Syborg Twin Turbo

Good Morning All,

I would like to re-introduce myself my name is Marty. I have been working on this project for the last couple years. This truck was supposed to be a daily driver. I purchased a Sonoma GT so I could build it to drive instead of the Marlboro. However with all projects they sometime start with good intentions and then end up on a completely different path. Since begining this project I have sold the Marlboro to help fund this beast.

Currently the truck is almost ready for paint and will be heading over to Rad Rides by Troy for final paint and bodywork.. The chassis has been set at 4.75 in the rear and 4.25 in the front at it's lowest point for driving. . Front Suspension is by Air Ride and the rear suspension was hand fabricated by Dave at Competition Fabrication ( CompFab Home ) .

The first rendering was done by Bob Thrash at Rad Rides by Troy and the second rendering was done by Carter Hickman.

Build Highlights
* Chevy V6 Bowtie Block 4 Bolt Nodular Caps
* Crower Billet Crankshaft,Oliver Rods w/ JE Pistons
* Pontiac Racing Heads w/ Jesel Valve Train

* Dual Master Cylnder with remote Bias in cab Control
* Billet Specialties "SLG 20" Soft Lip Wheels,
* BFG KDW II Tires - 295 45 20 rear & 235 40 18 front

* Fiberglass Front Bumper (modified to allow for air intake for the turbochargers)

How wide are your rear wheels and what are the offset? Is your rear end narrowed?

I really like those wheels. They look very similar to the ones on the NAPA S10 that Overhaulin did. Very nice. On the 1st drawing i mean

What's the predicted power range? Other words what are you planning the motor will produce?

Awesome truck man, good work and good luck.
800hp on pump gas is the goal. However we are going to street tune it for 600hp since I plan to drive it on the Power Tour

My goal is to have it finished by Sema this year
