Ya my old 400EX (2004) is getting pretty tired, time to rebuild that too! While I was out in the snow playing, I tried climbing Sand Mtn. (it's huge) and made it all the way to the top a couple times. The snowmobilers couldn't believe that my quad made it lol

Gray Ghost · 02-11-2009, 12:45 AM

Damn that looks like fun...I forgot what snow is livin' in Texas.

LuckyHenriksen · 02-11-2009, 01:00 AM

Yep can't beat Oregon. Go a few hours in any direction and you get snow, desert, forest, or beach

nuke1 · 02-11-2009, 02:16 AM

the truck is really starting to come along there, i bet it is killing you having all those parts laying around, i know it does me.

LuckyHenriksen · 02-11-2009, 10:36 AM

Ya I just need a few more bolts and random crap then it can all come back together. I hate waiting for stuff to ship!

Twin what? Turbos? Carbs? Roots-Types? Centrifugal-Types? Ram-Air? Dont make me keep guessing.

Down the road, once the motor is functioning well and everything is sorted out, it will come out and get bored/stroked to a 416 or 432 with forged internals, and rework the L92 heads. Then add a set of 70ish mm turbos with a BIG intercooler

LuckyHenriksen · 02-14-2009, 03:06 AM

Got the interior back together, now I can concentrate on making a gauge panel out of the heater control plate. I really need to get one of those 3 jaw pullers for myself, now the crank timing sprocket needs to be pulled off......... in other new I have a new valve seat on order from West Coast Cylinder Heads (WCCH) and I should be able to have the heads done and back by the end of the week. I am contemplating getting a shifter pedestal from Advanced Waterjet, to bring the Quarter Stick up to a better position for the bench seat. Jon at Texas Speed is working on getting together all the loose bolts and crap I need to finish up installing everything, then it will be time to swing it in! I can't wait. I exactly a month Performance Race Engineering (PRE) is having a horsepower shoot out, and I want to have this beast ready by then. We'll see how it goes. Heres a couple random pics from tonight

*Dylan · 02-14-2009, 09:48 AM

Trucks looking awesome, how long do ya reckon it'll be til' the new engine is in there?

LuckyHenriksen · 02-14-2009, 12:34 PM

I hope to have it in there within a month

LuckyHenriksen · 02-15-2009, 08:10 PM

Gave up trying to make gauges fit in the heater control panel (after I abused it)

So I made a cardboard template and bent this one up out of aluminum.

LuckyHenriksen · 02-15-2009, 08:11 PM

Cut out the holes

Gave it a coat of paint and installed it

It attaches to two screws in the ash tray flanges and two bolts where the OG heater panel bolted in. If only the hole in the dash was like 1/16 of an inch wider they would fit flush

*Dylan · 02-15-2009, 10:02 PM

You have another of those Remove ribbons attached to your key? I like it haha.

LuckyHenriksen · 02-15-2009, 10:51 PM

Yep you never lose it that way

thebrown83 · 02-23-2009, 10:56 PM

any updates on the 6.0L install? its been a while...

LuckyHenriksen · 02-23-2009, 11:04 PM

I just got the crank sprocket removal tool, have new cam bearings, head bolts, header bolts, intake bolts etc. on order from Texas Speed. I brought the new valve and finally got a seat that would fit it from West Coast Cylinder Heads. They are at the machine shop and should be finished up in the next couple days. Then the new bearings go in, the new cam goes in, the pan and front cover get buttoned back up and the block gets cleaned and painted

then it gets swung on a chain

I can't wait. I really really want to hear this cam

herodcreekfarms · 02-24-2009, 12:29 AM

man wish i was this far along great job

Twisted78SS · 02-24-2009, 12:33 AM

Agreed, waiting is the hardest part. I went up to work on my Blazer a few times trying to get it ready to bring it to my shop. I can't wait either!!!!

the project is Looking good,

we need to get a Portland area meet going before to long.

LuckyHenriksen · 02-24-2009, 02:17 AM
