Look at the fun i had today


Huge thanks to Ron for saving my ass, again. I swear, if we ever have a contest for MVP of motorgen Ron better win, hands down, or i'm going scortched earth on y'all.

He drove down and took me to the yard, we went through 3 trucks until we found an axle i was able to pull. He dropped me off then I got to work.

Didnt have a bearing puller (david copperfield must have it now) so I use a 7' long piece of rode and smacked the bearings out from the back side. Reinstalled everything then as i was finishing up my cover, the very last bolt broke, its above the fluid line so i'm not worried about it.

Now that everything is finished, onto the brake tomorrow. One less thing to worry about with the truck.

On a happier note, Shawn was able to scavenge the springs from my AFR's that we removed and installed some inner coils, double shimmed them and they are good to go for .605 lift and installed at 135lbs. If i havnt said so already, go to pacific engine, championship engine quality for backyard mechanic prices.
So far engine build is as follows
.566/.566 218/218 114*
Smoothed over world/roush 200cc heads
OBX 1 5/8 long tubes
Link bar lifters
Energy gold rockers
Eagle/ford/probe 395w rotating assembly coming to about 9.5:1

Should make an easy 400rwhp and 500rwtq. Plenty for a 4400lb 4x4 truck. All while passing smog with the a/c on.

So i finally got around to changing out the front fuel pump with the unit Ron gave me. Truck runs much better on the front tank compared to the rear tank. I was having part throttle power issues, i would have to wood it until the truck would "come alive" i was under the impression it was just worn out. Driving around on the front tank the truck has even power everywhere like it should. Guess that means it's time to change the rear pump as well.
