I voted to keep the six. Engine swapping that truck would be like putting a small block in a Grand National, the engine setup and AWD on that truck are made it special to begin with

Are you going to mig everything or try to tig it this time? Will truck manifolds backwards work out for your ty or are you fabing some manifolds also?

going to do the cold side in aluminum, hot side could be stainless or mild but will be mig'd, thats all i have.

nobody has done the cast manifolds, they all shell out $ to have headers done but i got a box of manifolds to try so my fingers are crossed.

Well let me know if you need anything tig'ed. I can do aluminum, mild, or stainless. Its really not a great idea to mig anything before the turbo.
