Well this project has been a long time coming. I was 10 when I got this truck and now 25 years later I finally have the time and money to work on it. I have had many ideas about what I wanted this truck to be when I was done. Here is where I need your help. If the 250 in this truck is in good enough shape to rebuild I could really use some advise.
I'm at the point now where the engine is out of the truck and on the stand. I have read Leo's inline six book a few times, and I'm reading it again now. I would like to run an aluminum head either the Kirby/Sissel head or if the timing is right the cross flow New Zealand head I have seen on here. With a turbo or supercharger is 400-500hp at the crank really possible and just how well that would that hold together with the right parts. EFI would also be a must.
Now the pictures.
That's me in the back at the age of 10. The same year I got the truck.
And on it's trip home last year.
Now is there anything you see here that I should worry about so far?
