Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Eric, I am sorry to hear about your mother..... I understand what your family is going through right now... 7 years ago I was diagnosed in my right leg... That was the hardest period of my life... My thoughts and prayers are with your mother. If I may ask would you PM me her first name so that I may pray for her personally? It looks like a great build and I look forward to progress.... Your builds are always just plain sick and I know this one will be no exception

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

I am thinking a lsx block with bds blower and injection hat. I love twin turbo but I don't feel like spending 30000 on the motor. If the truck was my 40 ford and worth that kind of money I would do it. I am thinking 15000 on the motor

Here you go, set it up with fuel injection and you'll still be under $15k. Or just add an intake and carb and get 620 hp.

They also have an LSX 376 that is better suited for a blower.
