100 grand in this thing. Crazy. I'd have a heart attack also if I had to pay the rebuilding bill on that thing.

It is one man's dream - what price to you put on a dream? Good luck to him finding someone to take it off his hands.

I am not conversant on the first gens but, if he went to the trouble to put a 215 hp 97 motor in it shouldn't it have an intercooler? I thought the intercooler made a big difference in the hp output. Also noticed a lack of fan shroud.......

It does have an intercooler - that's the thing on top of the motor with heater hoses going to it. It's a water to air rather than the air to air you're used to seeing. Mostly used on boats. I don't think it will work as well as an air to air would in this application. Neat truck, though.
