Sweet truck! Nicely done!
I couldn't tell, but is it turbo or NA? Love the stacks and the black smoke though. Sounds awesome!

It has the early Banks turbo. I know. It's a bugger to time those... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
Darrin did an extremely professional rework of his rig, and as a car dealer with access to virtually any truck he wants, I applaud him for putting the time into the old beast rather than just copping out and getting something newer.
Re: Big Ed's Extreme Truck Makeover: Reveal Video!
Looks very nice. I hope to be giving mine a make over sometime, in a couple of years more than likely. I really like your ram air setup under the hood. I have been thinking of doing something similar bur more like a cowl induction hood. More picture would be awsome.

Re: Big Ed's Extreme Truck Makeover: Reveal Video!
WOOOOOOOOOW!! I love seeing these old trucks all fixed up and comstomized. I remember seeing Big Ed in its previous stage when I bought my truck off of your lot and it was still a looker then. Now, holy crap!! That is a truck to be proud of. You need to send me a parts list of what you did to Big Ed. I have been thinking about air induction through the hood but have to do some thinking with the Sidewinder turbo. I also have been thinking about sidepipes and have now decided I want them! Where did you get those pipes? I have a list of things to do to my truck. The accessories and wanted parts list just doesn't seem to stop. Heres my major plans. Lift kit, custom bumper, custom hood air intake, custom exhaust, and a big billet torque converter. Did you do anything to the tranny in your truck besides the gear vendors? What about the engine? Anyway, a truley awesome looking truck that will turn heads all over the place I am sure. Hopefully I can see it in person soon at the IDI weekend whenever that is.

Thanks, The way that the Banks Turbo box is arranged it was pretty easy to do the ram air. I just had to open up the center of the box, and drop a seal from the hood scoop. The Banks box takes air from the center of the air filter out, instead of the other way arund like a stock air filter.
I will be able to block it off when it rains and still run the ram air from the grill, as I left that in place.

It is Turboed, and there is NO Muffler,. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
As far as the exhaust goes, It was a difficult getting a pipe to the drivers side of the truck. The passenger side is 3" downpipe to 4", then to 5" right before the bend to the side pipe. The passenger side had to have a 3" elbow welded in the top of the 4" section, go over the driveshaft, the 3" flex to manuver under the drivers side frame rail and out before the fuel tank. So it is not a perfect "Y". However after driving it for a week, we decided that we are going to remove the 4" section and install a diverter so more smoke will exit the drivers side. It should be an easy operation, ans should not cause any loss of HP since the exhaust is extreme overkill for a turboed IDI.
I will be redoing my pics and posting them soon.
