Engine Swaps

[HACKGT350]

right now im swapping my old used up flat tappet 5.0 for a 5.0 out of a 01 explorer. the heads will be mildly ported with better valve springs to accept the higher lift cam i want. edlebrock rpm air gap intake mated to a tuned 650DP and a 150 shot of nitrous. msd dizzy and 6al box with a manual timing retard/advance module so i can retard the timing when i want to run the nitrous and advance it for when im just running around on the street. swapping out the 7.5 rear for a 8.8 with kevlar friction disks and 3.73 gears. that is all for now.

200k miles on the original block and you can still see the cross hatches in the cylinder walls.
