HaHa! That's cool. Welcome to the site. :hshake:
I ported the tb, and rebuilt a 4l60e with the beast shell, corvette servo, and dual cage sprag, also added a stiffer 1-2 acc. spring, still stock converter for now

With the 440 my best 1/4 time was a 15.7 @ 84 getting 9 mpg's
this STOCK ls1 with headers has been 14.0 @ 94 getting 17mpg's, still needs tuned and I haven't hooked up my right bank 02 or my intake air temp sensor yet...need to get that done soon!!!
truck is also 540lbs lighter vs old setup...
I have some drag racing vids I'll post up
Welcome....
Devin is going to cry when he sees this.
welcome to the site! did you use the f-body headers?
Great truck, bro. I love that generation of Ram trucks, I used to have a
Ramcharger myself. Glad to see a Chevy motor in there tho :lol:
Yeah, used stainless headers for $90, but i did have to cut them up to clear the corvette oil panQuote:

welcome to the site, that is deffinitly the 1st ls1 in a dodge truck i've seen
where did you get those headers for $90, thats pratically free for stainless headers.
My buddy works at a used car lot, a formula came in with these and the owner wanted stock stuff on there so it would pass smog....I offered them $90 since the air pump bung was cracked.....I cut it off anyway and welded it up.....Quote:

How was rebuilding the 4l60e for you? did you run into any issues or need any special tools? i have a few that i believe ill need to get prior to building mine but wanted to hear from someone who's done it. thanks!
Well, I did order a few special tools, weled up my own spring compressor, ordered a low reverse piston return spring compressor, pump alignment tool, teflon seal installer and sizer....It was work the money in tools bacuase I have also done a few more local people in my area, some of them are running low 11's in 400+hp camaros....Quote:

Nice truck, I always like that design.
