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.

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.
