Figured id finally post my truck on here and tell the story. only been on here for quite a few years already and have had 9 lightning.
The entire project started when i had my white 94 lightning #3349 and truck was in rough shape i had started restoring it i got to the point where i needed a bed desperately. I had found this truck (tan 94 xlt) on local marketplace it was hit in the front and the frame was bent but the truck was super clean body. i had brought it home and looking over i fell in love with the color and all the truck need was a front fender and a frame. So i ended up abandoning the lightning and swapping the nice frame under the tan XLT.
The motor started off as a 1988 e250 i bought had a rebuilt jasper motor. stuck some junk pro comp heads on it and a super victor intake with a Pro-charger D1SC and a Trickflow stage 2 cam. Stuck a built th400 behind it billet shafts throughout and valve body and 36 element sprag. Stuck a 9 inch in it with a stock case 31 spline carrier Detroit. i had broke 4 center sections before i finally bought a nice aluminum bolt through case with 35 spline axles and spool. Truck is ran on a Holley Term X and a 6.86 prodash.
And now the project has escalated extremely quickly with a DART 438 short block and a set of brodix track 1 heads, F1A Procharger and a custom converter being i was fighting the junk off the shelf hughes converter
With the SBE 351w it had went a 11.65@112mph. new goal is going to be a 9 something... lol
