If you can afford it you should do a diesel swap

And any money into making it fast and you could sell it and get a used F150 lightning

well i'm going tomorrow to see if the frame is bent, yay!

The suspension DEFINITELY is, gotta fix that. Motor is running ok, i need new injectors. only has 105k miles on it. ****** has like 25k on it only. F that 4 speed dude. Although, that 4 speed would be fun with a turbo because I could build massive boost due to how long I have to stay in gears for.

What motor is in it? What kind of turbo, how do you plan on tuning it?

idk man sounds like a lot of work and $ for older truck that has problems

There's a story behind it all. It's more than just a truck

Plus I really just like the truck. I enjoy driving it. I understand that truck, it's actually built pretty well IMO, besides the old motor and ******.

I'd say do it, 4.0s are cheap to come by. Tuning it will be the hardest part. You'll prob have to get a piggyback system like megasquirt or something similar.

How much is the turbo and are you going to have to pay someone else to do the work? The turbo and installation will most likely be more than the value of the truck.
