[NGABronco]

Aw shon, you had to remind me!!! I forgot to take the grill and hood to get them blasted!!! I got to get a new tank of argon and a spool of wire tomorrow, there's a bunch more welding/patching to do!!!
See ya Sunday!!
Thanks!!!;D ;D

 

[tasker]

need some more pics! i'm digging this!

 

[NGABronco]

Ain't got much done on the body, got the Duff front shock hoops mounted and the rear brackets mounted on the frame.

I got side tracked by the engine last week, and I ran into a deal on the assemlby and got a Dyno run to boot!!!

I am one fired up old dog!!!!;D ;D ;D

What has been called the "EB2" and the "Stretch Project" has now become the "Long Horse"!!!!;D ;D ;D

Engine by me, Valve Covers by my GF, Carb & intake by scotts77, assembly & Dyno by D&A Machine Shop!!!

Ain't life grand!!!!;D ;D ;D

 

[fatboy]

And what did the Dyno say?!?!?!?!

 

[NGABronco]

OK fatboy, here's the #'s. Remember it's a 0.40 over 302, new pistons, RV cam, iron heads, an alun. intake and a Holley 4 bbl. A budget build, wasn't looking for big hp, just a strong solid engine, put together right and know that it runs!!

 

[shonivey]

#'s look good ben. 250's respectable for a "budget" build. But keeping it simple bumps up the reliability factor in my opinion. Our wheelbases don't lend themselves to racecars.
Did you ever figure out the "WIRE" ??

FANTASTIC brother!

 

[gbbronco]

Looking good have to do alot to pass Crazy Horse .GREG

 

[bax]

Can we call it the trojan horse? More guys can fit in this one. Long horse sounds funny.
Good #'s on the unit.

 

[Pearlcoat]

Thanks guys!!

j. I sure am planning on the round up, I got to be there and show off those Interco TSL Radials I won last year!!!! I got to get some 15"x10" wheels, I'm somewhere between black wagons or a brushed alum!!! I some how feel I would cry everytime I rock rashed an alum. rim???%) %)

Ben, you know I expect to see this stretched, long-horse, EB2 at the roundup sporting those tires! Sure looks like alot of work to me, don't think I would have the patience (or pocketbook) for it, but I love watching others do it. Can't wait to see it.

 

[NGABronco]

Thanks shon!!

Greg, I'll have to put a good switch key in there, so you can't sneak up on me!!!

bax, the GF x-nayed the Trojan thing, said it would lead to the perv forum!!!

pearl, I most certainly hope to have it there and I'll take you for a ride!!!

 

[NGABronco]

Man, the hoildays and weather put me behind!!! My "in the basement" work has been slow at best! But we got smiled on Fri., Sat., & Sun. and I been grinding bondo & steel!!!! Got that tub outside and made a lot of progress.
Rolled it over today, a little more welding & grinding then seal it and shoot primer on the bottom, roll it and do the pretty side!!!

Been so cold in North GA, I couldn't find an old mattress to roll it with, had to get some pine straw bales at the Depot. They worked great and I found a place to store them til spring!!!

Being a one man show is tuff!!!%)%)

 

[bax]

Dam Ben, don't you have any friends? I mean one's that would come over and help a little. Us old guys got to work smarter. It looks like you got it , congratulations. One man shows are fun to watch sometimes. I have no friends, so I work alone all the time but my back hoe is a good buddy.

 

[horsewpt69]

Ok, maybe you can't call it the "trojan horse"..... but you really outta consider getting emblems from one of those new Dodge stationwagons, along with one off of a basemodel fullsize Bronco or F150. This way you can combine the two emblems to read "magnum xl"

 

[NGABronco]

hey bax, you're dead on, on all accounts!!! My shop crane, rear bumper and rolling chassie were my friends today!!! I've always been jealous of your back-hoe!!! In you last thread it looks like you have an overhead lift too!!!

wpt, "Magnum XL" ain't a bad name, but if I call it "Long Horse", it's implying the same thought!!!;D;D;D

"A man has to do, what a man has to do!!!" Who said that BS????;D;D;D

 

[bax]

Thats the work smart pat. back Hoe and I beams with winches. I'm really good at lifting heavy stuff. Mom always told me that.

 

[NGABronco]

Yeah bax, my Mom told me to be a Doctor!!! DUH!!!!;D;D She never told me to have friends around to do this stuff!!!

A buddy down in LA said he hope's I'm around when he dies!!! "Cause I'm always bringing old shit back to life"!!!!;D;D;D

 

[scbronco]

so you said cast iron heads on your motor... stock heads? ported, or out of something else? just curious... your numbers are right on with my goals for my motor.
