LSX block any size. Twins FLT Level 5 80E or TH400 with gears vendors overdrive. Fab 9 rear end 4 linked by DB rods. Custom sumped fuel cell. etc etc etc and by a small cardboard box to live in while your at it.
LSX 454

my truck would be my example with the exception of an 80e and 408 shortblock and probably a 9" instead of the damm 14bolt.
use the rest of money for "incase i broke ****" clause
Lol ryan! Love how your copying Mic's idea :lol: I would too though!!
Id also have to agree on the LSX with Twins a LVL 5 4l80e FLT and 9" Rear end and some sick wheels.
But Id Have to Paint the motor and the snails Arrival Blue and Turbonetics in White lettering
when u see a good idea you have to go with it, i did add pics though :ugh2:Quote:

I would get a tall deck LSX and do a 502...with 2 GT-K 1000's...
A TH400 and a 9'' rear. Some large slicks to go with those huge wheels...
And if I had any left over I may put in a cage and remove every unnecessary thing inside the cab
u guys are lazy...we need a visual...ie pics!!!
Down payment on my next house.
$1 at a time at The Lodge or Rick's. :laugh:
From Moze: "Hypothetically" speaking, I would drive it "bone stock" until the wheels fall off, and spend the $50,000 on taking my wife back to Hawaii since she is with me on my 3rd transmission rebuild. (Unless you count my initial engine/transmission swap -- then it would be my 4th.) :lol:
