Just keep in mind that in order to put something as odd-ball as that diesel engine into the truck, and getting it to function well enough to determine whether you like it or not, will likely cost a significant amount of time as well as money for adapters, engine mounts, exhaust fabricating, driveshaft modifications, &tc., &tc., &tc...Quote:

I suppose you probably are, but I figured it's worth mentioning anyway.
I'm like the rest of the gang here in that I'd love to see you come up with something cool and unique, but you still have to live within the realm of the practical, and affordable. You'll want to get in the thing and drive it, I assume, so keep in mind the KISS principles will get you there quicker, and still leave you with enough green to buy fuel for it!
Glad you like the thread title change! ;)
ya...i here you. thats why i have this 350 going in it...im going to try and get that going cheap so i can start driving it...i dont know man i really want a 353, and i can get it cheap, and put it in cheap too, i have thee bell for it, and ill use the same tranny. all i have to do is swap motors, and bolt in the 353. its one of those thing that i want to experiance you know?
ha this weekend was kinda funny, i spent 2 hours trying to get the shifter off my sm465 so i can put it in, my dad told me to pull that pin out that looks like it goes through the shifter, then i decided to just take off the top, which was a pain too, it took about 2 min just to pull off the hat becouse of the reverse gear and all that....then once the trannys in kaiserkoski pulls up and goes check this out, pushes down on my shifter rotates it and it pops out....he did what i did in 2 hours in 3 secounds....i couldent believe it, i had no clue about that lol
but i made a crosmember, and i think ill have to modify it becouse my yoke might get in the way.....or ill just flip it around which will be a easy fix too except ill have to move my mounts that go on the frame rails

why the huge body lift?
just to lift it higher. its 4 inches, i wanted 3 inch, but i didnt think about the rubbers. but anywase, i kinda like it high, i agree its high. but not much i can do at the moment, we have to move out of our shop so im starting to put it back together. but i think that once i put the 42's under it it will look good, my lift is only 1 inch higher than kaiserkoski's truck, and i think his truck is sweet
heres nicks truck, it has a 3 inch body lift and 42 inch tires. i have a 4 inch body with 42 inch tires too.
