rojo Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Building my first 620 thought i would keep it mild......... 4 wheels disc brakes using beebani brackets in front QA1 coilovers in front( beebani parts as well) narrowed frame rails in rear narrowed 12bolt chevy rearend with strange axles and locker 15x10 295/50/15 in the rear with widened wheel wells 6.0 LQ4 engine cammed and tuned th350 transmission should be a great little daily driver!! 2 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Welcome to Ratsun B) This is mild, radical must be insane, as your mild is technically almost unstreetable, I have drove a vehicle that was technically not streetable on the streets, it drove fine as long as I was careful and the roads were dry. BTW, my sister hopped in my car once for a ride, she never got in it again. 1 Quote Link to comment

sycloned916 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Nice Project!!! I like your Style! When I had my 620 I "Was" thinking of the same thing, Glad someone has the balls to go Big. I hope you finish it, I've seen two or three attemps. Nice work man! 1 Quote Link to comment

finney Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 looks good, any photos of the rear end? keeping leaf rear or 4 link and coils? 1 Quote Link to comment

rojo Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Rearend is stock leaf springs with 3" blocks. I did install a narrowed 12bolt Chevy rear already. I will eventually switch to a 4 link and coil overs if I ever want a chance to get traction. 1 Quote Link to comment

Zeusimo Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Is That Motor From The Vortec 5.3 Family? 1 Quote Link to comment
rojo Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 yes, its 6.0 out of a chevy truck... all part of the "ls" family 1 Quote Link to comment
finney Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 those headers are going to be fun. 1 Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 got anymore pictures? ive been wanting to do a 5.3 swap in my 620 and ive been curious how the fit ended up from some other angles... 1 Quote Link to comment
rojo Posted January 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I used the stock manifolds for now. Shorty/Block hugger headers would fit but with no performance gains I wasn't going to spend the money on a set. I did have to move the steering column and box over one inch. I boxed the frame in and moved the steering box over. Of course I had to adjust the centerlink too. The stock LS manifolds fit with some minor tweaks. I'll take some pictures... 2 Quote Link to comment
Omelet720 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Wow. I've got to agree with Wayno. I want to see your "radical"!!! :D Very nice though, I can't wait to see where this ends up. By the way, any more info on the rear calipers/discs/brackets? I like those a lot better than the Trooper brakes. 1 Quote Link to comment

The 720 frames starting in 1980 had the steering gear box on the outside of the frame and also have a rag joint in the column. I believe Datzenmike has put a 620 body and bed on a 720 frame. 1 Quote Link to comment
