Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Looks like some plumbing workarounds ahead for you? Headers look good, real good!
My guy got mine rough fitted on the passenger side last week but my motor likes 28" 2-1/4 x 2-3/8 primaries with a slip on 4-1/2" high velocity merge collector, so not long enough to make it under the cab, had to angle them down and out, don't look nowhere as nice as yours lol, but should make power. Sure like the looks of them tucked under more like yours but engine builder said would have to give up a bit of power and I didn't want to give any up, already giving up some with the block. Not sure I'll even build an exhaust for off the track this time, never street drive it anymore anyway. |

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Brought me a shiny new water pump. Told a buddy I'm out of the 80's now. No more external pump drive.[IMG]https://i911.photobucket.com/albums/...ganw/018_1.jpg[/IMG]

Nice!

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Man I’d love to see this thing sometime this year... I’m just a ways away in Forney but plan to spend a lot of time in Enid and extreme this year. Not racing but supervising!

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Car show quality like your whole truck .

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Thanks Guys. I'm pecking away at it. I dropped the headers off to be coated Tuesday. I will have them back in a couple weeks. Hopefully it will start coming together pretty soon. I'm tired of it being scattered all over the shop.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
I really like that black coating instead of the shiny silver most people do.

My headers are done, anti roll done, modified 4-link cross member and new larger CM link bars done, new CM trans crossmember done, new CM tubular shaft loop done, mid plate done, truck is moving to a shop with a bender on Sunday and the old roll bar is coming out and new cage going in. Then mount up the chute and a set of wheelie bars for it. A guy is going to use my bumpers and make me a pair of glass ones that I'm having wrapped with chrome 3M, and make a new lexan back window. After that bring it home and have a crap load of little things to do. Hopefully my trans and convertor will be here by then. Motor is done and sitting on the dyno ready to fire, going on Monday to break it in and dyno it, then bring it home. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Abs-C...84099235194350 If you look at the Frank guys post on that page there is a picture of it sitting in the dyno room all lonely and waiting LOL. |

Sounds good. FYI Shakedown racing products has a front bumper. It was molded off of mine. I guess it might be cheaper for you to do local though. |

Yeah shipping to me is a killer, not looking forward to buying a new hood and paying the shipping on it that’s for sure. |
Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
I've been working every day on the truck. Stuck the transmission back in it yesterday. I pulled the pan and everything looked good. I'm waiting on a few fuel fittings and line that I will have by the end of the week. Plan on firing it up by Sunday! Yay. Still a bunch of work to do but I'm getting there.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Nice! Can't wait to se it all back together again.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
I wonder if one of these would be junk? Was thinking just for the track if a guy runs open carb to keep small rocks kicked up by the front tires from going into the carb.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
That one looks like a nice piece, just not sure how I’d like the vents exposed though.
Another option but maybe too high a guy on YB posted up when I asked about screens. http://www.rexmar.com/page193.html http://www.rexmar.com/page192.html |

Trouble with no filter is main track I go to doesn’t have paved pits it’s sand and gravel so they get pretty dusty, so an actual filter would be nice. |
