    But seriously, if you ever want any help on this let me know, and you know ill be more than happy to come up and hang out and wrench on it with you.
    370's are what most folks are running for boosted motors. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

    id drop it first because its quick, easy and will keep you interested in the truck while you do the swap. just dont paint it untill you get the motor and drivetrain in. once its painted its almost impossible to complete the swap without screwing up the paint somwhere. trust me, i know

    No updates really. As soon as I get xtra cash, Im going to get the tranny, and as much as possible. I dont think I will run the motor na... No sence paying for headers, and exhaust when im going to replace it any ways. Just get all my parts ready, then do a big swap like Kurt said. Im leaning twards a 2-4 drop, long bars, 4l80e. Body wise im stuck on wether to keep the faded paint for the sleeper look, or I waas thinking the same color as the vette. With a sprayed bedliner, rollpan and ss bumper. I want to order some of those crager soft wheels in the 17" size. Black in color and just put the old toyo proxis on there.
    As for the motor, I want to put some arp rod bolts for xtra strength. Get the heads p&ped, and go with either the gt-7 cam, the gt 2-3 cam, or a custom grind like 215/235 .550/.550 114-118lsa. What do yall think?
