I guess I was so excited about the extra parts I had to say it again.
I would put a dowel in the balancer, there is a kit to do it with a drill bit. But first, do you need a new balancer? Is the depth correct for that kit, I think it said something about the Corvette accessory drive?
I think you are going to like the extra powa!
What about the cam? I would put a cam in with a lot wider LSA and also a larger split to get the exhaust out.

It has spacers to make it work, he gave me a few water pumps and told me how to make it work. I thought about changing the cam out. Depending on price I might do it and pin the crank.
Are you free for a phone call within the new few hours?
No problem, give me a call.

Blow up this one first to hold true to history.. 
It’s rated enough to handle the boost by hp. But by weight and hp idk, guess we will find out. I purposely upgraded the truck to handle boost and a 4l80e swap other then the drive shafts.Blow up this one first to hold true to history..
Life got in the way but I’m back.
Here is the cam specs

What do you guys think of this radiator?
Not going to do the cam and supercharger until after the 15th, it's the big dinos get down event in glendale and I haven't missed it in 8 years or so.

not an ls swap rad. Do they have with out the trans cooler ?
Most of the ls swap ones are 2 or 3 core, the 3 core has an fittings for the hoses which I don’t want.
I don’t have a problem running a non ls swap radiator. When I built this truck all that trick ls swap stuff wasn’t even out.
This also fit directly to my old derale fan setup which will be going back on.
Cu730 rad Is what I used.
I thought about that, but I’m scared of plastic radiators. They being said I have one in it now lol.
Other than custom or aftermarket, can you get anything but one w/ plastic tanks?
Not really, thats where I’m running into.
Well, you're not running this as a trophy truck any longer right? Plastic has come a ways now. Or you gotta pony up,
I have a metal one I can ship you
This statement is true on both points. We just replaced the radiator in a 2019 KW mixer. I am fairly confident that it was leaking at the tank flange. My cohort thinks that it was at the header panel, but..
Either way, 103K miles at 8.5 mph average for its life so far. Riding over a 20K steer axle takes its toll.
The plus side is that I remember the early nineties International radiators would just flat split and puke coolant in less than 20 minutes vs taking a week to show a large enough trail to verify what was going on. No lost loads of concrete due to this one!
The new replacement with plastic tanks, (again) was $1050.
I'm on year 5 with a CU730
