I found it sitting like this next to a guys barn on a very out of the way road.
I tinkered with it for a few years but never had the cash to do much with it.. was offered 3 times what I payed for it (I payed $1000) a couple of times for the body but I knew it was the one so I kept it even when I could not afford to.
Finally things started going my way and I payed off some stuff so I started working on it. All along the way I had been picking up parts when I could for it.
Did the disc swap on front and 5 lug all around.
I had been collecting to build a hot motor for it for some time,
427 bbc
rectangle port heads fully ported 2.25/1.88s
solid roller .630 lift
tunnel ram 2 new 600s
whole lot of other stuff,
me and my good friends (my skinny ass on right) I build all my own motors and most of my friends too lol
my friend kieth helping me out..I have to get yal a picture of my fabbed trans tunnel..funny thing about 3 on the tree trans tunnels don't fit a T400.
was a potent beast but very used part/budget minded, here is some video.
this was my first drive ever..
this was the 6th pass on truck 8.12@85, no tuning except timing..you can hear vac sec opening about 60ft out and it was shifting itself @5500 stock trans...
