That’s a great idea. There are a few of us that have 3d printers and would probably buy your files to print our own.

I like thrush mufflers. Not terribly expensive, flow ok and are not obnoxious. I’m running a 3” in and out on my 78 bronco. Quiet but still deep enough to know there is a built engines in front of it. Put the same one on an eb with hot 347 and you could still have conversation while driving...

I love you guys. Y’all always make me learn stuff in spite of being math deficient. Keep it coming cause I usually just make stuff break it and make it stronger the next time. I quit doing math when I started hiring structural engineers to check my building designs.

The engine in my 78 bronco ate the no 2 cam bearing and it did no damage to anything else. By ate I mean the entire bearing was in pieces in the pan. I don’t see how the cam didn’t break with no support in that journal. The engine had over 200000 miles on it.

Good catch. I missed that. Yes you definitely need the extension housing

By floating down the road do you mean the steering feels light and quick? You can add a steering stabilizer to help damper the steering speed. In my experience a lot I’ve early power steering trucks seem to have a bit too much gain in the pump so it feels really light. This is very handy off...

Here’s one of them.

My folks lived on oak island just across the cape fear for a lot of years. I remember being there in ‘68 it was a working fishing village then. I like Southport a lot, enjoy it.

Happy New Year to all and happy hunting.
