Kinda new to this forum, haven't posted a whole lot. I figured I'd share my build with more guys. I know we all like builds/pictures. So here goes..
A little history, bought the truck exactly 3 years ago today. 05 ccsb with 137k miles, clean as a whistle. Little did I know, it needed head gaskets. No big deal so I throw in new grade c's and arp head studs a week after buying the truck, long story short I never went real crazy with the truck..half assed built trans, swapped a few different turbos on, put some 30% injectors in and ran with it for about 2 years. Finally put some dual cp3's on early last year and ran a bunch of 12.0 passes at the track and dynoed over 750hp on my stock motor countless times. Decided before i put a hole in the block, I'd better build the engine. My girlfriend of 7 years said if I get her a ring and a new house, I could do whatever I wanted to the truck...we got married Sept 3rd and moved into the new house Sept 30th!
Here is my truck as it currently sits. Was bone stock when I bought her.
The build was on!
Very first official engine build parts I acquired were some ARP main studs. A few days later I had a nice new set of carrillo rods show up on my door step.
