I wasn't rying to disrespect the 1st generation... I own one... It was just a thought for conversation's sake.
Im just thinking about the future, rather than buying a newer truck, Id like to do a teardown and rebuild for max power... like after I win the lottery. . lol... thats a long way off since I only have 150k miles so far.
I see all these drag and pulling videos, and I'd love to see some first gen trucks whoopin' @$$ just for nostalgia's sake.
I'm not dogging the 160 engine, I'm just curious. I figured if any sort of build up is my future plans, I'd do my homework for a long time before diving in.
Right now I lack the funds, and knowledge,
so all i can do is dream and speculate.
I'd love to have a first generation truck that could run a quarter with the likes of
the Jannetty truck... say 14s at somewhere in the 90s mph.
I love the old body style it reminds me of the 1980 3/4 ton Power wagon w/ a built 318
I had in high school.
I am impressed with the performance of my current Ram. But its addictive... "if alot is good than more must be better"
any thought on the 160 transformation is appreciated.
Thanx,
joe
