    Project Cocaine

    Some of you have followed my truck over the yrs. From its first turbo setup in 08 to its twins in 2010 and now for 2014 the truck is going back to an auto. I had enough of the issues that are related to the manual and power setup for me the change and go back to an auto. The last issue was my firewall split from the clutch master, with all the pressure always applied from the pedal.

    so for this revision of the truck i got rid of alot of un needed weight. Weight form the skirts, weight from the front bumper, system and etc



    i then wanted a change in interior, so went with SEM landau black interior dye and had my panels dyed black. Also went ahead and had my headliner redone in black suede



    at this point i felt it was time to stiffen up the chassis some by doing a roll bar. I went ahead and did a 8 point chromo
    with with 3/16 polycarbonate for the rear glass
    wanted removable door bars as this is a street truck and not a full race truck. the wife wanted the door bars to be removable for when she drives the truck

    since im about looks little more then i am all out race. I wanted things to look as good as i could this one last time on this truck. So i decided to have my built 4l80 painted to match my motor. I dropped it off at body shop to have it painted basecoat/clearcoat with PPG products. paint color is arrival blue




    since 2006 my truck has had white leather door inserts to go with the two tone leather seats, for 2014 i wanted a all new look. i chose to have my interior dyed with SEM landau black and my door inserts done with black suede

    Spent tonight modifying the stock seat brackets to work with the corbeaus. Nice thing about this is can still use the side trim pieces to cover up seat frame.

    You can also see how well the bar is tucked up against the door

    Contacted a Tint guy and had him come to the garage and tint out the truck.

    Front windshield is 35%
    sides are 5%
    rear is 5%
    also had a 2" black vinyl border on the rear to help hide the screws

    well My heads showed up and I went a different direction, instead of the Mast 275s I now have the Mast 295s

    the mast 295s have a 2.25 intake valve

    ive measured the ports and my exhaust port measures 1 13/16 x 1 3/4
    my intake port measures 1.260 x 3.250

    if you look at the pics my holley Hi ram is much smaller and will need to be ported
    I measured that as well and it comes out to .95 x 3.1
