The problem I have is that something has to be the weak link but what do I want it to be? what is the cheapest , easiest thing to fix? I know I should put a 60 in it but I'm sick of people telling me I NEED a 60 to wheel. I'm just to damn bull headed!! lol

Been a while since I've posted. The truck is back together now and I have 1 run under my belt this year already 
. The truck worked very well and the upgrades worked better than expected. Here are a couple shots that I have of the truck. I will take more and post them up a bit later.
Just a little recap as to what I did this year.
I swapped out the 350 for a 454 (TBI) installed a reverse manual valve body in the 700r4, full hydro steering, dual optima batteries, autometer gauges, art carr shifter, electric fans and a couple more things I'm not thinking of right now. tell the next reply....

Are the dual batteries hooked to eachother or do you have them where you can swap it over when need be?
i love the stance of your truck man, my truck took a look at yours and wanted to be just like it, and its doing all it can to be as close as the wallet will allow haha. your running 52s up front and 63's in back right? very sweet man!

My batteries are hooked together, I didnt have time to hook up a isolater, may do it in the future but not a priority as of right now

Thanks man
Yes I have 63's in the rear and 52's up front. Looking forward to linking it now as I'm getting tired of repacking my springs after every other trip as they get worked over pretty good each trip.

Awesome rig man!
What kind of fans did you install? Did you swap radiators for the 454, or keep the old one from the 350? I need a new rad. and some fans, so I'm collecting ideas and costs. Thanks!
The Butcher said:
I used a 4 core that i had rebuilt (new tanks) and the fans are out of a 96 windstar. A 2 core aluminum rad I'm told cools as well as a 4 core but seeing as I had the 4 core, I chose not to get the aluminum one right now.
