That's funny. I see a new Speed Channel show coming out of this. Just add a little drama and you will have a hit T.V. show.

Here are a few motor pics for you guys

funkytechmonkey · 02-12-2012, 12:25 AM

and some progress on the plumbing

The rear lines run very close to the notch but they dont touch. It makes me a little nervous but I think it will be ok after i adjust the trailing arms

funkytechmonkey · 02-12-2012, 12:31 AM

the front

funkytechmonkey · 02-12-2012, 12:40 AM

I finally got the tires I have been wanting. I orignally went with the BF Goodrich G-Force but the rear tires were on backorder for 3 months. I called Michelin and they told me they had no plans on making that size any time soon so I upgraded to the Michelin Pilot Sport Plus. I am running the Boss 338 wheels 20x8 front with 255/35ZR20 and 20x10 in the rear with 275/35ZR20.

VA72C10 · 02-12-2012, 01:15 AM

I'm glad that thing didn't grow legs!!!

funkytechmonkey · 02-12-2012, 12:34 PM

Going back to Summit today... gotta get headers and some stuff to finish off the break lines.

mcbassin · 02-12-2012, 02:43 PM

Miss one day on the computor, and I'm a page and a half behind

, great update and everything looks killer.....Jim

funkytechmonkey · 02-12-2012, 11:36 PM

Thanks!!

Motor is now sitting in the frame. I may have a problem with the oil pan hitting the rack but hopefully a few small shims on the rack will resolve that issue.

Sorry... That should have been NOW sitting in the frame not "not sitting in the frame".

Tranny is going in tonight.

Looks great, love the new engine, loved the old engine too.

Your lucky it wasn't "big trash day" we have scrap jockeys that drive around before the city trash people come around and snag all the metal out of the pile. We used to put stuff out and see how long it took for someone to take it. lots of fun..

funkytechmonkey · 02-14-2012, 02:50 AM

a little bit of progress....motor in place.

decided to go with the dimond fire plugs

and you can see the problem i ran into with the oil pan hitting thr rack

funkytechmonkey · 02-14-2012, 02:58 AM

tonights progress.... tranny mounted and driveshaft mocked up. prob going to get a smaller aluminum shaft made. im going to look into that tomorrow

mcbassin · 02-14-2012, 09:39 AM

They are the patriot clippster mid-length ceramic coated headers. I ordered the Sanderson headers... But they were on backorder and I couldn't wait that long. They look exactly the same but were a bit cheaper.

Anyone in the GA area want to help with some wrenching on Saturday and Sunday? I'm hoping to get the cab and front clip on this weekend and MAYBE get her fired up for the first time on Sunday.

I would REALLY love someone that could help me shave my firewall while the cab is off. I'd even be willing to reimburse you for your gas money if you could help me do that. Otherwise I'm just going to put it off til the summer.
