how you gonna start it? and you need an 1/8 scale pipe bad, that pipe chokes a good small block. you will probably want a larger fuel tank also. pretty cool if the truck will withstand the abuse of a bb engine? idk how long the drivetrain will take it? good luck!
 
with a rota start waiting for the oewaybearing to come, new exhaust i should be getting 1 of my mate, larger fuel tank is also to come soon,and all hardened drivetrains and diff gears will all be upgraded very soon. i was more worried about putting it on and bolting it up
