Well it looks like I'm taking my 84 and turning it into a drag truck. It will be powered by either a 383 stroker or 454 BBC backed with a 2-speed Powerglide tranny to a 9" rear. Right now I'm tryin to find front suspension components. I want to run tubular control arms with possibly some better brakes than that of the 84 4cyl. Anyone have any insite?
you should use a big block mopar. Old dude i used to work with put one in a yota with some dart fenderwell headers looks like the motor was built for the truck, distributer is in the front so the motor is slid all the way back and a 727 torqflight and a 4 linked chrysler 8 3/4 narrowed rear he had to turn the torsion bars down to level the truck cause the motor was so far back
