Well, Steve could do the motor installation, you would have to
do all the things I did and the extra things like getting Viper
seats and stripes. Steve does'nt do any electrical.
One thing to keep in mind is the cost of Steve putting in the
motor for me was fairly low because I did some of the work myself.

> Sorry to keep asking, did you do a Dynojet on the truck?

Not yet, would expect around 380 RWHP which is what a Viper
Dyno's at.

>
> 1/4 Mile times?

Sorry, nothing yet. I'm expecting wheels and tires in about
a week and will give it a try then.

Hope this helps,
Chuck Snodgrass
