Re: Tbi swap build thread

There won't be much towing, maybe a car trailer from time to time. I plan to use this as a work truck more than a hauler. Part of the reason for the pass heads is compression bump. Plus, with 4.10 gears, I'll be in the meat of the torque band pretty much all the time.
I started thinking a few years ago about an "old fart truck" for my later years which are slowly creeping up on me. Something to drive around and get in the impatient young kid's way, white hairs sticking out of my ears and nose and a finger in their direction...sure would be nice to have a truck with some cojones as well for when they decide they can't bear to follow an old fart in an old ugly truck and try to pass. I'm actually looking at decals for the dually fenders, something like the old Gentleman Jim and Beau James, except mine will be "Fugg Lee"...
And as long as I stay away from rectangle port heads, I'll have plenty of torque by default, that's the big block way!
