So this is how it sits today. I have done a full axel swap, bumpers, head lights, taillights, and mounted bucket seats in it. Soon I’m going to motor swap it with a camed 5.3ls and I think I’m going to run a 4l60 transmission.

i suggest the 4l80. the 60 has the nice 1st and better overdrive but they are not happy with ass whoopins.

i have never seen one that could wheel and not fail
