how well does that s-10 door rubber fit and is is long enough to go clear around the door opening or do you have to peice it together?

Spray-Bomb · 02-13-2008, 01:53 PM

It's about 3" short

I like it, but it does make the door tight to shut (but not too bad IMO)
The main reason for it being a lil too tight is at the front of the door where it goes from big to the window frame it's really tight & thats the first place it hits

Spray-Bomb · 02-13-2008, 01:54 PM

Are ya ready for this !!! It's hard to handle...

I changed my oil !!!

And installed some fog lights

BACKYARD88 · 02-13-2008, 10:56 PM

Lol. Why change the oil? It was still there right? I just let mine burn off and replace it a little at a time

Spray-Bomb · 02-17-2008, 02:01 AM

Well boy & girls, it looks like my engine is in need of repair

It's no longer building adequate oil pressure & will need to be freshened (if I'm lucky)
So for now, I plan on scraping up the few hundred bucks it'll prolly take to freshen a engine I have laying around that needs bearings (hopefully thats all that one needs)

And if it needs more than that, I'll prolly just stick a I-6 in it till I have the money to buy the engine I've been wanting for my truck (454 sleeved down to 396, bad@ss engine)

I'm super bummed about this

Why not just put a 396 crank in a 454 and get a 427?

Sucks to hear about the motor man, I miss hearing that small block through those single chamber mufflers!

BTW, what's this talk about a 396? What do you know about a Big Block Chevrolet, boy?

Spray-Bomb · 02-17-2008, 08:23 AM

Well I went and got some STP oil junk & put in it, but it didn't help any
So I have a scheme (I mean plan), that if works will be rather cool
Sorry, I can't tell you it's a secret

Bob 68327 · 02-17-2008, 09:48 AM

Can't believe that STP didn't fix it!! I saw Richard Petty on tv and it fixes everything

Good Luck !! with the top secret plan !! Bob

Spray-Bomb · 02-17-2008, 09:57 AM

Lmao !!!

Spray-Bomb · 02-17-2008, 10:28 AM

Well I set my scheme (I mean plan) into motion tonight, so I hope all goes well with it lol

It's gonna be kick'n !!!

Spray-Bomb · 02-17-2008, 11:07 AM

Well this is a race engine & the thicker walls make it more durable
As well as make it be capable of handling more boost

I didn't build it, so I'm not gonna change it lol
