Dream Car Mods

Full thick wall rectangular tube frame
3/8 skid plate full front
Full thickwall round tube front bull bar with tire protection
Full roll age for engine bay, interior only
Roll cage style bracing through trans tunnel tying into engine bay cage and rear exterior cage
Armored doors, built in doorbars
Standard full lumber rack but built entirely out of standard wall box tubing
The rack should be able to hold at least the truck weight + 3 tons and at least 2 over the cab
Rack will also have various tackle points to run winch cable through for rolls, as well as side protection
Very thick heavy rock sliders running full length, straight
Cummins 8.4 swap
Very much heavy duty suspension system

All this on a first gen ram 250 regarding cab short bed

The idea is that it can just never break and be a very reliable overlanding truck. Probably forgetting a lot.

Oh and be able to take a car at 40mph and climb over it without major damage

hilborn injection beneath a 6-71 supercharger

Topped with a bug catcher.

I forgot to add

>hilborn injection?
>WITH A SUPERCHARGER?

Anything is possible if you keep throwing money at something.

Installing a top fuel dragster engine

you realize it would probably only last about 100 miles, right?

I know. I wouldn't be DDing it obviously

that is 400 quarter-miles, friend

>you will never drive something that needs this much fucking nitromethane PER CYLINDER

why even live

Better make that about 2 miles, then.

I've heard even idling they start to tear themselves apart.

Fucking metal.

>you will never have an alcohol motor to help out your dual V12 tank engines

why even live

>but I will concede that having the intake sit 90 degrees seems like a waste of potential boost

It probably can generate more boost than it can handle.

fucking Danes

has science literally gone too far??

I cant remember if these are dual Allison V12's or V16's. Local tractor to my area.

Even more badass than the turbine powered tractors.

Ls1 swap

...

what I probably will do in the near future
>351 windsor swap, nothing big just a regular carb'd stock 80s truck motor
>swap C6 for dana 60
>install these speakers in my doors to replace the trashed 90's units (amazon.com/dp/B003KN2TGM/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2DSV3ZMZA3QSN&coliid=I268JKBKVDUCUB&psc=1)
>find an 100w RMS amp to install (does anyone know a decent 2ch or 4ch that is small?
>install seatbelts
>swap front I beams for ones with disk breaks
>dual master cylinder
>get the right speedo drive
>install the new heater core I have
>fix my fucking tail light.

things I want to do that won't get done for a very long time
>crown victoria suspension swap
>428 or 429 FE or 385 swap with atomic or holley or whatever TBI self learning efi I can swap on
>either build a C6 with a gear vendors unit or 5 or 6 speed swap (preferably auto for muh drag racing)

>add an auxiliary gas tank on the other side of the bed where the tool box isn't
>repaint hunter green

I went to a lot of tractor pulls when I was a little kid, but they never had setups like these. Can someone tell me why people with so much money and engineering talent want to invest in making a tractor pull a 30-ton sled in a straight line? Just for the respect you get from all the trailer trash who showed up in their lifted Chevy Silverados?

Direct Exhaust Injection.

its endless boost, you're an idiot if you haven't done this yet

They're too scared to put their time and money into building an actual dragster I guess

am I better off doing this...

or this?

>All extra weight
>All at the very front of an already front heavy car
Fucking retarded

There are national and international circuits. They have the money, they have fun, and there is prize money to win.

so just mount the filter on the turbo?
what about open turbos/ no filter?

Just buy a 390 or a 429 TJ

You trying to wreck your compressor?

then you're losing surface area to incoming air

air comes from the front, and there is a big cap on the front of the cone that wouldn't allow air in

it's better to have the bend so that air can travel through the filter unimpeded

>390
2 small
>429 TJ
would be tits

can't do a BBF yet, no money and I would need another transmission. the c6 in my truck right now is for the 300 i6 which has the same bolt pattern and converter as the small block ford.

thunder jet would be so awesome.

Sounds like you're using the wrong kinds of filter, uleh.
My K&N has an open front

...

>390 too small.

428 crank+ 390= 410 stroker

C6's are cheap.

>c6 are cheap
they are, but I have a working C6 that all I need to do to attach a V8 to is buy a running 351w, get some motor mounts, and run it as is.

Might as well go 400 or 351C

All hail Chtularu.

Personally money is no object Id love to have an S200" with the full Amuse GT1 wide body and hardtop.

Would need a hell of a lot done performance wise though. That kit is the polar opposite of subtle, would definitely need absurd performance to back it up.

>400
400m is pretty rare, not much aftermarket
>351c
shit uleh. 2 heavy, weak block, 2v heads are shit, more rare and a lot more expensive.

351w is like a 302, but better in almost any way
