The cam is a Ebay regrind done by a shop in Dallas.... I do not have Rhodes lifters but could pick them up.
As far as headers go do not have them cause they are not available for this truck. So I was planning on using the stock magnum exhaust manifolds. There are shorty headers available but no full length headers. Did see that Hooker list a full length set for 88-90 I believe. And have heard they will fit newer trucks. But they are almost $600 I would pay that but don’t want to be stuck with a set I can’t return. Maybe shorty headers over the stock manifolds then?
This is a budget build but I can also space it out to have more funds etc... My goal is to try to get the truck into the 13’s or possibly high 12’s. Yes the truck being a extended cab weighs a bit.
I will be running a 2800 rpm stall from PATC along with there kit to run the OD. And I can run 3:90 or 4:10 or 4:56 gears. I’m having that done at a local shop and will be supplying the parts. Never missed with a 8.25- have changed a center section on a 8.75 but the rear gear change has been put into the budget.
I should have got advice for the cam before I purchased it. I could sell it and pick another one. But I think I will just go ahead and use it I have it.
I will also plan on going with a 5.9 I have access to several of them.
Thanks for all the advice. Once again sorta new at some of this.
