Damn,

Haven't updated in a while.

Bodylift went on trouble free use since I don't know, June.

Just daily driving it for a while tehre and then had a buddy want to buy it, said yes but he couldn't produce the money so now I'm back to keeping it.

Picked up another 2 285's for it so will run these until they are dead or I SAS it.

Thing has grown into me, only two things this sucker needs, a new engine with more power, and A/C, it does hella good even without a locker but that will come when I do the SAS

Might start logging back on here daily now as I ahve the 306, now I have Heads - ported holleys, PVS 1.6 roller rockers, Lunati pushrods and 24lb injectors fro that 306...

Might just do the swap on Carb initially as taht would be WAY easier and if I get tired of it, switch it over to a 5.0 harness and ecu utilizing the 24lb injectors I have now....

Thinking a letter cam and a smaller carb like a 550cfm will get the job done and probably an M5OD for tranny.... Hmm, might be ending up with a Speed Density 5.0 in a 1991 F150 soon with just that tranny and a brand new transfer case behind it.

Closing on my house on 23 Dec then the modding should kick back up again quickly as I am paying the loan on the 4Runner off at that time as well.

Pic's of various 4wd outings to come soon as well didn't realize I hadn't updated..

So,

since my last update has happened 4 things have happened.

1. I got at 1991 Ford F150 with recently rebuild 302 and speed density, runs great and has the ZF 5-speed which is a DREAM tranny.
2. I picked up a 1983 Mercury Capri RS with a 302 and GT40's, Holley 650 and letter cam.
3. I closed on my house on 27 December and started moving.
4. I got notified Last minute I was headed to Iraq.

So currently I have a new unpacked house, and 4 vehicles.

I'm making this post because of the truck. Initial thought was to keep it and build it because I love trucks. 2nd thought and one I'm leaning towards now is: That recently rebuilt 8.8 inch rearend, good tranny, good transfer case, and recently rebuilt 302 would work Marvelously.

I am going to be able to pay off all my bills when I am here, except for the new house. but the loan on the 4Runner, and the loan on the Saleen will be gone. I will then sell the Car, and possibly the 4Runner and the truck, if I do that I will get a new Double Cab Taco 4wd TRD, been pricing them out.

But the deal is this, I want a boat So I'm considering throwing the engine/trans/transfer case at the 4Runner. I will have a running car when i get back - the mercury has less than a 1,000 miles on it since the 302 was built. I've got big plans for it but they will come later.

What would you do, alot of time and effort and good times in this 4Runner, I don't mind taking it off-road as well. If i do the 302 it would get SAS and 37's... The only issue with that is, I have some cross country drives coming up, I need my 4 door to be my trip vehicle...

WWYD - if I sell the 4Runner as it is right now I would sell for you for around 3800...

I have a ton of new updated pic's, just realized I have none on photobook or online since i got he bodylift on, just imagine it with all black 285's now that match, and a 2inch body lift. Looks freaking Great and I could Easily fit 35's with no problems. The 33's/285's look just right though

Did alot of little wheeling trips and besides being down on power, she does GREAT, In Iraq but when i get back I'll update pic's, will be a few months haha.
