Ehhhh just another truck

[metalmonkey47]

Thinking more about that, the motor would SUCK. The compression ratio is going to be so high, I'm probably gonna be looking at maybe running 93 octane at super retarded timing.


GOD this is one of those dilema's.

D'awwww you guys are the sweetest <3


I really feel like tires/flares will come from my refund, depending on what's left after my vacation. I'm heading to S/C for my girlfriends Bday to spend a week on the beach. Got a nice condo on the coast!


The trucks soooooo underpowered it's annoying. I make -maybe- 70 rwhp?? It sucks. The motor will be a freshly built L-Z hybrid block. Built by a buddy at Forged Performance to race spec for his old 210 he no longer has. He was building it to rape GTR's on the track, but abandoned the project after getting in deep with his rock crawler.

It's an L20b block with:

Forged Mahle pistons
ARP Main studs
Big block chevy bolts
Z20E long rods (stock forged iirc)
Z22 Crank (stock forged as well)

A87 Close chamber head (imported from the japanese models in the 70's and 80's)
BIG Racer Brown cam, .272 lift unkn duration

I'll recycle my header and intake mani from my current setup, maybe get a single side draft Weber 45 and look at maybe double to triple my rwhp.

I just reallyyyy feel like my truck needs more power. It's fucking shitty some days. mostly the heavy camper. I can live with the suspension for now.


I think I'm gonna go by the bank and see about setting up a personal loan to pay for motor and parts.

you need that camper sheel for premium boss action after a motor/trans swap...get to it!

I seriously am in love with this thing, have been since I started reading this thread

[aLaFleur]

Motor and suspension... duh

[donovan772]

Motor or suspension... Toughie... Are you satisfied with your suspension enough to buy a motor?
Do you feel like your truck needs that 'gitty up'?

[Rinku-Bitch]

Haven't seen those pics until now, hell yeah!
I'd say motor, if your truck is anywhere near as underpowered as mine, you need it xD

[MattyHacks71]

I'd say fender flares

[244Brick]

I say, get a SR or KADE/KA24DET drop it in there and do suspension.. Motor + Suspension = Double WIN

[milano_red]

That's tough for me to decide

It's between motor or suspension...

['70dim]

I vote engine, but be prepared for fuel. that thing will be thirsty, and it doesn't drink cheap wine.

Lookin good man! I'm surprised you can't go any lower than that though

I also need to get with you about rolling my front fenders.

I'll find a way :P haha no worries.

Let me know! We can figure something out

Is the truck on body rubber mounts? I Say a body drop!

Ya know, I've really never looked... But that's a good question! If I ever go lower though, it will be on bags or coilovers so I'll just pull the swaybar out all together.






My tax return is coming back soon...... so the question is:

-LZ23 Stroker 'Race Prepped' by a Forged fabricator & 5 speed rebuild
-Paint/body
-Suspension
-Etc

what the hell do I do???

[GayPoolParty]

fucking love that camper top.

[thefuzz]

I want one. I want one BAD
