what parts do i need
i am thinking about selling my truck and gathering some money together and buying a 7.3 powerstroke f-350 i was wondering what mods i need to do and how much money it will cost me for all of the parts (i do ALL work my self even gears)
i'd like at least 36in tires, do i need a lift if so how much
i'd want it to run mid/low 14s in the 1/4 and have some stacks in the bed that spew black smoke
obviously i would want lockers front and back
but my main concern is how much money will it cost and what mods do i need to do in order to get to mid/low 14s in the 1/4 with a powerstroke, the truck would be extended cab short bed, also what year is best for these trucks and can i get a manual trans and if so is it any good or will it blow up
if possible i would like to keep a fairly tight converter since i want a truck that can go through anything and tow anything that you can hook to it (and i have a lot of hitch attachments)
am i just dreaming? or is this even possible for a reasonable price

Not to be short, but your wallet will be your only limit, assuming it has a limit. The link at the top of the forum page has a lot of good info on mods and maintance. The Roadside Help Network link in my sig has a ton of useful info as well.

And it sounds like you and I might get to know each other on a first name basis 
Let me know if I can help. Good luck finding a 7.3L, you will love it.

Good thing I don't really have to.
