Goldfish101 Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 How far did you get tonight? I wanna hear it run again! Did you find that 4 blade fan? Im not driving her out to hans' until I get rid of that stupid ass clutch fan. Im also contemplating doing the 5 speed swap before fest as Frank seems to think we can do it without pulling the motor and just dropping a torsion bar. I just dont wanna get everything unbolted and come to find out we cant and miss fest because of it tho Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 well last night I pulled the bed back off and fixed the brakelines ..... the e brake........swapped in my degreed lowering blocks that total fixed driveline rubbing.....don't even need to mod the cab but its a spare cab anyway so meah!!!!!! um watched the Centralia tigers lose on a safety on Thursday night football....also I spent some time tinkering with the new roadster fairlady air cleaner for my su's........ hans spent a few huors drilling spot welds and repositioning the air horns on the base of the air cleaner .......definitely made it happen for me......I hope he takes more vacations from work ......spent some time on the red truck ......blasted the rearend .....finished sinking the rear perches in the frame...... all that's left is the notches and bolting it back together but then its on to the front .....might be tight on the l20 swap .... leaving that till last incase I has to make the trip still l 16......everything is there for the swap .....hoping to rake only a day or two for his swap .... naner I stll need that through out collar u found .....the red truck will need one so I pay u moneyz for it ...pics are loading .....give me a second Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 oh u have to drop the torsion bar to do it that way ... which is why I pulled my motor in stead of pulling the tranny......pls don't forget u need a drive shaft since your going from a short tail 4 so to a tong tail 5 sp... its like a 27.5 on the 4 sp and 31.5ish on the 5 sp.... Oh and u still got to pull it out of the goon too .....its all ready to go I even put a new tail shaft seal in it I think.........I should make u buy a motor stand to put my l20 goon motor on .......since I made u a sweet deal on my 620 tranny.....did u get my carb on there yet? if not I want it back ...

jrock4224 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 lol I told him if we posted this it would become a request ....... kinda feel like I owe u, so lemme see what I can do ...they definitely gave me over a inch of more driveline clearance and a almost perfect pinion angle ...im excited to see if this cures my 70 to 75 slight vibration ...I also lubed the fuck out of my u joints cuz not sure I ever did when I put it in few months back oh and shockingly this is the first set of u bolts that I reused ...... every other ones have stripped out when i try and re use them ... must be cause I hand tightened last time i put them on ..... cuz I used the impact this time and they still got tight as fuck and I dont plan on removing them Quote Link to comment

jrock4224 Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 well it's back on the ground and low as fuck ... but the bitch wont start now ....but who cares when it looks like this and has a ton of suspension travel ... so much now I got two inches of travel in the rear and the only thing it hits now is the pumpkin on the bottom of the box and it takes a lot of compression to get that to happen.... air shocks are on and gas tank is in.......its been a bitch but heres some pics... theres some other pics I am loading but for now ... yes the front needs to come down a little ... I got a shit ton of travel up front so the only limiting factor is the wheel and tire bottomin out in the front wheel well which it already does so we will see ... first order is to find out what isn't happening allowing it to start... it cranks and theres fuel just no fire.....it started two removals ago and we haven't changed anything other then took the motor out and ut it back in ..... I will post the other pics .....soon..... hans truck is coming alojng its all done out back except for a rear disc brake clearance issue ... I handled the front discs and clearancing and then pulled the motor out ..... its ready to start going back together,....I got pics of it too .... edit ... being this low and running rear discs is a tough/..... right now this low the caliper is almost hitting the frame on both sides ... we cant use any ebrake shit on there and that cast on the caliper that houses all the parking brake stuff is whats so close to the frame......prolly gonna have to channel the frame rail .... I say cut off the offending caliper section but we don't know what or how the ebrake is worked so we might have issues there .... 4 Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 oh yeah matt gold fish came by in the nest ..... for a second ......looked good in the dark I got that pic too ....and a vid of the suspension travel in the rear Quote Link to comment
