"Project Ronnie" - Episode 2A- The Beginning of The Madness - Its Time To Get To Work!

Stevie Fast begins the process of Project Ronnie. This Part A of Episode 2 focuses on the struggle of getting a truck moving that hasn't been touched in 25 years. Follow along as Stevie, Jack, Cord, and Nitro drag Ronnie from what was thought to be the trucks final resting place to the emergency room in the shop for repairs.

Hopefully it comes out of the shop as an orange foxbody with neon green flames .. . don't disappoint me Stevie !

THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!!! THANKS MAN

[@scottwheeler2494]

Thankfully you can buy all the sheet metal all over the place in that year model. Hell, I think you could build a whole new truck from repop parts. I am thinking a stroked small block and a Pro-charger. Something with boost but somewhat a sleeper shop truck. No blower thru the hood.

Well we know we gotta swap out those papa bumpers for damn sure. I also think it would be pretty slick to relocate the headlights and convert the stock headlight buckets into 5-6” titanium intake tubes, I know it would be easier if you were going TT but it could be done to feed a procharger.

[@DSRE535]

I’ve had several square bodies I love them and this is an awesome project! I think number one Gotta have a screw blown hemi Two I would make it a short bed mainly because a long bed it’s gonna be really hard to keep a driveshaft in it because it’s probably gonna have to be a two-piece Then chop that bed all up so You can fit some huge tires in the back and make the baddest burnout machine anyone’s ever seen

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Great Advice Derek!

[@southjerseysound7340]

This truck needs to be a driver so you can tote the family around town in style 😆 I'd personally shorten the bed,leaving the body alone with a nice modern ls swap with AC etc. But in the meantime you could have fun trying to kill the current stuff doing burnouts

[@tristonmiller619]

Personally, I think a blown big block, short bed, and in your fashion radials, would be sweet, whether it’d be a streeter or race car, but that patina is something I wouldn’t disturb, it would look sweet with a 17/15 wheel combo, with beadlocks obviously. Just my 2 cents.

I got what you need for that. A 565 big block and 106MM turbo.

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Oh my

[@MastaT_150]

I’d say do a Short Bed Conversion first and foremost. Unless you want to keep it long for sentimental reasons It be cool to build it for drag and drive events Like Drag Week or Rocky Mountain Race Week (if that something you’d even have time to participate in) or a burnout truck either way I’d love to see the giant blower busting out the engine bay just like on the thumbnail picture on the first video.

[@TheNumbers400]

If I were you, then I would....Fix the rust, make it safe to drive. Install a LT5 and 8L90 or something similar and be done. It will haul a$$ and be user friendly. You are used to power that would just ruin the truck, so try going for joy an quality time together, you daughter might even like driving it one day.

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Great advice! I am a little worried about destroying it. I don't make good decisions sometimes 😂😂😂

[@th600mike3]

L8T direct injection, with mechanical secondary meth injection on a wet flow manifold. Nitrous or blower. 6l90 with a th600 conversion, and a Dana s60 rear end. You will be able to cruise down the highway in double overdrive, then pull up to do burnouts, swap out the tires and run 8’s on easy mode Also Holley makes a terminator (maybe dominator too?) that will control the direct injection. L8t block is strong as hell. Factory crank is center counter weight, and 1053 (stronger than cast). Can get an l8t and together 6l90 straight out of a 2500hd. Sell the electronics stuff you don’t need or replace, make money back. I’ll make a vid today and email you

Hey Stevie dare to be different throw the Ford Godzilla in that thing it’s Fords new pushrod small block and it’s a big one 444 cubes everything I’ve seen in other videos with guys testing them shows they are one hell of a motor with just a tune out of the crate they’re getting around 500 hp and they are easily pushing them to over 1000 horse on the Dyno with a small blower so put a screw on that baby and you can really piss off some people and greatly impressed a diehard fan and if you’re quick you can be the first guy on the track with one I’ve seen guys building cars but I haven’t seen one on the track yet especially not in the way that you would do it and yeah I know you’ve got this truck figured out but you could always do it in a fox body go back to your roots
