After several months, I finally have made some progress and have some pics!

I bought the truck as a 1994 Dakota with full interior (bench seat), AC/PS/PB/CD player, 392 Eddy Headed small block, 727 with trans brake, Dana 60 with 4.30 gears, ladder bar coil over, 3300 lbs with me in it.

Making only a few runs, I went 11.7's on motor through Summit mufflers. The motor has a Hughes .540, 228 @ .050, 114 lsa hydraulic roller, pump gas, box stock Eddy heads, 950 hp carb, M1 Intake.

It was set up to run nitrous and I was told by the previous owner it has gone low 10's on nitrous, but I never sprayed it (wasn't interested).

Now the changes....

I have put in SRT-4 buckets, new carpeting, moved the shifter and a center console from a 2000 Dakota.

I had a 12 point CM cage installed going from the front frame rails all the way to the back shock mounts. The requirements was to maintain the full interior, including headliner, all door panels, etc. I will have pics of that soon.

The motor came out and I had it partially filled, did some home porting on the Eddy heads, Enconel exhaust valves, 9.5:1 turbo pistons, 6.200 H-beam rods, 2 bolt billet main caps.

I am replacing the carb with a FAST system.

I changed out the gears to 3.54 and am going to run 315/60/15 Drag Radials.

The 727 was freshened up with new steels, Kevlar bands, extra clutches.

The turbo will most likely be a 76 mm unit with an Air to Air intercooler. I don't have the exact specs on the turbo yet.

Here are some pics of the heads, block and mock up of the motor. I have to get a very thin wall socket for the head bolts because of the springs.

Hope yall enjoy!
