I am not an expert, but I can describe the systems I am familiar with. A tank full of #2 fuel oil is connected to an oil burner in series with a cartridge filter (I do not know how fine). The oil burner head consists of a gear pump, nozzle, blower and ignition assembly. The nozzle has a fine...

Thanks, I'll check that out. But I am not thinking about using 100% WMO. I figure that from a practical perspective, I would be expecting to run in the neighborhood of 10 to 20%.

LOL. I think we need an engineering answer to this question: If a race car or race boat engine can produce high power at high rpm and high load for extended periods, why can't the same parts (block, crank, rods, pistons, heads) run a 23:1 CR compression ignition under less load, lower rpm and...

Glad we agree on that. Yes, I am sure that there is a way to get the pieces to transition from Deuce to Chevy (I am a Chevy person, too). While you look for good used crew cabs, ponder this: would a van body work? An extended full-size van body might almost be easier to line up, it would...

We've got plenty of threads on running WMO in your multi and others on running WMO in your diesel, still more on running home heating oil in a vehicle, but I don't recall seeing any discussion on running WMO in a home heating system. Some folks burn WMO in home-made 'furnaces' piped in to their...

Every time I catch this thread out of the corner of my eye, I misread the title and for a slight second I figure I brought up the plastic surgery forum by mistake.

I would go for it. It is a perfectly reasonable idea. My only suggestion is to find a way to keep the Deuce nose. No 'common' truck looks like that nor as good..

Oh, so I give up my welder and my multi, and I get a 350 in return? Cool! But I might be taking advantage of you by getting the better end of that deal, so let me throw in a bag of gold coins to make it fair and square. :)

OK, now we have a starting point. :)

So, please someone construct an imaginary multi-fuel SBC from parts in the Summit catalog. Vortec heads for the swirl, probably custom pistons, heavy duty rods, a forged crank, small valves with low lift to provide more clearance to the piston (and we are not after max HP), a custom cam, and...

I am not sure what type of wood was used originally. However, perhaps locust would work. My buddy lives in the oldest home in these parts - it predates the Revolution - and he swears by use of locust (untreated) for fence posts and outbuilding sills. He says that the old expression was that a...

Nevertheless, there is probably no better way of immobilizing a Deuce short of welding it to the ground.

With a Deuce, the first exposure is a petty thief/crack addict. They will want to steal the batteries. The second exposure is a fuel thief, who wants to siphon your tank. The third kind wants something to scrap, so the spare and any steel part that can easily be whacked off will be at risk...

...gutular interference? You a doctor? ;)

A 6x6 from your local saw mill?

No, it is absolutely not necessary. First of all there is always a slight oil film left behind if it sat there for 1000 years, because at a certain point the surface tension/capillary effect of the lubricant on metal overcomes gravity. Secondly it is perfectly ok for an engine that is not hot...

Thanks for the info, I might just dig into that a bit more. I might be mistaken, but as a former Jag person, I had not heard of such a thing. I could well be mistaken; when I find out I will report back.

There is a lot of overkill on this thread. Check - not change - the fluids and just start it. It will be fine.

Congratulations and best wishes for a safe recovery. (Gee, that sounds like a Hallmark moment.)
