domn8tr Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Been slowly working on the 521 I bought from SdSurf awhile ago and it's almost done! I went thru the motor and put in the missing pencil seals, added an A87 race ported head, Weber 32/36. Z24 oil pump and spraybar, matchbox dizzy, Big Volvo Radiator (Thanks Mike!) New clutch and rebuilt dogleg 5 speed. I also picked up some (fresh) j'yard seats and a new carpet kit. I kept the shade the same but brought it up to date with a fine metallic. Now i just have to change the chunked up diff and do a little assembly and hopefully next week I'll roll on down to Starbucks! Quote Link to comment

domn8tr Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Frustrating day... Spent hours down at A&B looking to trade the 437 for another diff preferably a 411 or 390 but to no avail. I thought the aluminum 521 diff had a 485 but both are 437. i threw it in anyway. guess i'll just live with the same ratio for now. I'll post more pics when i get a little further along.

jon521 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 looks awesome man. is that a custom made radiator your running, or is that out of something? Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 your truck looks awesome i wish i had more time and money to finish my "Grimace" 521 build Quote Link to comment
domn8tr Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 The radiator is a Volvo unit. SDSurf gave it to me when i bought the truck. I had a friend fab a inlet piece where the temp sender was. I found a small cap at the local motorcycle yard and used an aluminum sport water bottle for a coolant recovery bottle. The truck runs super cool, on the very left line of the operating range. I want it that way cause summers hit 100 around here Quote Link to comment
