Default Hi everyone! Lemme tell you about me

Hey guys! The username you read is (kinda) correct, I have a 1988 chevy k3500 Cheyenne that I'm planning on swapping a dodge 8.0l V10 magnum into. Its in the design phase right now, I haven't even taken it apart yet, so it'll be a minute. I do however have a drive train pick out though, I'm going to use an NV5600 6 speed transmission from a dodge, the trucks original transfer case (hopefully) and the original differentials. Will definitely keep this forum updated with pics and more.

Welcome to DF! The 8.0 is a nice motor, but, quite thirsty. We want pics of the build.... though, I am not entirely sure where you should put it.

Thx for the welcome, and I'm well aware of the wonderful gas mileage they get lol, won't be too much of a difference though, my carbed 350 gets between 8 and 10, with a 4.88 rear and 33s LOL 🤣

Needs bigger tires. I think 37's would be appropriate with 4.88s.
