Well I have a set of 18*10.5 now, I'll have to run spacers, but will be able to properly spec out a set of wheels that won't need spacers.

Will have to notch the frame for these

Definitely will, it'll be a while though, might be able to get them on for the classic in July ..

Most likely put some 300TW 295/30/18 on it for the time being at roughly 1/2 cost of 315/30/18 200tw

Dug into my Dmax truck, trying to find the problem, long short it finally gave off smoke and flames, fuse box under the hood is fully shot now
New seams to run about 275-325. Used seams half that

Got a new/used fuse box coming should be here by Friday,
Fired my wagon up and ran it for a little bit.

I like the easier cooling for the TVS but I guess that benefit also comes w/the penalty of more weight.
Have you crunched weight numbers for each choice?

So the tvs2650 runs about ~13k, including drive system, downside outside price to the Harrop kit, you cannot mount anything on the DS of the block no PS/AC etc.

The ATI pro charger D1SC run about 6-7k with no intercooler, and they have brackets to bolt to 95-99 CK 454 setup

Either way it's only adding ~3-400 HP on top of the 550-600 I'll have N/A. Downside to 900-1000hp only thing I know currently will handle that power is the 3" heavy wall driveshaft and. 1350 u-joints.. both the viper spec T56/clutch and the 31spline 8.8 would need work

As for weight... Between being a wagon and run a iron big block... Meh not really worried about🤷🏻‍♂️😂

As of right now, 7-13k would be spent much better in chassis/brakes/suspension and interior.. I'm not to fond of pushing OEM blocks much passed 700.. if 1000+ becomes a goal im starting with a dart/world cast block and minimum 4.5*4.25(540) to 4.6*4.375 (581) displacement engine
