ssnapz Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 now after the dramatic pause, actully i had the first post one sentence from being done and got a phone call that made me loose it all so i kept it short and wait till today to start it so i bought my truck 3 years ago. a gutless pos that ran lean and desieled every time i shut it off. then i blew the head gasket, with 240k i decided a full rebuild would be best. so i called rebello racing and asked about options cause stock is no fun. after the list of stuff i could do with the amount of hp i could see. i relized i didnt have the money yet. so i put a bottle of blue devil in to get me by till i could come up with money. know that the truck ran again, i decide to start looking for power for little to no money. so i disconnected all the smog equipment and gutted the bbq grill under the carb. while the carb was off i tried finding a way to fatten it up. with no luck i removed the vacuum pod for the secondary and made mechanical linkage. after the first dive i realized i drove this truck for a year without the secondary ever opening, what a differance. next mod, i bought a 350cfm holley from a buddy for $20, and an adapter for $20. cured my lean problem and got more power. that is until the carb failed and leaned out and melted the motor this happened as im opening my shop so i have no money and need my truck. i found a used motor for $200. so i bought all the should change parts to go with the motor. got it running to find out i should of done the timing chain. "oh well ill do it when i get a cam". i now decided i want a header, not willing to pay 170 for a junky pace setter i built my own. i then gave my old cam to the local machine shop with instructions of as big as possible. he called me when he got it back so i go pick it up and ask him how much. he told me i owe him a few smogs, as i love to barter i told him no problem. now with a new cam and timing kit. i need possie. installed my lincoln locker and went for a test drive. she got her name that day when my buddy said those are the best cookies ive ever seen.

datzenmike Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 since i cant work the pics heres my album. http://i1301.photobu...4/Louie_McNally The link doesn't work. You do know that you can edit your posts to remove failed posts like the pictures? Rather that making a post for every sentence try putting them together. I did this for your seven posts above... now after the dramatic pause, actully i had the first post one sentence from being done and got a phone call that made me loose it all so i kept it short and wait till today to start it so i bought my truck 3 years ago. a gutless pos that ran lean and desieled every time i shut it off. then i blew the head gasket, with 240k i decided a full rebuild would be best. so i called rebello racing and asked about options cause stock is no fun. after the list of stuff i could do with the amount of hp i could see. i relized i didnt have the money yet. so i put a bottle of blue devil in to get me by till i could come up with money. know that the truck ran again, i decide to start looking for power for little to no money. so i disconnected all the smog equipment and gutted the bbq grill under the carb. while the carb was off i tried finding a way to fatten it up. with no luck i removed the vacuum pod for the secondary and made mechanical linkage. after the first dive i realized i drove this truck for a year without the secondary ever opening, what a differance. next mod, i bought a 350cfm holley from a buddy for $20, and an adapter for $20. cured my lean problem and got more power. that is until the carb failed and leaned out and melted the motor this happened as im opening my shop so i have no money and need my truck. i found a used motor for $200. so i bought all the should change parts to go with the motor. got it running to find out i should of done the timing chain.

Still need to put the bed back on, other then traction I love it. Kept up with a Porsche suv light to light loosing traction every shift. Bed back on and possibly sticky tire I could've took it.
