500hp?pssss geting a 1000 hp motor that will run like 110 octane for sled pulling
and it will be a sunday driver hehe
Nice, I wanna keep this one gas, but eventually I wanna pickup a first gen cummins dodge, use it as a hauler, stacks, dually.
Once I finish this truck I want to either fix up my dad's old 7.3, or get a first gen cummins like I said.
Update I got the bed off and started stripping the frame... Any tips on the factory rubber paint? I'm not sure whether to completely rid of it, or to just smooth it out, what do you all think? I plan on coating it with POR15.
anybody else have an opinion in the matter? It says that por15 practically hooks into the metal, so should the rest of the rubber paint (factory) be sanded completely off or just smoothed out?
if the rubber factory paint is flaking off i would take a wire wheel to it just my thought but i live in wi and my plow truck went to hell in a hurry. so your frame will differ
oh by the way i had open headers running a few inches of pipe on my 89 and beleive me i was heard miles away but be careful how many times u get pulled over.

Thanks guys, yeah I wanna have a practically ground up built truck to drive when I'm 16. A thing of beauty... You know what I'll do, I'll email por15 and ask them! Lol thanks guys.
back to this 500hp 318...... are you saying your going to spend $10,000
dollars on a 318 ? buy a big block and be done with it, and whoever said they were getting 750hp on 93pump gas has lost their mind. a good mild 440 is all you need. or you could find a 12 valve cummins and a 3/4 ton front suspention, and that cummins will bolt right up to a 727m24 trans.

318's are just as nice as a sbc in my opinion, plus I already have it. I have thought of throwing a cummins in it too... If I can get the funds together I want to get this project dodge I've been looking at, same thing just 2wd needs a bed, and a motor (440 six pack?) its painted lime green. If I were to throw a 440 in anything that would be it...
