thats a sharp lookin yellow truck jd

[CrazyJesster]

and i was talking about the black truck that sbc posted in that link i did

[85SBC400]

its all good....they are all the same wheel lol.

[GMBowtie79]

Didn't Weld used to make them? or do they still?

[85SBC400]

weld makes the Prostars, yes they still make them, but not in a 5x5 lug pattern.

[Hoods69BadBowTie]

Wow that truck don't look too bad at all to start with.

[CrazyJesster]

thanks hoods thank you all for the comments on the truck. i aperciate it alot
now if i can get that monster 400sb going and keeping it cool.
and not heating up and melting ill be ok lol.
even if it does that just means ill be able to build my 383 sooner lol

now the color i think i found is going to be a mineral gray or a darker gray even. with blue flake or metallic not to sure yet.

[GMBowtie79]

Yeah, a 5 on 5 pattern is hard to get what you want at a reasonable price. unless your willing to pay big bucks for rims. Thats why so many people run the Coys they look good and are priced right, and there are a variety of sizes in a 5 on 5 pattern.

[CrazyJesster]

what do coys look like???

[GMBowtie79]

Heres a link www.coyswheel.com

[flamingbig10]

I could of got some 17 coys for the same price as my cragar street stars, but the tires would of been lot more

[68GMC454]

didnt know coys was from utah, i could save alot on shipping...

[CrazyJesster]

so should i go with a surpentene belt system or the old style with multi belts?

im thikin about trying to get this going now i moved got a better job but no place to work on it. only when i go home an thats about once a month ive got the money but no place heh

dunno have even thought about sellin it but i dont know

[CrazyJesster]

someone once gave me the idea to put a 6.0l vortech in this ride

well i strated looking around an seen some videos on u-tube of stroked 408

apparetnly they are 6.0s with a kit an bored out it looked pretty mean looks like something i whould like

[benoit454]

summit has their own brand street star wheel now.

[CrazyJesster]

cool i might have to check that out any of yall got. any ideas what a junkyard 6.0l might coast?

[powder2]

i have been very impressed with my wheels i got from coy and had lots of compliments on them too check fm600 they had 2 or three last time i was out there

[CrazyJesster]

ill have to call im powder2 i live in san angelo with a new job

I bought my 6.0L from Hiway Auto in Austin Texas(they deliver). Mine was $1700 delivered. That was just the longblock, no accessories or transmission, or wiring. It had 24,000 miles on it. I've heard that they are cheaper now. Our local yard has one for $600, but it has 90,000 miles on it and I don't know what it comes with.

[CrazyJesster]

in abilene i can get a whole one for 1250 i think 90k but im also looking into a 5.3 can get one of them for 425 with 98k on it

the 5.3s can be done pretty mean

i seen a video on u-tube today with a 6.0 stroked to a 408 tearing up the drag strip

the 5.3s with ls6 cams an headwork an tune i hear can be mean on the street

[team39763]

I always regretted junking my 5.3 for that 6.0L back when they were in my wife's 2000 GMC. I realized there was a lot that could have been done with the 5.3...like a turbo or supercharger setup...and it would have made impressive power for similar cost to the 6.0 swap. I'm glad I got the 6.0 now for my racetruck though.

[CrazyJesster]

well this will be a a street toy wont be a dd

im giving the 5.3 or 6.0 some thought i can get a 5.3 for nearly nothing

the 6.0 they are bit more expensive it whouldnt take long though to save for one

then the tranny with some mods cooler an stuff vette serveros stall convertor

i think ive decided to scrap my 400sb idea an put it away

i need heads and the whole works for it where i could go an get a 5.3 for 400$ or a 6.0 for under a 1000$

[team39763]

Look for a LS3 or L92 and buy that instead. The can be bought for similar prices as the 6.0, but will make a ton more power with less mods. I believe there's cam only LS3's making 500+ hp.

[CrazyJesster]

hmm cam only Ls3s ive read a few that make about 460 or so heck a cam only 500+ hp motor whould be cool.

[CrazyJesster]

im thinkin of an lq9 stroked to a 402
