You bet, so no one can get to the engine, trust no one, especially when it has to sit outside.

nuke1 · 10-03-2009, 06:45 PM

Well i got about, 500 miles on her now, the transmission whines like crazy in overdrive, go figure, oh well, that is what winter is for, i found a few things that i want to change on the frame, and the rest seems fine, i forgot to tighten a few bolts,, oops, rattle rattle, fall off down the road it goes. LOL. just a few bolts nothing big. Got a new camera a Canon EOS-40D. so went and took a couple pics, here you go, and In the future I would like to do some real photography, so here is the start. Oh and as for the engine runs good, rear happy, believe it or not, but i am knocking out 25.4 mpg, unbelievable i though, but so happy about that. Later guys. Oh and a parting shot for you guys.

watahyahknow · 10-03-2009, 07:08 PM

a little trick thats been done by raceteams putting together racecars : use a silver (yellow red watever works on the colour bolt and is verry visible) marker and mark every nut and bolt after you tightened it for the last time , it makes it eazier to track down the loose bolts before it becomes a problem
making the line extent to the frame or other solid part allso shows if it moves or loosens itself.

that said i upgraded a frontwheel drive car to a bigger faster etc model once and "forgot" to tighten down the four big bolts of the subframe that held the engine and front suspension to the car itself.
i found them after i had the car on a propper lift doing the exaust but that couldve become a verry serious falure in a corner or during accelleration
i done the markerpen thing everytime since

VA72C10 · 10-03-2009, 10:00 PM

Cool deal. Amazing mileage...was that all highway....downhill....

*highperf4x4* · 10-03-2009, 10:08 PM

with the a/c off and the tires over inflated??

gcburdic · 10-03-2009, 10:31 PM

Don't look now Nuke, but you got the "Law" on your tail!!!

What did you do, hire some tough guy to watch your truck instead of a alarm system??

Great gas milage....were you pushing it??

I saw that when i was taking the pic, thought it was kinda cool, And you bet that "thug" sure would take care of someone if they messed with the truck. Alarm will be soon and the attack dog with the Big thick chain with the name terminator chained to Havoc.

bigbadjohn84 · 10-05-2009, 08:12 AM

She is still not 100% tuned yet, waiting for full breakin, the gears are 3.73 running a 30.5" tall tire with my overdrive. Thanks, and yah i could hardly believe the mileage. checked it multiple times. That will be a nice engine that you are building.

I need that mileage myself.

nuke1 · 10-05-2009, 03:31 PM

watahyahknow · 10-05-2009, 04:05 PM

if you into it go build those economy motors and sell them for a good price , in times like these they need them if they make power and look good so mush the better

Slick67 · 10-05-2009, 05:59 PM

Those tire marks from hitting your brakes too hard?!?!?!

Great gas mileage!!!! I'm jealous and have not got my motor back from the machine shop yet.

Racinaround · 10-22-2009, 01:40 AM

Hay Nuke
Nice Work!
I just looked thru your 15 pages
I had a question! Where did you get the dimentions for cutting the frame and bed? I have done the bed trick and didn't like my result and just bought a new bed
I like the way you did that!

tdave00 · 10-22-2009, 02:33 AM

Must have missed what rotors you used for the rear brakes?? Do you happen to still have the cad file for those brake brackets you had made?
