Looks like a cool project, how big are they compared to a tacoma?

[calvynandhobbs]

That is a fullsize truck and they sit really wide. I've seen a couple at different places when wheeling and they are very stable. One guy parked his sideways at the Silver Lake dunes last year on test hill, which is something you'd never even thinking about doing in any other Jeep. This one may be a little shorter than yours Jeremy since it is only standard cab, but I can't tell if it has a 6' or 8' box on the back of it.

Nice how's it run in the 1/4?  I had a 75 camero that i started with pops when i was 14 built the shit out of it.  went with a 327 that was completly done.  ended up being a 375 horse and 400lb of torque.  put on 125 horse nitrous for fun and had a field day with it.  car actually made it into the 12's.  i wasn't driving, but the car went into the 12's.  i miss it, but could never afford to finish it.

1/4 mile?  where is that?  The motor isn't tuned yet (never done that part, need pro help)

I ran mine at lebanon valley.  but you can also go to englishtown.  Lebanon valley cost me $250 for 3 runs.  it was on a charity day.  so i didn't race anyone.  as far as tuning it i can try to give ya a hand, but i don't have too much experience with carbs.  I had an old hot rodder friend of my fathers help me when i built the camero.  he went on to work for Jasper motorsports doing suspension and fabrication for they're nascar team.
