Re: Project: [relaxednoma]
Took the truck to CnD as planned, pulled a top 50 which surprised the hell out of me lol. Felt damn good to drive it there and back, and cruise it around.

Re: Project: [relaxednoma]
I checked out the truck at the show (and the seats lol) but didn't get a chance to say hi (mainly because I don't know what you look like and never saw you near it, and the one time I saw you driving it I was riding in the back of somebody's truck going a different way).
Hopefully I'll be able to make it to either KOIM or Dropt to be able to actually meet you one of these days

Re: Project: [relaxednoma]

Re: Project: [relaxednoma]

Re: Project: [relaxednoma]
Maybe some 22" billets as well? Maybe some 22x16's in the rear for that added traction?

Re: Project: [relaxednoma]
You're right, cost effective is key. I will allow a 22x12 in the rear as it will be cheaper and easier to find tires. I would just do the stockfloor at the same time.

Re: Project: [relaxednoma]
^ lol totally missed that.
So the plans in the works are swapping in the 5.3 into the sonoma, with a mild cam. LS2 Manifold obtained, probably going to bite the bullet and just buy the headers, keep getting miffed around with this local fella on these shorty headers. and I'll just leave this here Figured it was logical I finally do so right? ![]() ![]()

Re: Project: [relaxednoma]
new motor you say?
LS2 manifold obtained. $45 snag from CL. major props to Josh for coming accross it and passing it along to me. Hella win Nifty background story though, it's off a 12,000 mile RA6 SEMA GTO. Thing is pretty wicked. Awaiting some billet fuel rails (lol) and other odds and ends.

Re: Project: [relaxednoma]
badass scotty, I think you are going to need some bigger wheels. That motor is going to blow the ones you have now off.

Re: Project: [relaxednoma]
yeah I'm pretty stoked. And bigger wheels are certainly going to be obtained. Once the motor swap is complete, and dialed in and I'm happy with all that stuff, I'll be going after rollers. I will always want a set of 18/20 BAD rockstars for it, of which there's a local guy that has a set. But he'll never come off of them. I have always wanted and will probably chase a set of Intro Vista's or VRods. Vistas are my all time favorite wheel however. If I'm satisfied with no rocker on ground, then I would say a set of 20's or a 20/22 combo would fit the bill, but that's TBD lol I have do have to say that i do forsee the truck eventually being stockfloored most likely. If / when that does happen, it'll be with a fresh front frame clip, build chassis and then swap everything over. I know I'll change my mind somewhat here and there, but the goal for the truck has always been V8 swapped (which changed to the LSx motor when folks started using them). I also have the hankerin' for a late 50's Chevy/GMC truck, so that's a driving force that will be after this is driving with the motor and wheels. |
