This has been done successfully on SS I believe......I also saw a M818 at the 2009 MVPA convention that had been repowered with either a Big Cam 350 or a 400 (memory fades). It is the same block but there has to be a few modifications made to make everything fit. You also have to put a bump in the hood to accomadate the extra height.
Yeah that's where I got the idea...I'm never original.
It was a 400.
Assuming if and when I buy an M920 and it has a good motor that will be the donor...LOL

This "bump" (or maybe ridge?), would go great IMO with a flat black racing stripe/glare deflector on it...anyone concur?

Everyone says the .50cal is the best anti-vehicle gun, but the truth is, if you shoot a .50cal through an engine block, you're not actually going to stop the vehicle, at least not right away. The fluids will leak out and eventually it will stop. But it is not instant by any means. A .338 or even a .300 will do the same thing. No, the best way to stop a vehicle is to shoot the driver. And that can be done with any number of weapons. -Chris Kyle, "American Sniper"
I think the hood mod could be cool if done right. Is there any examples out there to see like the forementioned truck? I would like to see how its been done in the past. I think I know what your saying Danger Ranger. Kinda like an old Trans Am or something but done mil style

I edited Wreckerman's pic a bit and also a pic of a truck I had seen at Adleman's.

I was thinking like a cowl induction maybe. But of course it would be up to the owner to make it not so obnoxious (sp?) in order to blend in more.

Thanks for posting the pics and for me the verdicts in. You can do it and do it pretty tastefully.
