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.
 
Nice truck. Where did you get the hood?
 
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
 
Awesome truck
 
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
