This truck was originally a 4.3 V6, and a 4L60E auto transmission.  The drive train had around 195,000 miles on it, and was road worthy from the beginning. A 5.7 / 350 that originally came out of a 1990 Suburban engine was freshened up, with a few goodies added.  The goal was to build a basically stock-looking truck, but with a little added "pep".  So the Throttle Body fuel injection was retained, NEW V8 injectors were installed, and a custom computer chip made for the engine & transmission. The only other than stock additions to the engine was a set of roller rocker arms, and a camshaft that was a stock replacement for an late 80's TPI Camaro.  The valve train is full roller, but it is a FACTORY roller setup.  A 4L60E transmission was upgraded internally to include the proper parts & torque converter for the V8.  An oil filter offset adapter was added, as well as proper engine adapter plates & NEW engine/trans mounts.  Transmission is all stock,  (rebuilt) except for a shift kit & an added B&M Shift switch, and an extra added bar & plate trans cooler.  The cooling is done by dual fans mounted behind the grille, and they are connected to an adjustable thermostatic switch.  Exhaust is custom bent & TRUE duals, with specific-fitting exhaust manifolds and 2 Flow master Big-Block series mufflers, and exhaust exits in the stock location, both tips behind the passenger rear wheel.  This truck has a set of Pacer 15  x 8 aluminum wheels (Weld lookalikes) with a full set of BF Goodrich Radial T/A 245/60-15 tires. An AutoMeter Monster tach with shift light was added.  Air Conditioning and Heater are connected and work very well.  The rear fold-out seats were missing so custom made enclosures were made to house a set of Sony Xplod Dual Voice coil 10" Subwoofers; they are powered by a Phoenix Gold M100 Amplifier.  The factory speakers were replaced with stock-size Sony Xplod speakers as well, and they are powered by a Phoenix Gold M44 Amplifier.  Both amps receive power through HUGE cable, and from 2 digital capacitors.  The amplifiers have dual LED fan cooling mounted on top of them.  The deck is a Sony Xplod AM/FM CD/MP3.Due to the power requirements of all that was added, a special built hi-amp alternator was also added. I want to add that this truck was built by a talented friend.
