nlongo33 Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Total sense. What do you intend to drop in? The 300 from your other Flareside? Yes eventually the whole drive train from 80 will get swapped over. For now need to get truck running well and safe. So Cam can drive her, while we clean and upgrade other drive train...in my twisted head it all makes sense Carb is really only thing holding this truck back. If you are careful with it it’s all good. That’s not good enough for a new driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like there are plenty of parts to cause lots of excitement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
