ASA Pro Truck
I picked up a rolling chassis a few months back from a friend in Alameda, CA. I've always been interested in the older Spec Trucks and finally found a deal that I couldn't pass up. The idea was to make an autocross and/or road race build, but I'm mostly looking to learn as much as I can along the way.
Somewhere down the line, I'd like to put a pre 1975 CA registered truck cab on the chassis and make it 'street-legal'. Not sure if anyone else in this form has done that, but the "Nascarlo" episode on RoadKill got me thinking...
So far:
-5.3L LM4 out of a wrecked Buick Rainier (all stock).
-4L80E with manual valve body (I know it should have been a Jerico, but I had the 4l80e laying around)
-GMC Sierra (Spec) Brakes.
-Quick change rear end.
Next Up (Looking for input if you have any ideas)
-Shifter = Ratchet or Gated?
-Trans Cooler = Would prefer to have a fan and/or shroud set up, but any recommendations are welcomed.
-Motor/Trans Mounts = Is solid the best way to go? The motor is stock, so shouldn't make more than 315hp all in. Is rubber, poly, or solid the best way to start?
