Just looking for thoughts on a project. I am getting ready to go through a 3.9, planning on $2K plus or minus. I already have heads that are ready to go, so no cost there, just short block. Back ground, 95 D1, sat for the better part of 6 years ran when parked but was weak. Truck shows 200K miles, bought it for storage as a tow away with a melted down T-case. Replaced the case and drove it home, and off and on for the next couple years. I plan on a few up grades, cam, dizzy (Pertronix or HEI). I plan on using the truck as a back up to my diesel D1. Also I am not putting many labor dollars into this, I will pull, assemble, install etc.
