Well decided to stay with 1 tons for now...gonna cost to much cash to get everything done and really don't want to wait till end of next year to bog again lol...did find the frame broke on both sides of the front so gonna call it a year and fix that first then build the 4 link for the front.   I also have to go look at a 434 short block to run next year!

Ive always wanted to stroke out to a 434. Big block power small block weight

Me too or at least a 421.  But I can't pass up the deal I can get on this short block so hopefully everything looks good!  Also thinking about running E85 next year too??

Its cheaper than torco, ya just go thru a ltlle more of it. If ur gonna be runnin that much compression with it that motor will rip!

Way cheaper!  With my brodix heads I will be above 13.5-1!   Debating if I want to go to a bigger solid roller cam too?  Looking at a .682, .686 lift cam with rpm range of 4400-7800.  Running a .624 lift cam now.

Seems like e100 would be hard to come by?

Trading off some tractor tires I picked up for some 44" groundhawgs tomorrow and picking up 2 beadlock rims from Erik Taylor too.   Wasn't able to work on it over the winter so im deciding if I want to just fix the front or rebuild it by 4 linking it??  Hope to find out this weekend after talking to a buddy about doing it for me.

For a dune truck its best to go 4 link. Takes more work but the ride and control is much better. Especially in the dunes

Got the frame fixed but ended up pulling motor to freshen it up.

Dropped the block and crank off today.  Polish the crank and install new cam bearings is all thats needed there.  New bearings and rings then put it back together.
