Showin off my 1997 sleeper long bed 2.3L :-D

[Chic N Stew]

The reason i put sleeper, is that i wanna lower it, put a 4.0 in it with a supercharer kit, and keep the stocker wheels, and bench seat and such. Its just something ive got in my head, so i thought i'd throw that in there so people arent confused anymore. And yea, i'm gettin a set of beauty rings when i get back from school. Its not a beauty queen, and i dont intend on it to be. Im not puttin pimp ass aluminum foil rims on it and im not gonna put a candy pearl paint job on it, i just want it to kick some ass and take some names haha. So yea, hope that cleared it up, hope you enjoy...

HEY, i take offense to that, LOL

why waste ur time with doing the 4.0 swap then supercharging it, ur gonna have to build the 4.0 from the ground up to withstand and extended supercharger activity, what u could do which will be considerable cheaper is get a 2.3T from a turbo coupe and build that, will cost u considerable less, and u can easily make the same power....now THAT would be sleeper, cause u will still have the 2.3 that came stock in ur truck...they just wont know what hit em until the turbo spools......

Yea, that was my first route, im still considering it. The reason i wont like to do that is because my truck is OBD2, and anything before 96 isnt. Im still trying to figure the configuration out.

Yea, ive got a chilton, and kind of equipment do i need? a handheld scanner or something?

 

[mhughes165]

take a stop over into the forced induction forum to ask a few questions, too much for me to list here, just go on over there and read up, its been done, and as far as wiring ur gonna need better diagrams then what the chiltons provide
