some of you may remember this rig...http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=257208 did some trading for it. Springs are not installed, motor hanging on picker in front of it...

I have my own thoughts on what would work best with what but am interested in your opinions. I DO NOT have to pass emissions in my town:D

I also have a complete hydro boost brake setup and complete serp setup if I want it.

What would you guys do if you were me?
 
I'd drop all that crap off around the corner in front of that cool guys house with the titles in the glove boxes...:D


Yeah, the Burb needs the switch for the torque converter... Isn't there a thread on here where someone did it??? Or you could get that Dodge Donnie was talking about and throw a 12v CTD in it...

Don't you just have to put the '91 together??? Or are you changing it up???

Only thing the 91 may get is the axles from the burb, everything else stays the same. That of course depends on whether I keep the 700 in the burb. I just don't trust that tranny for towing built or not. Agreed on the tc switch. I suppose starting with the original plan of putting the cam and some other mods on the burb would be the easiest to start with... I dunno? I'm definately not switching up the 91 otherwise.

Who's the cool guy? :haha:
 
Hey Dustin how do you like the 5.13 with the 38's on the road. I'm trying to decide if I should go that route with my Jimmy. How's the cruising speed on the highway with them?
Thanks in advance

i'd suggest a 454 and a beefier trannie for the 88 burb. hydroboost also for this rig...

Its perfect with the 700r4 tranny, if thats what you have you'll like that gearing.

If I had those two things thats what I'd do... I was more wondering about the rigs I have currently and where people would use the parts from each of them. I own them already and don't want to spend more money...
