So, the plan is to make my truck a BAMF BEAST!
Step one: Re-build engine, seeing as how there's 315K miles.
Step one question: I would like to put a header, What is a good brand to order from, or should I just build one myself?
The only other time I installed a custom header was on a 94 Acura Integra. Man the was a pain in my @$$, it didn't wannt fit!
Step two: TURBO!?!?! I like speed... can't help it. (earned the title of "Fastest Woman on Ice" Snowmachine Radar Race. 87.5 on a quarter mile *low octane.)
Step two Question:....where can I find/order turbos? (Remember I'm in Alaska and most places wont ship up here cause they're retardos.
Step three: LIFT!!! (no, not a lame @$$ body lift, I mean LIFT!)
Step three question: How much of a lift? I can't do much of a lift because I'm 5 inches above midget hieght. (stop laughing.)
Step four: Rims, I got ugly lame 14" rims. I majorly dislike them. I would like to put some fatty tires on my truck after I lift it.
Step four Question: If I wanna lift, and get fatties, what size rim should I be getting? currently I can't go to too many different Rim or tire size since the tires would end up brushing the wheel well. BUT depending on the lift.... what are my options? (I am no good with rim:tire ratios... so explain in detail.)
Step five:SPRAY PAINT! Sand the body down (possibly finding BAHA fenders, and new bed. Lima found a few holes in the bed... time for a new one.) I already know EXACTLY how I wanna paint my truck. and That I will keep a surprise.
Engine from side view.
