5.0 to 5.8 swap staring saturday!
update.
the truck sounds good with the highflow cat and supper 44 muffler. not too loud nice deep rumble...
got a minor exhaust leak at the header collector...
compared to the 302, holy crap! this thing gets up and goes!!! only half throttle at a dead stop squawked the 35's on a stock 3.55 gear ratio amazing what an extra 60 lb.ft. will do lol
im thinkin 393 stroker when this one blows

my 302 used to be able to light up my 35's with help from some ATF lol that was till my old tranny dropped 1st gear and then the motor died lol...
i may need need to get a larger MAF sensor, seems like when i get up to about 3000 rpm it sounds like its choking out and running real rich, but idle-3000 it runs awesome

thats for just the rear axle. i dont know what my plans are for for the front yet so im holding off on that...
i got a new 220 volt 150 amp welder for my birthday so things may start to get interesting
lol
lol ive been doing some 3-D CAD sketches for a linked front figuring all the measurements/angles.
gotta love when my dads best friend works for a metal supplier and can get any type, shape, and size metal for cost, even seamless DOM tube.
