Well everyone I finally got to drive it! I hit 14lbs of boost and this thing really moves! The take off in first with 4.88's and the 42's is awesome! I love that turbo trans. It takes off way easier than it did with the old trans and 38's. I lugged the motor in third at about 25 mph with no boost and it did awesome. Anyone who thinks these motors have no low end torque are dead wrong. The new engine has way more power than my old one did with no boost and it had only 20,000 miles on it with a header and a cold air intake. I pulled out the old rear end and tomorrow i'm gonna put in the taco rear. I still need to rewire the brake lights and round up some rear springs for the front. I need to build a real cross member for the duels.
My brother-in-law just finished his 22re conversion in his 1980 short box. I'll try to post some pics of his truck next weekend.
