Scott I'm cheap. I may eventually change intake manifolds, but its not likely until I'm pulling the motor apart to put a better cam in it.
The motor I have setting in the frame does not have the air conditioning parts on it, but the one I actually plan to use is in a car with working air, and most likely I'll try to install that in the truck too...
And when you think of everything I plan to add to this truck it will not be light! But it will be less than 8800 pounds by a long shot.
