Hey James, good thing your buddy caught the siezed lifters! The truck is looking good.
I'm in town until Wed and if the invitation is still open I wouldn't mind stopping in for a visit if you have time.
Take it easy.

Comp cams, xe274 and i had just comps high energy lifters but now have the pro magnums. a friend of mine just became a dealer for Lunati so he was discussing putting in a full roller cam with 600 lift just for kicks and dealer cost of coarse.

It is not that i would not recommend them, but the brothers kits may be better, i believe that if you were to do door skins and adjust them better they would be fine, they just have to work on the windows at the front, cut them a little better, as for the brake line what happened was actually my fault i had my glasses being fixed that day and i made the flare without them on, turns out i splt the SS line at the flare, poop happens i guess. very hard material to work with.

lookin good!

nuke1 · 08-25-2009, 09:54 AM

Well guys, i got her running yesterday, after a bunch of leaky brake lines, a bad leaking caliper and a bad wilwood proportioning valve. got in fired her up, put her in gear and backed her out of the garage. Took her about 20 miles to seat the rings in, had a friend follow me in his truck. She revs at 1500 rpm on the highway, really low. I got back to the city and gave her a little juice and boom, a cloud of smoke came out. So got her to my brothers house and checked her out. Turns out i blew the front seal out of the engine, stupid cheap timing covers. Oh well. Put a liter of oil in her and brought her home, but when i left i gave her a little go juice and completely sideways, this thing has nuts. WOW. so today will be clean the garage and replace the seal and hopefully give her an alignment tonite if i get the seal done. Anyways she is great, the suspension is stiff but not so stiff that you knock your teeth out, corners awesome, have never been in a truck that corners this good, you just crank her and she goes, good and flat around corners, i love it, but i am not so sure the trans will stay alive for long, we will see, anyways later guys.

VA72C10 · 08-25-2009, 10:00 AM

Glad to hear you got her on the road....you've had a lot of issues to chase...hopefully once you get the front seal and alignment done you'll have smooth sailing

bigbadjohn84 · 08-25-2009, 10:20 AM

thats cool! always good to finally see all your hard work come together.. nothing like a nice pair of black stripes to brighten your day.. ahhhh

mcbassin · 08-25-2009, 12:37 PM

Hey now,,,,,,Don't blow that puppie up again!

watahyahknow · 08-25-2009, 07:28 PM

when the rings arent completely set you might get some blow by
maibe theres need for a breather in one of the valvecovers

nuke1 · 08-26-2009, 12:23 PM

thanks guys, my saying has always been, "if i did not have bad luck i would have no luck!". anyways, i will tear her down tonite or next week, have a few things that have to do first. but here is a coule parting shots, and as of now she is on the back burner once she is road worthy, and i will slowly start getting her all done for next winter and paint, get the mods done, the interior...... you name it. thanks for all the replies guys.

James

Congratulations on finally having it drivable! That makes it all worthwhile once you get to go for that first spin. Whatever happened to the paint job you were going to do to it? Truck's looking great by the way!

*highperf4x4* · 08-26-2009, 11:09 PM

Yeah, I remember a discussion about paint too!

hes waiting for a sponsor to finance the job

nuke1 · 08-27-2009, 08:51 AM

LOL, yah i remember about that paint also, iit will get done, i wil take a pic of what i did and show you guys, sorry about that, but my time crunch put a dwindle on that getting done, i had to choose. and if i could get a sponsor for my real paint, wow, that would be great, but not a chance in that happening. the paint companies around here are tight, oh well. later guys.

gcburdic · 08-27-2009, 09:18 AM

Hey sorry about that, what is gonna happen is once the bumper is on, the inne structure behind the bumper in front of the rad will be cut out and air diverted onto the cooler, however this cooler is suppose to run cooler than most as it is designed to be run underneath a hot rod with limited space.

DUDE!! That sounds like the same statistic for the kids in my neighborhood!!!!! I'd like to run them under a hot rod with limited space too!!!!! What a coincidence!

lord I apologize for that right there and bless the pigmies.

nuke1 · 09-18-2009, 03:23 AM

LMFAO that is just too funny, and you are forgiven.
