5.8L, 143K hard miles, Melling HV oil pump, deleted thermactor system, trying to figure out how to replace smog pump with York compressor for on-board air
Drivetrain:
E4OD, BW1356, Stock 8.8" rear with limited slip, open front Dana 44 TTB with stock gearing as well. 6" Skyjacker suspension lift and 35" BFG MT KM tires. Custom rear shackle flip plus 2" tapered blocks.
Notes:
Rear fenders trimmed for extra clearance... considering hacking all the fenders and removing the lift to lower the highway profile and center of gravity for off-camber climbing.
