So what was the actual engine damage?
I was at a buddy's place one day when he gave his civvy 6.2 a big shot of ether. I said, "you know that's a LOT of ether right?" RR-RR-BANG, Ka-dink! The 'ka-dink' was one of the starter bolts hitting his shop floor. The engine kicked back on the...
Took a piece of 1/2"x 3" flat stock and put two bends in it then punch holes in the two 'tabs' that were bent out to pin through to secure the winch in the front corner of the bed. The mog had some type of mounts bolted into the drop side bed side and I bolted the flat stock piece to that...
Well...pretty much exiting the end of the tunnel on this project. Bumper is complete, winch is done, made a collar for stem of the jib to set the height and a short pulley'ed lanyard to set how far out the rope would be at the end of it. Only thing left to machine now are a set of pins for the...
The 'DX' olds engine may have addressed certain block issues but still had a cast crank. I've pulled several apart with broken cranks looking that DX cast into the side of the block. Some engine builders back when were taking those connecting rods and modifying them to fit SBC's. I thought...
I've done several and am probably going to catch heat about this but...when I put them back together the original side lash tabbed ring thing you're talking about made the diff very tight at the factory setting. I went one tab of rotation less than the factory setting and finished the...
Buddy of mine and his friend went to pick up a deuce his friend had bought. The got it fired, then tried to move it and it wouldn't go. My buddy went to check something and the friend (a new MV'er) revved the diesel and let the clutch go in 1st gear. Yep, e-brake was seized (which usually...
SBC swap will be fairly easy. You may need to junkyard a PS pump brackets but all in all a pretty straight forward swap. Oh, and go with an HEI distributor. All you need with them is one switched hot wire and you're ready fire. May even be able to use the solenoid switch wire on at the 6.2's...
Whom ever picks it up...if you're directed to a check booth with multiple lanes on either side of it and barriers to slalom through, do do it! That will be NSA. You will not, even though you (I) was directed to go there, by personel at the first gate, have fun for the next half an hour.
:shock:
I found one of them at a scrap yard one time and and rescued it for parts. It was cab and chassis and had been used as a township truck for plowing and salting. Paper thin frame from years of duty from that...some the nuts holding the chunk into the axle housing were rusted off! It had a...
