Pretty sure my suburban went up the RTI ramp that far.
Sounds like you need a bare bones long block replacement for the stock motor.
You're over thinking this motor swap, but I can see this ending up like your d30, expensive, overbuilt, and still...
Need to forget the letters sbc, and learn LS1. If you have any decent fab skills it isn't expensive when you compare it to buying stroker kits, a 1600 dollar cylinder head, bigger injectors, etc. Not...
No clue
You asked what everyone thought, this is what you get.
I don't know who nacey is but if Tate says your h3 idea is gay you better bet your little midget family ass that its pretty ****ing gay.
If you like the way they look it's already too late for you
I laugh a little every time I see one of those somewhere. A regular Chevy pickup would be a much better option.

Looks like Texas off road ranch.

He drives a lot in reverse.

Also, I looked up an alternator for your truck and it looks like a Chevy 6.0 alternator would bolt in place. Not sure on the wiring but it's something to look at. They have a factory 145 amp...
Beadlocks don't have to be expensive. I have no experience with beadlocks besides messing with the wheels Evan and Tommy have but there are less expensive options out there. Summit has some for about...
You did all this work to make a pretty capable little rig and you ordered brand new 10" wide non beadlock wheels?
I'm not saying don't use a locker. He was trying to decide locked front/LS rear or LS front/locked rear. Since he specifically stated he was worried about putting a locker in the rear because of...
I know but he's worried about putting a locker in the rear. Putting one in the front will make it ratchet way more since you can't just unlock a hub when you don't need 4x4.
D30s don't have lockouts right? Which means that your front would always be locked if you put a locker up front. That would only make your locker issue worse on trips. I would definitely put it in...
