yaaay today i installed my NEW double roller timing chain..
and i ALSo.. started and finished fabbing my bracket to hold my electric fan into place.. i also tested it today that bad boy MOVES some serious air..
so when installed there will be a zerogap between the edges of the electric fan and the shroud SWEEEEETTTT
annd then
i also started installing accesories.. welded my e-brake bac together and cleaned the cab of my truck.. and scored a pair of 10 in subs with 400 watt amp from a airforce guy down the street..

Is that electric fan gonna survive the mud and river water?

[TheSebring]

Mine sure didn't in that Altima. Decided to tear it up and go through a ton of mud at about 40 and fried my electric fans with a quickness.

[dammitmitchell]

never had an issue before.. we used to race subies in the desert...
and if the electric dosent survive well.. it was CHEAP so there hehehe

[jgh64pkup]

just keep it submerged in water it will stay cool

[dammitmitchell]

i am praying that the paint does in fact hold....
it would REALLY SUCK if it started flaking

[jgh64pkup]

[dammitmitchell]

im low geared so it'll balance out.. =-) and heads are in the future.. just not now..

[jgh64pkup]

im just going to port the hell out of my little 487 heads
and try to make it work for now

[highperf4x4]

Yeah you're gonna need some serious compression to run that cam bro.

That fan shroud looks wicked!

[TheSebring]

Even better is the foot that got caught in the picture. Should've painted it too and posted pics. Really be ONE with the truck at that point.

[dammitmitchell]

[jgh64pkup]

whats your compression ratio and what intake are you running

[dammitmitchell]

edlebrock performer RPM...highrise..
got a holley 670 on top..
and heads are in teh near future just not right now..
and it's a GM crate 350...

[jgh64pkup]

ive got the same intake and a 600 carb
as soon as i get the money im going to get a 750 quick fuel

[dammitmitchell]

i know the welds look like crap..!
but they will be hidden for the most part...
and it's ok cause it's a 4x4!
and i suck at welding!.. (well flux core that is)
i had a few sections of jussst beautiful "dots"... then i slapped it too hard with my "little hammer" and bent it all to hell... yaaaaayyyy

wheel wells are "cut" and tacked into place .. tomorrow i'll butt weld in the filler piece to finish the "stretch"

[dammitmitchell]

p.s. that cheap ass paint STINKS and just burnns forever

[jgh64pkup]

clearing those 37s nice
my friend has that same problem on his 74
hes got a 6 in superlift and 36s
they rub when he turns

[dammitmitchell]

[jgh64pkup]

those heads started to scare me
they look like they need a valve job
what did you clean the pistons with
nevermind i see the steel wool now
