he's selling it for 8500. which sucks....cause yea, its worth that much...but, its cause of that paint job...

isn't it? it would be cheaper for me to buy this than to make my truck faster than this...i think so anyways. who knows what you spent on your truck so far...

derricksmash 04-01-2009 04:03 PM

but yea...i don't have 8500 sitting around to purchase this. i could sell my camaro, and get money for my truck (which would only pay it off). i wonder what my camaro will sell for?

Twink 04-01-2009 04:07 PM

i say save the cash and put it into ur ram

when i get more money im going small block in my SB SC. Maybe end of this season.. go all NA power and nothing like bawls behind ur right foot. Or maybe il even do the v10 swap

Twink 04-01-2009 04:12 PM

and in my opinion trucks are built not bought. Why spend money on something that's already been done you know what i mean? u get more respect for vehicles u put the time into i got over 200 hours into my truck now and every time i pop the hood / show it off everybody props me, which makes it alllll worth it because i know what i took to get it where it is.

derricksmash 04-01-2009 04:16 PM

yea...work is appreciated for sure. if i go to a track with $1500 put into my truck, and it runs a 15.8...where's the respect in that.

i wanna do a swap too. a 360 will fit under our hood...but then i'd not be able to pass emissions laws here in illinois...which in turns gets my license suspended. but yea, a crate engine would bolt in for under $10,000. which is a lot, but not bad.

but...you could have been 75% of the way there already....i'm not even embellishing...u siad u spent 5g's in the other thread. u could have bought a crate motor for that...then you're left with labor, which u may or may not be able to do. i sure as hell wouldn't. well, i guess u need the computer/harnesses/tranny. but still...that leave your 5k already spent being able to acquire half of what u need minus labor.

Twink 04-01-2009 06:29 PM

im confident in my 6cyl. to be able to perform fairly well for its weight. Although its going to be overworked and i expect it to blow up before the end of the season ;). Then il buy a crate motor

well...that's exactly what i'm saying...lol

and with all the money, it will perform "fairly well"...prior to explosion.

raminator08 04-01-2009 09:02 PM

jeez, $10G for just an engine!
thats not happening anytime soon for me lol

raminator08 04-01-2009 09:02 PM

lets see, if twink spent $5k on his truck, just for $3.5 for, you could get a another truck that is potentially faster. but of course, you will feel a whole better doing it yourself. you can be proud of your hardwork
i actually like the paint job on that truck. at least its not those cheap fake vinyl flames that people do. those look really ugly

i like my ram though..jsut not it's power. and i am just spoiling myself. this is the front of my house in summer:
http://i40.tinypic.com/2me3fgo.jpg
and there's usually a maxima parked out front too...and that's fast as ****. i have all the power i need, just none of it being trucks. now i'm considering selling the camaro for the shear purpose of buying myself an old s10 and throwing an ls1 in it...jsut for the sake of having a pickup that is fast...and i LOVE that camaro. i got this truck and was like, "eh, it's a work truck. i don't need to hemi". and now i wish i just would bought an old truck two years ago and went from there...not a stupid v6 underpowered ram.
