The engine is in. I have 3 areas of concern, power steering pump (using the motor sport bracket), Alternator, and my modified steering column. The column may take some work, the other two areas can be fixed by either the $1400 kit from BC or a kit from Power By The Hour that does the same...

I did mine with tube, 1.25 and it has been great. I have not had a chance to build inner fenders but it will be pretty easy when I do. I am swapping in a Coyote, being able to pull the front clip completely has made it much easier. Look at my build thread for more info. Dennis

Under the knife, The 4.6 is almost ready to come out, the 5.0 is almost ready to go in...

The 73 I have long been on the hunt for is U15GLR90650, it was manual 3spd, power steering and IIRC was a May of 73 truck. If I ever find it back in the midwest I will give you more detail. Dennis

Thanks guys, I look forward to doing some updates here shortly. I will be bringing home the engine tonight!

No fitment issues, when I fabbed the cage I put the upper halo out within about 1/2" of the hard top inner upper pinch rail. The soft top fits tight but fine. I bought 4 of the 1.75 tube clamps from Ballistic and will create mounts on the cage for the soft top bows. This should allow me to...

Rolling on BFG 37s, Walker Evans Beadlocks and the new Proflow hood. I also put a Rampage soft top on it. I like it much better than my BC top. I have a Bauman from the mass buy coming to control the 4r70w better and a 2012 5.0 out of a Mustang showing up on Tuesday. Another round of...

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/general-chit-chat/1554938-xtreme-4x4-ends-year.html looks like Spike is airing Powernation episodes a week later as new. I have this weeks recording on CBS, and last weeks are being picked up on Spike.

Ian from Xtreme apparently got on Pirate and said that PowerblockTV was not renewed by Spike. With some minor tweaks they are now on CBS here in Colorado/Comcast as Powernation. As somone said, most of the same people, new shop, tools and slightly changed focus for each show. I wonder why...

I just placed my order, thanks for the mass buy! Dennis

Please add me to the list, I will either use it on my current 4.6/4r70w or the 5.0/4r70w. Dennis

you can make your own using microbubbles and Home Depot mis-tint latex paint. I used it on my firewall when I put my truck together. Google home made lizard skin, there are plenty of write ups. Dennis

Some day I will find my old 73. I would buy it back in a heartbeat. Dennis

If you could, give me your thoughts on the question I posted a few up? I was at SEMA too, I was hoping to see the Hellwig Bronco there this year? Dennis

Let me know, I am planning a Coyote swap and I need a stand alone harness for my 4r70w. Dennis

I need to update; Coilovers, Hood Trade to Viperwolf (New Proflow) and a set of 17" Walker Evans Beadlocks. I need to find a soft top and some 37s. Updates soon...

Badges in my office, booked at Vdara. We will be there Wednesday morning through Saturday.

I could not find the exact battery they had but similar looking units went for ~$1500! I might pay $400-$500 but not that. Dennis

I wish you would stop uncovering rust, I really want to see the 4bd1t process! BTW, nice touch on the tailgate, I have been wanting to do the same, possibly with a canadian Mercury tailgate. Dennis

I am looking at a diesel for my truck, swapping out the 4.6 DOHC. My candidates are the 2.8 TGV, 4BT and 4BD1T. the 4BT is the loudest of the bunch, by far. I am looking at the 700R4 but I also read that it takes a fair amount to make them stand up behind the torque of any of them. From what I...
