ok... so i have been starting to loose hope completely.... my 3.4 is gone.... but rereading this entire thread made me wanna work on it!... i scored a set of fiberglass fenders today from tear-a-part for 35 bucks! they are like 6 inches wider then stock. im gonna put them on and post pics.
so i need help.... should i find another 3.4, try a super hard 4.0 lexus v8 or just find another 22ret or 22re motor? or .... scrap the project? i figure 22ret will be the easiest way to get it done fast. a 3.4 swap will put me right back to stuck with no wiring and no running truck. its just sitting collecting dust. now with the front axle pulled and torn apart waiting for me to cut my housing for my elocker.... any ideas?????

dude just get a 22R/RE block and wireing whatever...and build it..im sure you can get an extra 30 horses from rebuilding it .30 over with a cam and head..doesnt HAVE to have a turbo does it? also sweet outcome...it was worth reading the whole thing

Just work on one truck at a time..Instead of piecing each truck together piece by piece..
Just work on your truck
then while your waiting on parts etc, to be shipped or funds to come in
work on another..

so i might be able to get a low milage supercharged v6 from a like 99 buick for like 200 bucks. good idea?
i will have to pull it from the car, but thats means ill have the full harness and computer. im probly gonna be into a 22ret over 1500 bucks.
