If you ditch the stock air cleaner I bet you could fit an air to air cooler on the right side of the engine, you could cut out the sheet metal under the headlite for the air inlet and vent it through the core. The opening in the frunt end for the intercooler only needs to be 25%-50% the size of...
Bar and plate cores are worlds better for an air to air system and are the most common in the performance auto world. people dont talk about what core to use in a air to water system very often.
I plan to do a air to air system in my trucks some time as I prefer the simplicity of the air to...
Oh i did learn something, if you put 1/4" of grease over your brake shoes they will stay in like new condition rofl
Edit: rtv check. No word on the EUC for the M109 yet, I was hoping it would clear by now.
First pic is a bar and plat 2nd is tube and fin, both pics are looking at the core in the direction of air flow. tube and fin will offer you better air flow, heat exchange, and a smaller package for air to water.
You can also buy a small radiator core online and use it as your air to water intercooler, you just weld a shroud/box over the core for the charged air. the www.frozenboost.com air to water intercoolers are 'bar and plate' core, they do not work as well as a 'fin and tube' like a radiator core...
Been working on the deuce. I picked up a 1" drive pneumatic impact gun at Harbor Freight Tools for $185 and I got the 3 year replacement warranty. Apparently I missed the memo about my lug nuts are reverse thread, I broke a stud off before I got it right :doh: I need to start reading the service...
You guys are welcome at my place any time, I dont have quite the room Aaron does but I can fit 10 or so trucks with out having to park out in the woods.
I think Scott is coming out this Saturday?
I have mud if you dont mind a little water :driver:
Looks like I'm having a small get together [thumbzup] anyone is welcome to come by. I will be in the mountians testing some hand loads in the morning but I will be working on my brakes on the deuce about noon so any time after then you can stop by.
We can do a BBQ/bonfire in the evening :beer:

Update: My left rear most wheel cylinder started leaking to the point of being un drivable, I ordered 2 new wheel cylinders and 10ea rebuild kits so I can rebuild the cylinders on the M109 when I get it home. The parts should be here tomorrow. I would much rather use all new wheel cylinders but...
Man it is not my week, my girlfriend tried to take out our mail box with the Mazda3 this morning. . . mailbox 1 Mazda 0 lol
I cant wait to get out of town this weekend!
I dont have the parts, If I did I would pull a late night today and fix it. I'm going to order and replace all of them, anything else I should do while am in there?
I still have some green spray paint left over frome the deuce paint job I could use on the Mazda. . . but I think I should at...
I looked closer at my deuce, there is now a puddle of brake fluid on the inside of the rim and I lost the pedal. its coming out of the drum, I checked the brake line and its tight.
My deuce will 100% not be thereaua I'm really bummed out. . . But I will still follow the Saturday morning...
I got some bad news, I walked by my deuce when I got home from work and the left side of the rear most axle is leaking brake fluid. I will still be at the rally but my deuce will be left home, I just dont have the time to fix it this week (just started up a swing shift in the welding shop last...
