IDEAS On A 49

[nebdrummer]

Welcome! i'd love to have a new truck to start out with like you have.

If i were to do it again, i would do the flat out engineering front end kit. it looks so clean and it looks to be a whole lot lighter than anything else.

either that, or Speedway motors Mustang II kit. alot cheaper than heidts.

buy a 4 link kit and do a solid axle, bags all around, 6.0LS motor with a efficent tune, 4l60E, and you have one hell of an awesome cruiser.

good luck with the build sir!

Oh yeah lunch money will b saved! I figure the amount of time I need to call it complete will be around 3yrs. That is if life dosnt get in the way...lol. The biggest problem I have right now is. Wanna run a 350 with a 700r4 don't know what to put in the rear. Gotta find something out of another Car as I wanna save money. Any tips on what might fit?

Excuse any typos as this was wrote on my blackberry.

Look for a early Camaro, or Monte Carlo, with a gear ratio around 3:50-1
Good choice on the engine, both of mine have 350's. I do like the 4 speed automatic for daily driving, but I still get a kick out of the 5 speed but it is becoming a PIA shifting and driving in the city.

As for the front end I sure liked the ease and simple installition of the Scotts Hot Rod IFS, much easier to install than the Mll.
Keep looking at the project section there is some excellent talant over there.

Here is a pic of the scotts IFS we just installed on the extended cab project we are building
