    if you plan to make big power stahl offers some large tube headers.. spendy though... helped my roomate build one a few years back... very easy swap.. his was an '89 originally four banger.. had sanderson shorty headers they required some firewall clearancing... used the OE trans crossmember and relocated it to match the th350.. we removed the fuel pump from the tank and extended the pickup tube.. his never had a speedo but i'm sure someone makes an adapter for the elecric speedo... a different friend of mine owns the truck now... he's running a 400hp 355 with a t56 trans.. hooked it up to the stock hydro clutch pedal.. and he put a custom disc braked nine inch rear... detroit locker.. 3.50 gears. I drove it home from the dunes a month ago when he hurt his leg riding.. these are fun lil trucks.. IMO they are way cooler than a fox body mustang... and just as cheap to build.

    That sounds like a fun truck, And yup I agree. They dont cost a huge fortune to build and i"ve always loved them over many cars, (although I had a fox body mustang).
