I've Ben searching all over craigslist for a 79 malibu for a dmax swap. Not that I have the money lol. With a stick of course but not a zf. Might have to spend some big money for a car trans that would hold

600/1200 hp/tq will make for a very fun/fast/tire burning vehicle.

the T56 magnums handle almost 1000ftlb. from what im told

I've read of some all fiberglass tube cars weighing like 2600 pounds. 3600 full weight. It would be wicked. I would go all.out like a T56 or Muncie with dog box or surface plated gears. I've been thinking hard if my truck was paid off I'd be all over buying one

Thanks. Pickup is for sale! Im going to clean up the engine bay and change the color. I've come to be very anal about wiring and this car is not hacked up but feel I could clean it up a lot. Its a good base for something very mean :thumb:

 

[ecc_33]

Thanks guys. First thing to yank it the evaporator lol Im not worried about a/c. Going small tire turbo build with it. Already pricing bad ass rims and tires. Paint and body is good enough to keep for awhile.

 

[TexasLefty]

Got 2 pickups, got to have a/c where I live!!!

Lost oil pressure the other day. Pulled the engine and the sump was laying in the pan. Pulled the mains to check stuff out and they were ruined. Looks like the turbo build is going to come faster than I expected.

I'd put a blow through setup on a 5.3L out of a truck.. Lots of them out there makin 900-1000hp and if it shit houses you go buy another $500.00 motor...LOL
