Well after 3 years i can finally drive my truck. here is some "finished" photos.
still need to make my way to the dyno to have a good tune built, running the pimp ecu i have it tuned rather rich just trying to get some miles on the fresh motor.

Amazing looking truck, just curious what radiator you have in it?
I have an 84' 2wd long box 5.0 minus the turbo and I had to hack up a explorer radiator to fit after a few fans went through the stock one.
 
Looks great. It's nice to see it done.

Its a smaller aluminum one cruising without the hood on my running temp is ~180 with a 8in fan. The extra size of the expo radiator would be nice.
 
His could be custom, but US Body Source sells them. There was another place I saw them online as well, but I think they may have been the same hoods if not the same company.
 
JoshT is correct it's a US body
 
Thank you I have been looking for one for a while
 
amazing, twin turbo v8 5.0.... what above the ECU? which kind you use? stock + reprograming or what?
 
I use a pimp ecu from stinger. As for the motor it's not a 5.0, it's a stroked 351 to 393
 
393?? Wow
