Default My 96 5 speed flatbed

I bought my truck in Road island, drove it home. thermostat was stuck shut, she made it to maine with no anitfreeze flow, got home and now has a piston slap. Well thats all gonna change ive been driving it for 3,500 miles and it just ticks a little but runs good. We bought a 95 dodge auto with the 180 pump were gonna swap engines, keep my pump (215 hp) and while it's on the floor were gonna run the valves, front and rear main seal. and also im gonna buy a 450 or 400 hp clutch, and an input shaft. because i do plan on getting a set of 75 hp injectors or so. prob gonna buy or grind my fuel plate, and something with the turbo. It has the faster gear ratio 3:53? or something, not the 4:10's i know that. and also it does one wheel wonders.... thats all gonna change for sure. i pulled at two truck pulls out pulled 2 of my buddies duramax's by far. first pull was raining and muddy, 4 low second gear got 186 feet second pull i rode the clutch and took 4 low third gear with some more speed and got 167. only thing done to it is the starwheel cranked, turbo scilencer ring removed, and a couple other small things.
