time is the 1 thing we all here have in common or is it a lack of it?

Rochlow · 07-15-2012, 10:02 PM

Welded the bag brackets on and sandblasted it.. Now I have to figure out how to clean the sand out of the housing..

If you have a radiator shop close to you, you could hot tank it.

looking good Jeff, moving along quickly too. im at a stand still. summer is just to busy.

Rochlow · 07-21-2012, 08:44 PM

Not as fast as I want. Working a ton of overtime at work, so that's been me keeping away from the project.

Rochlow · 07-23-2012, 12:49 PM

Got the engine mounted to the frame, but I'm having issues with the oil pan hitting the rack and pinion, even with the trans tail at 6 degrees. Nate built me truss tabs with engine mount points 1/4" higher than normal and this didn't resolve the problem.

Nate is going to call me tonight to try and help resolve it. But, I was curious if anyone else has run into this problem?

Tinkermc · 07-23-2012, 01:36 PM

lookin good

72blueshark · 07-26-2012, 12:37 PM

As far as I know they are 283/327 valve covers. I know they came from an engine with the oil filler tube on the intake manifold. Member Delmo, welded the bungs in for me so I could put a oil cap and a pvc valve in them

True 67 · 07-26-2012, 06:58 PM

Nice progress... keep going... I know about working overtime so that you can turn around and spen dit on the truck..
