Re: Any old school (early '80's) B2K guys out there?
I am almost finished with my 84 b2000. It will be done in about two months, ready to hit up some shows. i just had the motor completely rebuilt from the block up. Block is bored 30 over, ported and polished heads and intake, Weber 38mm carb, custom low compression forged JE pistions, turbonetics T3-T4 ball-bearing turbo. 8-12psi street, upto 20-25psi race. She puts out 297 horsepower/245foot-lbs-torque. I still waiting to breaking in the motor till I take it to the strip or install the 75 shot spool up kit in it.
Body is clean shaven, just the way i like it. Door handles, tailgate skin w/ frenched in license box, roll pan w/ a phat cut for the muffler(so it doesn't drag), It has a shaved toyota bumper, shaved emblems, vents, and those ugly tie-down on the bed. It still in primer black.
It is going to the suspension shop in 2 weeks to have the frame notched,4-link installed, and bagged so it will lay frame on 18's.
Then Blazin Auto is cutting out the back and doing a full walk through. I'm then gona weld in a small roll-cage for the back so i can drive w/ heads in the back
the rest of the interior is alreeady done. I detailed the dash in neon green. It has a set of leather integra GSR seats and sparco 3 piont racing harnesses. I custom made the center console and a set of 6 1/2 inch kickpanel enclosers out of fiberglass. I have fiberglass box for 3 12inch RF HE2 ready to go in. I running three 401s(1 to each sub) and two 501x(1 for 6 1/2inch comp and 6x9s, other for 4 6x9s in the rear).
I got a 14inch fold down for in the rear and 2 7inchers in the visors.
I post the pics once it is down, I don't want to spoil it with some crappy pics.
I you have any questions let me know and I do my best too answer them for ya.
