After some nagging from a few friends I text with often I've been forced to make a build thread. I think they think it'll light a fire under my **** to get it done...... They don't know me all that well.

Any hoot, here we are. Truck is a 93, has about 175K on the ticker. I bought back about 5-6 years ago. It was bone stock. Installed an AD165 set at 21 psi, I put a 351 turbo better piping. Getrag died an honorable death so I went to a 4500. Decided I wanted more power so ordered a set of DDP 4's. That was fun for a while then the head gasket went pop. Pulled head had a port job done, better valve angles, decked and upgraded springs to 60#. After that fun to drive again. Clutch stated going slip so oredered up a Kenny's duel disk. All fun from there, THEN I ate the 4500 up. Total distruction, counter most of the main gears.. Sigh what to do. Pulled it apart, ordered parts rebuilt. Back on the the road having fun doing what it needs to do. I'd obviously picked up another daily driver at this point with all the down time from different failures. After I got the trans fixed and it was up and running good I just wasn't happy with it. So it came all back apart, that where we'll start this build..

First up needed to order some parts. I plan of spraying some silly gas at some point so a steed speed was ordered with an external gate. I also ordered a JGS 50mm gate. Its not installed just a gate cap with a divider. My turbo of choice for the manifold was a Forced built 11 blade 63/68 tall t3 duel gated housing. This brought up the first problem, I now had to use a carbide bit on my super expensive exhaust manifold, after a few Coors and my snap-on bits the deed was done.


I then found myself a set of Infinite performance injectors. Started life as 5x16 and were flowed out to 4.15LPM with a different spray angle to keep the fuel in the bowl at full advance, and obviously Weston's magic touch with the edge filters and pintle. This was very fun to drive, never got on the dyno with this set-up but I can say it pulled much much harder than my previous set up that did 350 in 4th on a dunbar dyno. This was driven around for a very very brief period and I was still not happy, I was pulling my 165 down way too low at full effort, case pressure were dropping. So stage 2.1 of the Aryan Goat build happened. Lets have some fun and break things.

New fuel supply system. Aeromotive 1000 pump, 20 gallon cell, Boost controlled pressure regulator, fuel coolers both for feed and return, custom fuel filter housing by T-rex. Supply with be AN10, return AN6.

Only picture's I have, But as you can see my plan is to have all the supply system behind the rear axle. I'll build a belly pan to protect it, Both of my batteries will also be back here.

Shackle flip, Yes I'll build actual hangers, was just trying to get an idea of pinion angles. Also need to weld tubes to pumpkin.

Contacted WFO about a torque arm, they sent me this. I know it isn't as good as caltracks but price is right and I know they work well. Keep that pinion angle happy.

Then the time came to really decided if I'd be happy with just the 63, Yeah no I know I won't be. So Jose came threw again, 76/92/1.1 showed up with their light billit wheel. I flipped the 63 and built a super short hot pipe.

After some digging on the old compD I decided an Inner stage water to air cooler would be a fine Idea, get those temps freezing cold. This was my first thought. Had it all laid out, then decided the cab HVAC box was going away anyways, so I'll have it's final resting point in the cab behind the dash. It's a straight shot anyways since the 63 is flipped. I have not done that yet, but drunken measurements say It'll fit like O.J.'s glove

Meet Dixie and Roper. My little lady and her big dumb buddy. Dixie is always with me out in the "shop". Roper comes and goes.
Here's a picture of my second gen flipped IC. It did me well, but it's going bye bye. I'm going to run two water to airs. I can stuff them in there once the condensor is gone, I'll have to hack up the core support more and do some shaving with the grill but I can make them fit. I'd really like to get the water/ice tank behind the rear axle under the bed with it's radiator but I'm out of real estate back there, so most likely will be in the bed. I'll put it back as far as I can to try and help with weight offset.
I have no pictures but valve train has been upgraded to 165# springs, double wall push rods. Stabb is working on a cam for me but wants base line numbers before. He said he'll make me one before but honestly I'd rather get it going with what I have and give him numbers and build from there.

 

This all brings me to my prized VE pump (only decent picture I have). This is the one and only Giles built all out 14MM pump. It's set on kill, I'm trying to build the truck around it. It just looks like a normal VE but it's a fun little pump. My plan is to take my 12mm as far is it can, then swap out for the 14 and see what it does.

The thing that looks like a Furd starter motor is actually my water meth pump, it's capable of 1,000PSI in a closed system I hope it can push 700ish to my few stages I'm gonna run.

Questions, comments, shaming, suggestions are very welcome. I can take flack, open to every comment.

 

Very nice! Great Build...can't wait to see it when it is complete!.
You need to get Roper to bring you parts and tools while Dixie supervises

 

Thanks Larry, hope all is well, thank you for my wife's uplifting!


Dropped some weight. Cut out all the unless wires, cruise is gone. Tucked the harness, wiper motor is gone. Routed harness threw the cowl. Tucked PCM behind the fender.

After all that I realized I should have given my perfectly good un molested harness off and just built my own.... It's a VE it doesn't need any wires.....
I'm working on my new harness for fuel supply and what not. ..

 

Very nice build!

Judging by some of your tools, you wrench for a living I assume?

 

Thanks.

Kinda, I'm like a head custodian at a Chevy dealer, always cleaning s...t up....

 

You make a good point sir.

Is there a reason you decided to go with this electrical supply pump stuff as opposed to a 30mm big bore lift pump, you seem like you're shooting for 650+

 

Drank too much beer and started ordering parts. I jest, I know I can't suck it dry. I'd ran a Pee pump lift pump back in the day and didn't like how it had to pull the fuel that far. I've been running electrics for years now. This is the first time I've had an Aeromotive, seems like a really quality unit (holding in my hands)...

 

I've hit a road bump again. I though these bends would be tight enough, total of 7" from plate to the top ain't gonna cut it, I can obviously cut them down a bit more but don't think I can hit my threshold.. Either I get funky with some pie cuts or I need to order some tight radius 3" O.D. aluminum. Anyone have a source?

Or I go super hillbilly, cut my beautiful bird bath hood for a "turbo bump" on the left side of the truck. That would have people asking me to open the hood...lol.

Any hoot, guys/gals/he-she's/she-he's, don't be afraid of commenting here, I can take criticism and suggesting really well and if you think something is amiss I'd like to hear it before I start welding/cutting/hacking this poor truck up more. Is this too much or am I doing something wrong? I figured this would get some people talking on DTR...

 

I don't pretend to be any sort of a welder, but this is my hot pipe welded up. Stainless pipe, t4 flange and hx 40 on the other side.

 

Actually, a gentler radius going into angled intake horns would lower the overall height.

I'll check on some 3" tubing for you.

Will be interesting to see what kind of flow you'd get.

 

Those welds look really nice to me.
The shop dogs look pretty happy too!

 

Where they were sitting was right in line with the window AC unit I have sitting my garage door.

Thanks, first time with stainless. Much easier than that devils metal known as aluminum!!!

 

It looks like you have your truck taking up both sides of your 2 car garage. Do you make your wife park out in the cold?

 

I call it my 3 bay "shop". Cold!? What that, it's 98* here today. I parked it like that to make it easier to move around and I can leave the doors closed and run the AC. It's amazing how much a single cab truck can take up a 900 square foot area....
