Default Operation B.B.B.B. is a go!

So over the past few months I have been restoring my 96 Ram have had for 20 years. After new paint, replacing broken interior items and 4.56 gears I am now going forward with the tranny rebuild and the engine rebuild. Originally I planned on rebuilding the motor and stroking it but I recently came across a great deal and got my hands on a procharger along with an M1 intake from a member here on the forum. Needless to say I'm stoked to get this going. So we are planning on new stock heads and forged internals on the 8lb pulley. This is something I wanted to do but never wanted to drop the coin on a SC but this deal I just couldn't pass up. I am not looking for a race truck, I have the Hellcat for that kind of stuff, but I am looking forward to being able to hang with other trucks that can just walk away from me now. My builder was a procharger dealer so he is very comfortable with this build. So operation Big Blue Boosted Beast is a go!

Thanks I'm super stoked! Yes pics will come. Just need this snow and ice to melt so I can drop it off for two weeks and be able to drive the Hellcat around while it's getting worked on.

So we are planning on new stock heads
I would opt for aftermarket heads. The stockers have been known to crack. EQ's or maybe aluminum would be a good choice.

Haha I have cat scratch fever. Over 2 months since I've been able to drive it with probably another before it's cleared up enough to take her out.

Sorry new stock heads. They flow better than original stock and come wire a 5 year warranty.
