    Amatuer Attempt at a Buildup (this should be funny)

    Woah That sounds like more than I can chew, or maybe just more than I want to chew. I understand the reasoning but at this point there isn't a whole lot invested in this motor, so no big deal if it goes south on us. And the only reason we sent the heads off is because theres a serious hole in...

    Amatuer Attempt at a Buildup (this should be funny)

    Thanks for the input, Ill try my best to make that housing fit without rubbing, And Ill get the driveshaft fixed But you bring up good points about what all I should be doing at this stage. The motor is torn down so it is the time to fix any internal part. How about a list of what I should...

    Amatuer Attempt at a Buildup (this should be funny)

    Well I just got done removing the Heads. Just a few Questions. 1. How should I clean the old gaskets off the block?? or should I get the block decked?? 2. What kind of headers do you guys recommend?? Its time to buy some, and I've heard that the headers for a 86 to '90 Mustang will fit and go...

    Amatuer Attempt at a Buildup (this should be funny)

    ok, it works the fuel pump, that makes sense. But is there any way I can keep if from rubbing the cover again?? I was watching "Trucks" just the other day and I saw him install a little bumper on the end of his cam shaft to keep it from rubing the cover. Or do I even need to do anything at all??

    Amatuer Attempt at a Buildup (this should be funny)

    So one thing led to another and we've decided to get the heads machined, paint the valve covers and a whole new exhaust system. I want to port the heads and manifold, but thats yet to agreed upon. I hope this solves the oil out the exhaust problem. HOWEVER in true Domino effect fasion we have...

    Amatuer Attempt at a Buildup (this should be funny)

    PAINT We've been painting up the undercarrige for a couple weeks now. At first we were sandblasting the parts we wanted painted and then used a spray-can of primer and then a spray can of color for a couple coats. This worked for the radius arms and cups and oil pan, but there was no way I was...

    Amatuer Attempt at a Buildup (this should be funny)

    Thanks for the input I'm just wondering if there is an easy fix for the driveshaft, or do I need a a whole new one? Also The E-brake lines are on the shopping list. And we thought the oil in the exhaust might be a bad valve or two and then this.... Here's what happened with the engine - We...

    Amatuer Attempt at a Buildup (this should be funny)

    Yeah thats a welding mask, It actually took us a whole day to think up that one, Before that we were using a bandana and gogles. Did I mention that sandblasting sucks? Heres a good side by side to really appreciate our work We had to junk that set of coil cups, but the other set was still...

    Here's the poor man's sand blasting kit Includes cheap attachment for your compressor, a few bags of sand and one sucker of a younger brother (just kidding Chase, I'll let you drive it at least once or twice)

    Amatuer Attempt at a Buildup (this should be funny)

    Just a couple things about the rear end - First - you'll notice that it still has the original e-brake lines. I'm not sure if this is a good idea. I've gotten mixed opinions on whats nessasary. they do tighten up when the axle hangs. But at ride hight there's plenty of slack. (we'll probably...

    Choosing a Suspension Lift?

    I'm the new owner of a 69 Bronco. My goal this summer is to lift it 3 1/2" and get new tires/wheels. My Bronco has dual shocks at all the corners but no other mods to speak of. I've been shopping around and I think I'm gonna go with James Duff, (or WH or Tom's or...). Any advice on whos got the...
