    Pathfinder Pressure Testing's LS powered , Whipple Charged shop truck build

    So ive been looking at this for a while , we have several drivetrains available but this is what we settled on for the power to weight ratio she should move out

    35 Gen 2 truck kit
    Standard ( Swoopy Grille)
    20/18 Halibrand replica wheels from Barrett Jackson Kit
    A/C
    Manual Rack
    Leather Bench Seat
    Platinum Gauges ( will probably build my own dash out of aluminum , race car style key fob push button start )
    Moser 8.8 3:55 Tru Trac
    standard rear disc brakes , will be abs

    Engine

    5.7 LS
    Texas Speed ported GM heads
    Texas Speed custom hydraulic roller cam
    K1 Forged Crank and Rods
    Wieseco Forged pistons -12 CC Dish
    lightened Ferrea Valves
    upgraded trunnion roller rockers

    Power Adder

    Ported current generation 2.9 Liter Whipple Super Charger setup for 12 psi for now
    Water to Air heat exchanger
    front accessories with A/C
    GM ecm and harness

    Fuel System

    standard tank with aftermarket twin pump fuel hat

    Transmission

    Animal Performance " beast " 4l60E Billet input and output shafts all upgrades for 1000 hp
    full auto/ manual shift with level 2 shift firm to hard
    Dynamic converters Billet lockup converter

    electrical
    looking at the ISIS system on the two guys garage build if i can get past the terrible name they chose for it

    Paint and Body
    not sure yet but it will be me that does it
    .

    short block is together , waiting on cam and heads. trans is ordered .
    not sure on the wheels but basically got them for no extra charge with the 3k dollar summer sale so ill use them to roll the chassis and maybe in the final build . not sure
    whipple has been ordered

    kit completion date per FFR is 10/26/ 19

    so i have a 416 ls3 twin turbo and a 408 iron block ls setup for a 4 liter whipple . i decided it would be a waste . this 5.7 can easily make more power than i can ever hook up with in this chassis

    ill save the 416 twin turbo for the GTM i plan to build if this goes well

    the pic is my old shop truck i may just do this 35 in this style .

    61 f100 injected 620 hp FRPP 521 big block , Lentech strip terminator AOD trans, ac ps , nav , remote start etc

    looking forward to learning and getting to know the builders and community here

    Sounds friggin awesome. Cant wait to follow build. I went with GEN1 SBC with 4L60E and I'll tell you its tight! Not sure how the LS compares to size and mounting.
