Torque converter should be on your list of upgrades. if you don't end up swapping to a nv4500.. thats a big job and i hope you have all the peices.

Goerend trans is the way to go.

Nice truck BTW. Refer to the "how to sticky"

click that on the forum and scroll down to ''performance "

maybe a 4 inch turbo back exhaust should be next.
Do you have gauges? if so which ones.

 

Personally I would spend some coin at the truck wash to demud the engine!!

 

look at the new pics ....engine all clean, i use my truck...so its usually muddy...i think its grey? ....not much pavement around here

 

i have a trans temp a pyro and a boost gage,i waited to turn the pump up till i got these...i plan on having all the body work and paint done before summer,i have a 12 valve 72 duster project on the go as well......http://s639.photobucket.com/albums/u...uster%20build/
