Never Doing Another Project !!

Eek!

 

Oh, suck!

 

Those damned machine shop people ..... always slowing down such a detailed Build !

 

nice, looks good

 

Well after yanking my rebuilt motor back out and fixing the machine shops mistake (put cam bearing in backwards) shes back in, looking pretty again. Runs like a new motor, great oil pressure, no smoke after break In and a new clutch installed. On to the next phase








Due to the close proximity to the fuel line I heat wrapped the exhaust

 

Good job on the engine rebuilt. But as for the radiator shroud it wont be very effective. I would close up the side on the shroud to the radiator. If not done the air will be draw from those opening and will not go trought the radiator.

 

Its the factory shroud ?

 

I looked back through your pictures to see what Jonyboy was talking about. Factory shroud but not the original radiator. There is a gap around the edge that could be closed up with a strip of rubber. Along the top there is core exposed that is offering little cooling. I would run it first to see if coolant temp is an issue. Project is beautiful.

 

I see.....this is why this forum rocks....

 

My latest break and fix on the truck from hell....opened the hood and the tab for the support arm was broke off





Made this up








Works like a charm

 

Driving it around today on some side streets. Still having an issue with the trans , will only go into 2nd when running, I have to shut the truck off to get it in any other gear. Clutch is disengaging. But if I remove the rear drive shaft it shifts fine ?? Consensus is a tight pilot bearing

 

Hey, John, someone stole the bed of your truck. Looks very nice.

 

Less than an inch

 

Yeah. It's a mystery I'm trying to solve before pulling the transmission out again

 

Yes. Been thru that. Clutch disc come right off flywheel
