What do you need help with financing gas?
Want to see more scary, your rear has limited slip like you have never seen before.
I went to rebuild mine and 4 other mechanics said screw that!
I took it out and sent it out for $1200

I was at the tranny shop today and Porky's son came in who has suburbans and I told him I posted to you about financing for gas and he laughed like hell.
Said he gets 17mpg highway if he keeps his foot out of it.

If anything goes wrong with it. Take the motor and drop it in a shortwide. That 5.7 vortech is very beast. I have not drove one i did not like.
