A lot of updates. I haven't posted the build but it's on the road. Not 100% complete but I've put 4K miles on it.
I went with a all aluminum 4.6 3v and TR360 5 speed. Balance is 53/47 front to rear! I used Nascar truck arms and coilovers all around. The chassis does pretty good but it needs some fine tuning.
The engine makes 332hp to the tires with just cams, exhaust and a custom tune. I had gauges built to monitor everything. I'm installing BMW 750 seats now. I removed 16 motors from them! Lol
Here's a few pics.

I've had 2 surgeries on my rt elbow since I started this thread so that slowed me down a little. I'm dealing with Psoriasis arthritis now in my ankles so that again has slowed me down. This old truck keeps me active which is what I need more than anything.
I've drag raced it in a truck hard tire class and it did ok. No times were displayed so I have no idea on et or mph.
I have a nitrous system partly installed. It will be 100% automatic. Remote bottle opener, wot and window switch and bottle warmer on a thermostat.
I just did a cruise from Chattanooga to Somerset Kentucky. Some guy in a new Mustang GT kinda challenged me through some curvy sections of mountain roads and it did pretty good except the bench seat. We slid around alot. Lol
That's the reason for the lowbuck BMW seats.
I'll post more pics when I finish the seats.
