since ole godzilla seems to be a project of its own, i decided to get me another 6.4 street truck. I bought a ecsb 4x4 off a member here. i got it on june 13th from texas , it came home got paint matched everything including a shaved emblem on tailgate and matched badges and cowl, along with harley headlights and carriage works upper and lower black grills. that was the first week i had it. figured id show you guys what i was able to get done in 30 days. stereo system will be complete tuesday with 500/1 and 300/4 focal compoments and JL center console sub. im still waiting on the recon mirror lenses from stealth auto.
the next weekend i swapped motors and turbos with BFT cuz hes selling his rig, it has elite manifold, 6.0 manifolds, high powers, stuids valve train and airdog. then i added 110's , dual pumps, and an elite stage 4.5 trans with DPC converter. ive been fighting a tiny leak on a dual pump line fitting, nothing maor just a bitch to get to under the hood, need to get shane down here lol. not enough to make a mess, but enough to occasionally see a drip if i have it at WOT for any extended period of time. nothing major but ***ing annoying. then yesterday i took the 6" pro comp lift off, and swapped for icon 4.5" lift with OUO ALA's , OUO Traction adjustable traction bars (still need to mount them) . i wanted to stay with 35's and i thought the 6" looked too tall for the tires. I also swapped the wheels for BMF REPR's , which i really wasnt sure of when i got them, but now they are on the truck, they look really clean IMO.
i still need to put the AMP steps on and bolt traction bars on, the mounts are on just got tired. ive never done so much work cosmetically, suspension , and motor in such a quick time. from what it was a month ago to what it is today to me is astounding. i learned alot from godzilla about what i like and dislike so i mimicked many things about that truck. here's some before and after pics. sorry there will be a lot of pics.
before
Ill have some dyno numbers this week, i assume the truck should make 775-800 on #2, and ill put a couple stages to it, just for a pass or 2 on the track and a big number on the dyno. the truck weighs about 7500 with me in it. not exact weight but im sure its close.
i gotta give a HUGE thanks to BFT for all the help thru the swap. we swapped trans, motor and transfer case on our trucks over a weekend, a log ***king weekend at that lol. and thanks to Tadd and elite for the trans and nozzles in quick time. i actually robbed the dual pumps of godzilla due to nothing available. all the work was done using a buddy's shop in camarillo , ca called ultimate truck. great guys for the most part and good help cept one dude lol.
so now i have a street truck again lol. i think ive lost my mind.
