5.3 Alice Hombre, a mild custom..

Hard to believe you have had no replies in 2 years so I had to say, "Nice work" from a fellow Phoenician.
Looks like you might have paid a visit Speedway for a quick change rear. I still have to go there and check out their store.

I am thinking about a LM7 with twins for my Camaro. Do you know of anyone in the valley who will sell a complete pull-out engine for a reasonable price? I cannot see paying $3500 for a complete used one.

I agree. I like all of the work that's been done and that you put your own twist on it. Good job!

That racing rear was pretty impressive looking under there. As tight and clean as it is you'd think it would be a more popular option. But, trucks just don't get that much love around here.

yea, it’s a pink truck.. lol most people just walk or scroll on by. Same at carshows. Kinda sucks, but kinda fun at the same time.

Ive been to speedway a time ro two, they have a car show coming up. But the rear axle was ordered from Winters Performance out of PA

I still have to go there and check out their store.

Sat oct 22^nd is the car show, 0800-1600

I buy and sell these engines all the time. I will never pay over $1200. Any u-pullit yard inphx sells complete, minus ac compressor, Ls motors for $325—sometimes with a a 20% discount.

I cannot see paying $3500 for a complete used one.

unless its an LSA or something cool like that, a gen 3 or 4 4.8/5.3 is all you need. And theyre cheap
Where you at in az? Im at many of the shows

Dude!!! Love the truck! Reminds me of the old 90'/early 2000's mini truck days. Really well done, send more updates.

This is such a great build.

just like that, a snap of the finger and boom 4 months fly by...

Truck has been driven and getting miles as i enjoy it. Most of the interior is done, we're getting ready to add some graphics, a couple more body mods, and then the outside should be finally completed.

The thoughts of a single turbo keep getting thrown into the mix, so we will see what happens there.

Little group picture.

while the hombre has been in the shop, I have had some time to do some work on my blazer..

Very nice build. Lots of attention to detail.

I remember the Hombres. They were never very common.

So, I've got a few body modifications completed on the hombre and I'm thinking of adding a single turbo to the combo with around 8 psi.
Been doing quite a bit of research, as i dont want it build boost like a nitrous hit, but, i dont wnt it dead until 5500 rpms either.



anyone have any good experience and have a suggestion or two?
