i need some more mods, but they cant be too expensive because my dad says the truck is only worth $2000 cause he's been in a couple wrecks and wont let me do anything outragous to it but i think since we got under it this weekend to put the exhaust on and its not to bad under there he'll be more willing. But so far i have an edelbrock intake, and a magnaflow exhaust, and tons of other cosmetic and audio stuff. but im really looking for preformance. But i would like to know how to lower the back 1-2 inches to make it level
Thanks

 

cams, tuner, headers, larger tb, electric fan, hiflow cat, and i think for the 5.2 you can get an msd ignition.

 

can you tell me more about the cams?

 

lol i cant, i dont know that much. theres a thread from a few days ago about cams. theres some info on there. but i can tell you its going to be expensive, cams plus a tune/tuner. its easier for the 4.7 because they make HO direct replacement cams so you dont need a tune. do some internet searches.

 

Edelbrock heads or

how hard is it to put the cylinder heads on?

 

im not trying to be mean or anything but the fact that you even ask that question says its beyond your capabilities. ive taken 3 years of automotive training and have been workin on cars/trucks/dirtbikes for the past 10 years and i still wouldnt mess with the heads on my personal daily driver w/o some help from someone who has done it before. by ur user name i take it your dad gave it to u? if so ask him for some help itll be a great learning experience and some quality time with your dad which you cant get enough of either but if you feel up for it go for it

 

Not my daily driver, its winter here so we are out in the garage all the time either working on his car or my truck. so once we finish the body kit on his car we'll start on the truck, i didnt knw it was aginst the rules to ask some questions and suggestions on this forum?

 

Are you serious... heads are easy as hell to take off... especially on these motors...

Just use the Felpro gasket for a LA 360 and some ARP Stunds or head bolts when you reinstall... heads are VERY Easy.. all you do is unbolt and then put back on. U been going to school for how long? Sheesh give me a set of tools and a garage and ill take the heads off... you learn by doing, reading books is alright, but the real learning comes from hands on... like i said in my other thread about cams.

I feel very sorry for you if you been working on cars/trucks/whatever for 10 years and still afraid to mess with heads. Doesn't your school give you test heads/blocks to work on? Or is it just read a book and then think your a pro?

 

my schooling has been very hands on but ive never done heads and im sure i could if i tried but there are easier and cheaper mods than heads
