    The Truck:

    Motor is mostly stock 351w. Plan for AFRs and a cam later this year.

    The plan:

    BW S366,.91 AR Housing
    BBK 1 5/8" shorties,2.5" hot side
    4" DP, steel in the motor compartment, alum back to the axle
    Vibrant Alum Muffler
    Precision Gate
    Turbosmart BOV
    Treadstone IC
    3" cold side

    Aeromotive Phantom Flex pump in the rear tank
    Braided SS lines to Professional Products rails
    Holley 66 lbs/hr injectors
    Aeromotive regulator

    Truck already has Holley HP on it,so tuning won't be a prob.


    Some of the goodies:

    Got the IC mounted.

    Got a start on the hot side.

    Aeromotive pump mounted. Like this thing, looks like it'll work well.

      I saw it. I talked to wife. I'm like... I gotta have this. The price is way too good to pass up. We talked for a few and she's like, "OK". I go back and BOOM... truck is already sold. Went back and smacked wife around for making me wait a minute.

      I've been wanting to build a Factory Five car for a long time. Road tripped up to their showroom last Sept, and the itch is getting bad. I hate to let the truck go,but my dam shop isn't big enough to keep it and build the car, and the $$ helps get things going quicker.

      Boosted of course, pulling all the stops out. 2400lbs and 1k HP!

      For sure.

      I talked to Factory Five and they are about 8-10 weeks out on delivery, so I'll be making my mind up and ordering soon. I've got 4-6 weeks of downtime coming - surgery on my RIGHT arm to repair a torn triceps tendon. Keeping up with my son and his buds,on dike bikes, is getting harder at 56!

      Motor wise,ATM, I'm thinking alum block Windsor, probably 427,TFS High Ports,Holley Dom. Single or twins I won't know unit I get the chassis and take a look at it.

      Best wishes with surgery.
      I'm 58 and looking at right shoulder surgery. Trying to keep pace with my daughter in basketball has has finally proven to be fruitless.
      Have a friend who built a Factory 5 a few years ago. Dark maroon color. Went carbureted and has since regretted it.

      Also seems to have questionable weight distribution.
