2 years??? Thats a long time, spend money for another year on paintball things and such, then worry bout it. I remember when I was 14 thinking about this. I thought I had to have a nice truck or car. No im 16 and I have a 94 GMC Sierra with a V8. Trust me, once you buy gas for that big block you'll be begging for a geo metro. -------------

then just get a cheap truck that isnt lifted and has no dents and drop in the big block and roll. later on you could paint it lift it put on some big tires and nice wheels. check the news papers for cheap trucks. did you say you had a 407? ------------- I LIKE BIKES! |

I have seen some badass S-10 street trucks. My cousin has 4 of them and they all have V-8's. I would reccomend an 80-early 90's model if you want cheap. They have a more blocky body. Put a hood scoop and some street tires and rims on it and the V-8. Maybe some racing stripes if you get the money. If you dont want that I would get an old Z71 and make it as big as possible. -------------

How many of these do you see. I got two S-10 around the corner from me and I seen more than that. These Chevy trucks are made for big block Chevy's and allot easier to work on. You can lower it raise it what ever you would like to do. They have a full solid frame.

if you got it out of a corvette then it is probaly a LT series. if it is a 407 then it probaly started out as a 350 smallblock and was bored, balanced and blueprinted out to be a 407. my neighbor has a chevy nova witha 407 running on high octane jet fuel. it huals ass. the fastest he went with me in it was 140 mph but he has got it goind alot faster. are you gonna go for a street ride or a mud runner like i got? i think that you should look for a late 70's chevy halfton shortbed. then you should lift it and put 35" boggers on it. my truck is a 78 ford f-150 with a 400M big bock, a 12'' lift, 39.5" X 18" boggers on 16.5" weld scorpios. it is blue. i use that as my mud runner. ------------- I LIKE BIKES! |

I would have bigger tires but I actually drive this truck around when im not mudding. I already put 20 bucks a week for gas into it and I dont want it to go up to 40 bucks. Maybe if I get me a car like I want I will get bigger tires. But for now they are fine. Some guy around here has a Chevy silverado with like 50's and over 20 inches of lift. His name is Chad Lamb. The sad thing is....it has never touched the mud... its just his pleasure truck. He cant go over 15 mph on curves or he can possibly 2-wheel it. Its just to show off his money I guess.-------------

If its a Chevy make sure its an 87 and older due to it haveing the solid front axle. Lifts are so much easier to put on and on the wallet. Ive got an 89 Chevy 4x4 and its sux cause its goin to cost so much to put a lift on cause mine would look good with a lift. ------------- SL68II Pro/Am 68 Carbine |

Well first off id like to point out that a big block gas will By no
means be affordable to drive AT ALL. As for towing even a V6 can
tow most anything most people will need but if your boats got any real
weight (Over 6000LBS) id look at a Diesel not a Big block gasser.
If your dead set on a gas cheby nothing beats the old 350Ci V8 And if
your Absolutly dead set on a big block Gas the 460 Fords the king for
muscel. NOW diesels are the way to go as they get better fuel
milag my 444ci (7.3L) turbo Diesel get 17mpg mixed driveing and pulls
way better than any gasser ever will.

NO my first truck was a 1999 Ford ranger that cost me a pretty penny to
say the least. I basically got this one for $5000CDN but this is
my 4th vehical so i dont know. My 1999 Ford Ranger had a small
3.0L V6 and was a very capable light hualer that regularly got
22mpg+. My current Diesel gets 17mpg but it is a old school engine without any computers the newer diesels can beat that easy. I got my Diesel about 5 months back and she only had 100000miles on her. It can pull a trailer up too 12000lbs from what i read but i have never tested this. I have had 2000lbs in the beds and the truck did not even feel the load and was easily pulling 6% grade hills while accelerating in OVERDRIVE  . I have driven MANY
pickup trucks from old Ford gassers with the 300ci (4.9L) Six and a
three in the tree manual transmishion to the newest dodges and
chevys. And to be honest if i had to buy a gas truck id find
either a old 1980s-1996 Ford 300 six, or 5.0L. Or a chevy
350. If you are looking diesels the best are the OLD fords and
Chevys (the dodges had the best engine but the trucks are crud + there
really expensive). The chevys old 6.2 (1984-1993)diesel non turbo
is a Great long lasting engine that gets amazing fuel economy but lacks
the power of Fords 6.9L and 7.3L IDIs (1983-1994) the engine i have is
the same 7.3 listed above but has the added bonus of a turbo givine me
ALOT more power but this engine is hard to find as it was only made for
two years 1993-1994 although there are MANY after market turbos for all
the above listed engines. For more diesel info go http://www.thedieselstop.com/ - here ------------- AGD 68 Automag Azodin KPII Sheridan PGP2K Tippmann Crossover XVR Tippmann ProCarbine Tippmann SL68-II Tippmann TiPX |

get a 87 or older chevy truck or a 73-79 ford that has a good straight body and then put in the engine you have now or if you have the money then put in a 6.9L deisel. they are better for towing. i personaly like gas trucks but if you are going to be doing alot of towing then go with a deisel. if you are only going to be towing every one in a while then get a gas. ------------- I LIKE BIKES! |

yeah i wont be towing ALL the time. i think i'll go and see what i see and tell you if anything pops up and i'll make sure to get your guys's opinion before i buy it. thanks guys for all of your help. also the ho i wouldnt be able to put the Big Block i have right now into the ford. it's a chevy motor. well thanks anyway. but before i go i have one last question..... what is a good truck/engine combo that gets good mileage and still has some spunk to haul stuff? thanks a ton guys. i dont know how i ever lived without the tippmann forum.

Hmm Well best Truck Engine combo for MPG, Power, would be like a
1986-87 Ford F250 Reg Cab 2wd 6.9L Diesel (Aftermarket Turbo)
with a five speen stickshift trans and a 3.55 rear diff. That set
up would get you into the 20+mpg area and would pull GREAT even be able
to give some newer trucks a run for there money. BUT that would also cost around $8000 to buy and build up so for a CHEAP decent haulin Gasser look at the 4.9L (300CI) Six cylinder Ford Trucks. They haule better than most V8's get a VERY little bit better fuel milage than there 5.0L V8 counter parts and are easily found and are very cheap to buy. They have a little less Hp than the 5.0L V8 Ford but more Torque. The engine is also VERY easy to work on as it is a straight six so it is supper thine giveing you alot of room to work. I have a buddy that owns one in a F150 it is a 1994 and he uses it to pull is drag mustang to the track. ------------- AGD 68 Automag Azodin KPII Sheridan PGP2K Tippmann Crossover XVR Tippmann ProCarbine Tippmann SL68-II Tippmann TiPX |

Yes anything is possible but WHY would you want a Chevy ENGINE in a
Ford? It take too much fabricateing to do. Even droping a odd
ball chevy Big Block into a chevy will be difficult. Pluse i
have a feeling you have no NEED for a big block for your kinda of
towing. We once pulled a 28ft mono hual race boat with my dads
old 1990 Ford F150 with the 5.0L (302ci) V8 under the hood. It
was no speed demond but it was pulling the hills just fine. The
Average boat and trailer combo (rec boat runn around bow rider) will
weight in at 4000-5000 at most. It is only the Big twin engine
race boats and yachts that requier the big Power.

For under 100 youl be lucky to find somthing that the doors are still

am a mechanic (I do this for a living) and Do all my work on my own i
get parts cheap and can do some minor body work even. I know my
truck inside out. But to try and take sumthing worth $100 and
fixing it to be road worthy for a SMALL budget is next to if not
impossible (especially for someone whith limmited automotive knoledge)
your better off waiting till you can afford something half way decent
in the $1000-$3000 range. Heck i got my truck for around $5000CDN
and in 5-6 months of fixing it up it has cost me double that and i
doing most work my self Minus the new paint job.

i have already said to get a truck with a straight body and drop in the engine. maybe you should get a toyota and then put the big block in that. chevy engines go into toyotas easy, plus the gas milage would be alot better with a smaller truck all you would need to do is beef up the rear suspension alittle and get a good tow package. ------------- I LIKE BIKES! |

$5000CDN is = to $3800US. i have said it three times now look
into a mid1980s to 1996 Ford F150 with the Straight 4.9 Six Cylinder
engine. They are great haulers go pretty good for a six cylinder
pickup and the fuel milage is not TOOOOO bad around 14-15mpg mixed
driveing (better if you buy it stick shift). You can find these
trucks here e tested and certified for $2500CDN (1900US). IF your
not too worried about doing a little work to them you can shurly get
one uncertified and etested for less than that. There pretty low
maintanece trucks (the 4.9s are almost bullet proof) and parts are
EXTREAMLY plentyfull.

Lets see i never once said 2wd the 4.9 si came in both the 2wd and 4wd
models. And i actually prefer my 2wd over 4wd as there is less to
maintain and the truck is too large to go 4x4 with any ways. It
also makes a better tow vehical as a 2wd too boot. Oh and i have
no reason for 2wd even in the worst snow storms i have never been stuck
in either my old 1999 2WD Ford Ranger or My 1994 F250 2WD Diesel.

I SAID i have never got my truck STUCK IN SNOW we get quiet bit
of that here and i have sen many guys stuck but with a little finness
and a feew tricks of the trade i have yet to get stuck in the
snow ( I have past amny "4x4" that get stuck in the snow all the
time get a good set of tires and some seat time and youd be surprized.
I would not even attempet takeing this thing true offroading but
have run it through some mud and its done fine just keep momentum
going. Yes it is obvious that a 4x4 is better in the dirt
but to say a 2wd is "sucky" is out right ignorant. First off 2wd
is better for towing is cheaper to maintain simpler to work on,
cheaper on fuel, can handle more weight and have a much
easier loading hight to put stuff in the bed. For my purpose were
i actually use my truck as a truck a 2wd is actually BETTER. Oh and just for your own info a 2000 F250 is actaully shorter than a 1994 F250 like mine. And most trails here are to narrow for a fullsize truck most are only rated for small ford rangers/toy tacomas, and jeeps etc. ------------- AGD 68 Automag Azodin KPII Sheridan PGP2K Tippmann Crossover XVR Tippmann ProCarbine Tippmann SL68-II Tippmann TiPX |

It really makes me laugh, I dont know about the rest of the U.S. but from socal to norcal you see nothing but lifted trucks with anything from 35s on them to 44s, dual shock conversions and such. I mean a ton of them are all chrome underneath. I cant help but laugh at how pathetic and stupid people are for lifting and blowing all this money on a truck that never goes off the road.
I guess you gotta make up for whats missing somehow if you know what I mean. EDIT: Oh yes I almost forgot about the dozen skidplates they throw on, man, you need those for sure because of those insanely huge rocks and such on the road that will rip your transfer case out. -------------  http://solipsism.ath.cx - solipsism.ath.cx |
