Anyways, good luck with that dodge. I'd probably be a good idea to freshen the motor up a bit, preferably with a block not made by cost-cutting chrysler of the 70's. Are you going MS, fmu, or blow-through carbing?

i'm not gonna do a whole lot to the motor,

i'm gonna get a semi nasty cam for it, with " turbo " specs, and put a timing chain set on it, being as how mopar used NYLON theeth on there cam gear of the timing chain set.

i'm gonna leave ima carbed too, i don't have that kinda money to EFI it, unless some one has some crazy modding skills, and can figure out how to EFI this thing cheap...

You think the jeep magnum stups would work on these ?! .. ohh man, now you got me thinkin !! this can be very very bad !!

The thing about the motor,

i bought the truck with 23k ORIGINAL miles on it, i replaced the ballist resistor, and rigged up a fuel line from the f-pump, and started it up,

it's an old Atlantic ritchfeild company truck used in the alaskan pipe line back in the 70's

and along with it...it's ARCO blue, ..well was, it's now ratta taat tatt black.

i had to spray paint it before it rusted, and it only cost me about 40 $ to rattle can it,

it WILL be " painted " the right way when i get it up and running, right now it's funny cause it's ugly, so i'ma leave it that way
