    Don't sweat it Riley. But when you're asking questions on things like engine rpm's - then the question grows into other topics because to get accurate rpm readings involves the whole package if you will. Wheel sizes and Outside diameter / final drive ratio and of course tranmission all work together.

    Sometimes we aren't very "gracefull" when asking for information as we assume the Original Poster knows what we mean when we type a reply.

    We all have a new and hopefully better picture of what you're working on. Keep at it, we're looking to hear how the motor works out! If you want - flip me a pic or two and I'll put'em up for you.

    No apologies needed. You'll hear it again and again 'round here. Combination / combination / combination... It's all about making the "package" work well together.

    Overall, "we" are a pretty laidback group. Once in awhile it may become all to serious, when that happens, just walk away and take a break and remember "it's just car or truck.." and the only one that needs to find happiness is the one who's paying the bills.

    Now hurry up with the d_ _n pictures!

    And really the only flaw is the brakes are a bit soft, 12.5 inches of vacuum

    Thanks for closing the loop and letting us know what you decided to do with the truck. Hope you'll stick around and be a part of the action here, now that you've run the gauntlet with the engine build, and looking forward to seeing some pictorial evidence that this truck is real!!

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
