This thing is fully badass. I can't imagine it's less than a $250k build. The full article is on Race Dez, https://www.race-dezert.com/home/th...medium=post&utm_campaign=Kyle-Craft-Prerunner. Check out the copper coated 180* headers.

Am I cockeyed, or is that thing rocking a bit of negative camber?

Beam axles will do that, especially with 22" of wheel travel.
After all the years of "LS swap" rhetoric, your shocked someone took it seriously?![]()

Why copper for the headers?
i dont know if the coating would help, but copper transfers heat extremely well. maybe it helps take the heat out.
but then again i thought you wanted to insulate headers, not increase their heat transfer. so i dunno i'm going to go with looks cool

That is what had me head scratching... Copper would help radiate the heat and i believe it would discolor with said heat. I R Confused. the article even mentioned:
Brian from Allen Motorsports designed a beautiful 180-degree header exhaust system, with a copper coating for proper heat insulation (and it matches the truck’s paint).
I didnt think copper was a good thermal insulator...
I don't think it's copper plating, that would tarnish right quick. It's probably some sort of ceramic coating with copper coloring.

atleast its a big block and not an ls
Big Block Chevy
Would a chevy engine with a front distributor and thrust bearing on the center main be ok?
I dig that truck.
I have been pissed for years everytime someone puts a chevy engine in a Ford, The one that really got me was in Super Ford magazine in the 80s, W TX kid used his daddies oil money to build a T bird with a chevy Marine engine in it so that the distributer was in the front it was even noted in the article but the kicker was when they took a full 2 seconds off his 1/4 mile time at the drag strip, watched him every couple of weeks the thing was an absolute dog.
My buddy Craig has an IHC 4 banger out of a Scout we have talked about putting in a 60s classic Corvette then taking it to car shows just to watch the looks of horror as people see that greasy old 4 banger in their beloved fiberglass hog
Fuck that.Interest gone. Gee, it's another 32 A-body with a small block, how interesting...
I have always dreamed of having a streetable trophy truck. That thing is absolutely awesome. I really like the trophy LTD’s for some reason. Only way I could afford one is a ten year home build
