ive never been a fan of the nostril chevys. the earlier 50s ones are classic, and the later 60s ones have the muscle truck look. but those ones are just... weird, but not in a cool quirky way

Yeah I am not a fan. The Early 50s are my personal favorite and I like the mid 50s ford trucks. Squarebody has grown on me after working on mine but that is probably because almost all of it will be new by the time I am done

I could do with a touch more offset on the wheels - they're a little bit sunk - but style and stance is on point.

It's got the right stance, shape and proportions, that's the most important thing with a ute conversion. Without that, all the finishing details in the world don't matter (although yes, they matter too). Darchangel posted:UNF. Funnily enough, wheel fitment was a massive deal at Bathurst 1987. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1987_James_Hardie_1000 quote:The 1987 race was provisionally won by the Ford-supported Eggenberger Motorsport team, with Steve Soper and Pierre Dieudonné taking the chequered flag in their Ford Sierra RS500, two laps ahead of teammates Klaus Ludwig and Klaus Niedzwiedz. Third was the best of the locally based teams, the HDT Racing entered Holden VL Commodore SS Group A driven by Peter McLeod, Peter Brock and David Parsons.

BalloonFish posted:The high pressure pumps can vary as well - old-school mechanical types can be a distributor (similar to the dizzy on a gas engine) where one pumping element rotates to feed one fuel line pet injector in sequence, a multi-element plunger pump (one pump per cylinder, arranged in a single unit and timed and actuated by an internal camshaft) or unit injectors (where each injector contains its own HP pump, driven directly by a camshaft - these are usually found on bigger industrial/marine/heavy equipment engines.

Anybody remember these lil homies? Turns out they were an exact fit, complete with a hole on the bottom for the lock rod, for the door lock recesses of a 2002 Ford Taurus.  I had one of those, with one of those, and we rode together like that for many years.

My partner has a 3rd gen Rav4 with that feature - it’s too small to hold the manual, which goes in the real glovebox just below the small one. The small one is great for holding sunglasses, small papers, and covid masks.

Yeah it's like 185hp and 400 ft lbs torque lol Apparently the 366 is favored for longevity as it uses the same parts as the 450 and 5xx models but is wildly understressed. Redline at an astonishing 2600 RPM. And yeah will basically outlive the first three owners, supposedly Mechanics love it because you can swap out the pistons and cylinder liners without pulling the engine, and is just easy to work on in general Hadlock fucked around with this message at 09:05 on Jan 31, 2023 |
