I just wanted to start my build thread. Right now it’s more of a gathering of parts since I am in Afghanistan. I have some big plans and a large pile of parts already. I will start out with my list of parts I have already and then what I have planned.

I already did the master cylinder upgrade when I was on my last R&R but that’s all I got done.

The list;
383 SBC short block
Turbo 400 with NP205
Edelbrock Performer intake and cam kit
Holley truck avenger 770 cfm carb
Patriot Performance cylinder aluminum heads
Novak motor mounts
Block hugger ceramic headers
Flaming River column
Full set of Autometer Cobalt gauges
LED oval flush mount tail lights

Now I need to figure out what I need next. I am trying to get all the big ticket parts to get everything bolted up and rolling when I am on my next 2 week R&R.

I Need a wiring harness, cooling system, and the rest of the little stuff for the motor.

I haven’t decided on what axles I want to go with. I have been back and forth on stock or rockwells. If I stay stock I will get the 41 inch IROK’s and some MRW bead locks if I go with the rocks I will run 14 r 20’s with MRW bead locks and both will be turned with the PSC hydro assist steering.

I have 2 months until I am back in the states and I will post all sorts of pics as soon as I can
