I have to say this rig rides really well, dunno if someone has done something different but i cant complain at all, the block was broke from where the crank got ahold of the post and shoved it into the block, I believe the cat was rated at 245 hp, I would have to look to be sure, I gutted the interior of a 94 chevy 3/4 ton reg cab pickup and put it all in the kodiak, including the plush 60/40 bench, am/fm cassette, power windows and full cloth interior, I also installed the A/C from the pickup into the kodiak, I do need to make brackets for the a/c compressor as it will not work in the stock location. thanks for the compliments, I wasnt sure about the purple but everyone seems to like it!
