Well, I guess it's time to start this thread. I dropped off the LBZ in January with JoshH at Top Notch Garage to replace the headgaskets and install the twins. LOL, that soon became a full build "since we are already there"...

To Do List...
Fingers Oval Cuts 16.1
Carrillo Rods
SoCal 6480 AF Cam
Keyed Stock Crank
PPE Dual LBZ Pumps
F1 100% Over Injectors
Chromoly Pushrods
Double Valve Springs
ARP Head Studs
ARP Main Studs
366/480 Twins
etc...

I am sure I am missing a few things, but it's enough to get started. Josh already built the trans last year to hold our "future" expectations. I can't wait for the finished product. All Josh said was "Sweet, I'm excited..." :roflmao:

Huge thanks to Josh, Russ, and Al for all the help and support. Couldn't have all this fun if it wasn't for you guys! :hug:

Correct, F1 is an East Texas company more common in the cummins world but has dome some good work in the dmax comminity as well. Josh ran them in his built motor and had nothing but good things to say, so we are going to give them a shot here.

"Tow Mirror Killer"? Ok, gotta hear the explanation for that name.

F1 - good reputation

Sounds like a great build, and a great looking truck. !

Thanks. It's slowly coming together...

looks good, what have you done? just dropped t-bars and drop shackles?

Belltech 3" drop shackles in the rear, torsion bolts removed on the front.

Probably the moose antler Dodge tow mirrors that you can't help but see everywhere? :spit:

Dave's right. Russ came up with the name so we can give our Dodge buddies a hard time. It's the Bent Rod Racing Team... :rofl:

Awesome that tour getting a built motor finally. Is it 4wd?

Yup, this one is 4wd. The other one is 2wd. The 4wd will be fun all around street/strip setup, but we have much higher hopes on the 2wd build for the track.

Just a little sneak peak of the twins...:eek:

Twin Cokers....oh my. I have a difficult time keeping up with you two's shenanigans. The racing team name sounds like something your wives should be concerned about? :roflmao:

Good luck guys. Kick Ram Butt.

Still a vagina behind the wheel. I'm going to beat him at the track in the 2wd with a stock motor anyway. :roflmao::D

LOL, then you better give him some direction on the 2wd!!! :hug:

I thought this was Russ's truck. You guys need different screen names :)

Read closely... you underestimate my sneakiness...

I'll be more than happy to pick her up from Josh's to give her a proper break in!! I can't wait to see both of these trucks! I'm already thinking about excuses to tell Laura I need a motor built:D
