[Onk]

lol, oh yea thats right...

Umm....

New motor is in, and im back on the road...

[004x41500]

no pics? shame on you. i guess when i do my motor swap for a crate 5.9 ill have to make up for your lack of pictures. i might even do a DIY on it.... *ponders a bit*

[AParrette]

you should stroke and cam it b4 it goes in

[004x41500]

i think im gonna keep the rotating assy the same, but i might swap a mild street/strip cam in, and HS 1.7RRs maybe some 24# injectors as well.

if it has the stock kegger, ill swap in either the M1, or hughes intake.

What motor did you put in? The same one or something bigger?

[Onk]

I went with the same 4.7....otherwise i would have had to change out wiring harnesses and motor mounts and tranny mounts and would have had to have redone my exhaust and it wasnt worth the hassle...

the 4.7 is a helluva torquey motor anyway...

oh ok just wonderin.....
