He has a few plans for this truck at this point that I will lay out and see what you think.
1.) Rebuild the motor (it has over 80,000 miles and needs the rebuild.
2.) Install a 4 valve head on the engine. This will increase his horsepower and fuel economy.
3.) Possibly install a turbo on the truck with the 4 valve head. This will depend on if he can find a mount that will fit under the hood, knowing him he will be able to pull it off.
4.) Remove the original 5 speed and and 2 speed rear end and replace them with a 4:10 rear end and a 13 speed transmission.
5.) Re-position the battery to an actual battery box behind the fuel tanks.
6.) Improve the steering and suspension in the front end of the truck to make it more stable driving down the highway.
7.) take the body off the frame and take it to a body shop to be properly straightened and painted.
that is the current plan. I will keep you up to date as things change on this beast.
Anyone have a 4 valve head from a 3-71 or 6v-71 two stroke lying around?
