I've seen a Chevrolet 4.3 V6 (literally 3/4 of a 350 V8 for those unfamiliar) run with open exhaust ports. For awhile. It burnt a bunch of valves. (Unsurprisingly.)

I refuse to believe that many running vehicles exist anywhere near Valentine.

kastein posted:The o2 sensor really works better when it reads only exhaust. Yeah I basically meant "try all the parts in all the orientations, including upside down and backwards, and one of them might clear." And when I mentioned the truck Y-block exhaust configuration, I was talking about this: Looks like Shrugs had the right idea, too. Yay, I'm glad that things are progressing! Does the steering box clear in its factory position with the van manifold upside down and backwards? If so, that ownsssss

Well I mean those particular manifolds won't fit a SBC, but that orientation of shooting it out the top front and around the other side. It actually goes in the front of the pass side manifold, so they only need one exhaust system for the 6-cyl and V8 motors, but you could just run it parallel to the other pipe on that side and into a Y-pipe or whatever. I dunno how much of an exhaust system is even in play here.

Ok but there is just one important thing you need to hear before I stopkastein posted:e: cast iron log manifolds I assume collide with something, but if one upside down on the driver side fits, maybe rock it... and feed it straight into a turbo Otherwise, what does it still need? Cooling, brakes, lights, tires, DRIVE?

Connect coolant hoses, brakes, tires, and figure how to route/fab the throttle cable. So it's pretty much done!

What about the horn? Surely there's a junked semi around with a pair that can be tucked under those bigass front fenders.

How much do you need brakes really?

# ? Dec 11, 2016 03:08 |

If its geared anything like my 56 IH with 6.16s in the back, not at all. Just let off the gas and it stops faster than the brakes ever could.

Braking is for cowards, rip a J-turn and burnout to slow down.

Everyone is loving weird. All this talk about going to Florida and then people are talking about braking a bunch. You don't get places by braking!

Well, the math did say 95 was within the realm of possibility. Alternative to braking: Get it up to that speed, drop into neutral, kill the engine, and coast on the momentum of 3+ tons all the way to Florida.

Just fix the leaks the brakes will work good enough I doubt the bearings roll perfectly it will stop on its own plus the dented exhaust is a jake brake.
