Never done an 8.1 but it should be no problem. It will produce 340HP with 455 lbs of torque stock

Pretty cool. Seeing the body off reminds me of why the conversion is so expensive.

Yes it was a gasser. I tryed to get him to go with a Duramax But he is on a tight budget for the build and got a smoken deal on the motor/trans combo. The truck is for his 16yr. old son, but he is not giving it to him tell his 18th b day (so he can have a little fun in it as well tell then) it should be a pretty quick truck, but thirsty as well
