To Jimmy on the spot-

The middle of roof was changed a couple of years ago so it is a bit straighter then it was.

Hi Leyland3292, The 8V71N was originally fitted in this truck,would fit straight in and also should be easy to find at a reasonable price.318hp with N65 injectors.Also the GSW torsion bars are like rockin horse $h!t here in Aus but are around in the US,I imported 2 in earlier this year.They would have to come with SQHDs as most there are on worm drive and would be quite difficult to change the perches over.And finally "GOOD LUCK" with the 12 speed!..... Cheers James.
