Not really. A little more grunt for pulling power is what spurred this thread. I was OK with it as it ran, just figuring if it's in pieces there is no more trouble putting it back together with different parts instead of the same parts. And I already own all the parts, too. :D
Well thank goodness it's not your time, your money, your effort or your truck. I shall soldier on with my (sadly) steep learning curve. Besides, yours is already way nicer than this one will ever be, and that's with it still in a bunch of pieces in your garage.
Kudos to you for spending all that money and time for said results and not losing your bananas...
The V8 granny for speed two-wheel drive that I was referring to and comparing to your truck was a 1973 I had a couple years ago and I'm sure did a big thread on...
A truck I bought for $700 probably put a few months of time in a couple k into and I drove it for a month while it drove absolutely perfect 70 down the freeway with one finger on the wheel it drove me absolutely bananas driving that Granny fout speed.. (I was making zero comparison nor did I mention my current truck...as there isn't any...)
