    Default Newbie From Texas

    Howdy y'all,

    I have a 2003 R/T I'm building to race. I bought the truck at auction after Harvey hit, hence the nickname Silver Sub.

    Welcome from DE.

    Truck looks clean.

    How about some details on the build.

    The truck was super clean when I bought it. It has some slight damage behind the right rear wheel well, and it had two inches of water from Harvey (insurance totaled it with a non-repairable title).

    1969 cast 440 block bored 0.040 over
    Forged crank
    Molnar billet rods
    Diamond Racing forged pistons
    Stock-ish 906 heads
    Performer RPM intake manifold
    Meziere electric water pump
    Fluidampr harmonic balancer
    Solid flexplate
    20gal fuel cell and yellow top mounted in the bed
    MSD HVC ignition system with soft touch rev limiter

    I still need to swap out that placeholder mechanical fuel pump for an electric pump with pressure regulator, and build the 727 transmission for it. I have a shorty truck 727 currently bolted up, but it won't work because the u-joint flange hits the transmission swap bracket, so I'll build one of the long shaft 727s I have.
