    Am I on the right track with this engine build?

    Actually if you look on this site, you will see the M1009 is a multi fuel truck. Quite a bit of folks run WMO and WVO in them. From what I have read, they have hardened parts in the IP. Anywho, I see you are at lewis, thats where I am out of. Look for my CUCV when I get home at the end of the...

    Am I on the right track with this engine build?

    Well I know the tips fit the injectors. I was mainly asking about the pump because if the DB2 will give me significantly more power, I think I should grab one while im doing all of this anyways.

    M1009 37x12.5s Uhaul Trailer?

    worked for me I towed my 74 K5 with a 4 inch lift and brand new 35" pro comp xterrains from fort hood, tx to Fort Lewis, WA. No issues, I even took it up over the mountain passes and everything. I strapped it down over the axles, and it was fine. I used the tandem axle uhaul trailer.

    M1009 with 2.5-4 inch lift???
