Not the dirty max but a 8.1 liter vortec chevy motor with the good ol alison trans should put some pep in her step

 

HP/torque? Done one of these before?

 

Never donean 8.1 but it should be no problem. It will produce 340HP with 455 lbs of torque stock

 

This is gonna be a real interesting thread...............

I know we would all appreciate the hell out of it.

 

It only took a shoe horn and a little grease (oh yeah and a fork lift)

Pretty cool. Seeing the body off reminds me of why the conversion is so expensive.

 

please tell me that H1 was a gasser before... and not a 6.5L TD.

 

Yes it was a gasser. I tryed to get him to go with a Duramax But he is on a tightbudget for the build and got a smoken deal on the motor/trans combo. The truck is for his 16yr. old son, but heis not giving it to him tell his 18th b day (so he can have a little fun in it as well tell then) it should be a pretty quick truck, but thirsty as well

 

very nice, yea the gas bill will be hard on the 16yr old's pockets im sure... hope you tip us all off with the mpg u get with it when its all done.
