Well, this thing is pretty clean inside, I was expecting a sludge puppy. Gem class for sure Steve!
I think these are the original plugs lol
I got it cleaned up and a fresh coat of black on it for the time being.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

From what I can see from the bottom the bores are pretty clean. It’s got miles on it but it was maintained.

Before starting on this project again for a 4th time, I decided to list it on marketplace. Took exactly one week to sell for full asking price. Car left yesterday, freed up a ton of room and added a nice chunk to my trailer fund.

Jeremy, check the tires on the new trailer you're gonna buy. One's on mine were nylon and cupped horribly in short order. Grabbed a set of good trailer tires and never looked back. Trailer I bought came from a place in Indiana.

Right now I’m thinking something like a 18-20 ft dove tail, steel deck, 5k axles (6 lug), slide out ramps.

The one I had was basic. 20 foot with a couple of interior lights and that was it. Think it was 6 grand with 0.9 percent financing. Truth be told, I was racing on credit. That real nice blue GMC 3/4 ton truck I had was on a loan as well. It was the 6.0 litre and hauled it pretty well. Just had to be patient coming up to speed getting on the highway. The 20 foot was a tight squeeze, but it fit and I'd use a tie down to strap for my big compressor to the rear bumper with rags between it so as not to scratch it. Your car is lower, so be careful opening the drivers door the first time. My door cleared by about the thickness of a piece of paper.

Okay, got a coffee into me now and my brain is semi working. I started hauling the trailer with a burgundy colored 1998 heavy half with the 350 vortec...don't try it. It sat level with the trailer on it but was sorely lacking power. I quickly sold it and bought that silver crew cab Silverado 2500 with the 6 litre that was stolen...and then traded it in on the blue GMC 2500.

Brad I'm planning on open, as it won't just be used for racing.

Not enuf coffee earlier...didn't read into it enuf...lol! I used mine for doing moves for people as well. I supplied the truck/trailer and they supplied the muscle. I had plans on keeping the trailer for just that after racing, but the friend who's barn I kept it in sold the whole property to Ontario Hydro. It was a non working farm. Needless to say he doesn't work anymore.

Jeremy, I went from the new 2018 Silverado in my vids, to a new 2019 Sierra cab and a half to a new 2021 Silverado crew cab with the 6.5 box and 5.3 with the 6 speed and 3.42 rear. I towed a 22 foot pontoon boat for a client. It brought the rear down about an inch and from a power standpoint I didn't even notice it back there and never even bothered with tow/haul mode which I think increases the shift points.

I may upgrade to a 3/4 ton gasser at some point but it will still be pre 2007

Do your homework on the 8 and 10 speed transmissions if they're applicable to what you're buying. Not sure when they started offering them.
