Noice OP.
What you plan on doing with it?
Mudding I assume?
>>14805526
For now yeah, mostly cause it's the cheapest and easiest build and being in flat ass Florida mud is about the only thing we got
I might shorten and 4 link it and do a truggy build down the road
>freshly rebuilt 440 big block
>low price of 1200
one of these is not true, and I can guess pretty easily which is which.
Pulling an 02 wrx wiring harness right now.
>>14805608
Engine and trans came out yesterday.
>>14805589
I work with the guy I got it from and helped him bust it down for the rebuild
He was going to put the motor in his duster but decided to go with a 383 so he threw it back in the truck and I haggled him down from $1500. Mostly cause whoever put the sleeper on cut the back of the cab out and none of the factory wiring works, basically I bought the motor for what he had in the rebuild
>>14805623
It's all going into the wagon.
>>14805659
Fucking phone is setting the pictures sideways. Sorry about your necks folks.
>>14805608
If there's one thing I hate dealing with its wiring
I always liked the idea of souped up wagons
>>14805697
Yeah this harness is a mess. Blew a camseal on the wagon and another head gasket so I decided to just wrx swap it. I'll post some more pictures of the project so far when I get back from working on it.
>>14805716
Also taking it from auto to manual.
>>14805315
5.9 swap ?
>>14805635
how cozy is the sleeper?
>>14805740
Nah, not on this one. I have been thinking about Cummins swapping my 93 short bed w150 though, especially since they never made a factory single cab short bed cummins
>>14805756
It's not...
>>14805786
It's got potential, all it needs is a qt fireplace and some curtains, maybe a little couch
>>14805803
I was thinking more along the lines of a bench seat and a beer cooler
>>14805315
