thats one badass truck, nice work man!!

 

what are the plans for the motor?

 

Well, I plan on completely wearing this ol' 4.8 out until its totally done for. Lol Then once that's outta the way...something completely badass. Fully built lq9? Or whatever sick motors GM will have made by then lol but for now for this 4.8 I'll probably supercharge it and an intake or something. I don't really want to dump a whole lot of money into such a small motor but who knows? Lol My dad has been into hot rods since he was younger then me hah He drag races 1/4 mile hot rods and used to have the fastest 1/4 mile time in Cocoran, CA for YEARS! So I know if I ask him for help on a fast-ass motor....I'm sure he won't let me down lol

 

Any suggestions?? I'm open to any ideas! Ha what do you all envy in a super sick motor? Ha
