I was considering just a triage bag of essentials, with the basic or oddball poo poo up to the dude who thinks this is a good idea. Like my Snap On ratchets, a select set of sockets, etc.

With a vehicle that old a standard socket set a test light timing light and screw driver set will aide you in reaching Valhalla.

8.1l vortec. With a blower.

Edit: Lemme specify, a blower on each bank of cylinders. :getin:

I like the cut of your jib. This thing is so big there could be turbos attached as well as superchargers.

Do you advance and retard your own ignition timing?

50% of people who claims to know how to it are lying. And people who boast supremacy of manuals don't take them out of cars often. I would much rather be jerking auto trannys then man trannys all day long.

The search continues, as somebody apparently does not want to make any money this weekend.
And my search has taken me down a strange road, one filled....with vans.

Anybody in the central Florida area looking for a van body to drop a new engine into? :v:
I mean, they come with a 350, and provide working and sleeping quarters...

Why not buy one drive it there and have a scrapper come get a motorless body. Transport, workspace,and sleeping quarters all in one.

It just drove the longest 1505 miles of its life, chugging gas and oil stabilizer. The plugs are probably fouled, and when you think about it, that means he should do plug wires because those are probably bad too. But hahaha, wait, the ignition coil's likely older than most highschoolers and the distributor could probably use a looking at and...

There's no way the horse ain't lame.

It's a jeep. 40$$ at a junkyard and a part sacrifice to the beast and all will be right.

If you haven't yet, I would highly recommend a new serpentine belt while you have that bitch out. Once you get it all buttoned up it is much harder to replace one.

It's a SBC belt....anyone who considers it hard....I'm sorry your not good with a wrench.

re: Mountain house, it is so much cheaper to buy the #10 cans and repackage or use the can within a week than to buy the individual meals at Cabelas, REI, etc.. I buy them for camping trips. My favorite is the beef stroganoff.

Geese are just one of those animals where if they land on simething, it'd theirs now.

Everyone thinks they're cute, but gently caress geese.

This is so true. I used to walk my dog at a park with a big lake. Then some geese showed up and they try to chase me and my dog anytime we are there. Fuckin jerks. cant even hunt them around here even though there almost at pidgeon level of bullshit.

You mean this Shitbox right



:flashfap: that's a Cummins in an old Studebaker???? Or my phone has horrible display. But the set up of the intake and where the turbo is make a me think 12v Cummins. This is a high level of edging for me if I can't see more pics.

Edit: further oggling of the picture leads me to think old Ford body on dodge frame.

As long as they patch up the hole in the firewall he should be fine.

Also was wondering, does it have a functional heater?

I feel like fixing one leads to the other being needed. Keep the Windows open and buy a pack of earplugs. Or true war boy that poo poo and ride with your ears free to embrace the ebb and flow of your people's war song.

Drugs are good and when you do em people think that you're cool. :colbert:

Hallucinogens and herbs are cool. Drugs have taken to many friends from me. Never had a bad mushroom trip. Once laid underneath train tracks for a whole mushroom trip. The one time I did salvia my bedroom split apart and was just static in the void. Only did acid once and it was just colors and fun. Then an ex gave me a hand job and that was an odd experience while tripping.

14 " Valhalla is within sight. Keep up the good work.

All this engine swap talk and no rotary? I mean that engine bay looks long enough for a four rotor motor to go in there. Then you have room for turbos and booost.

Lol if you're a women yeah. I still have my hair (thank god) and all I do is wash it and comb it, done. Super difficult maintenance :v:

Glad I'm not the only one thinking that. I've had a Mohawk since the sixth grade. Still do. Just keep it short for a more "professional". Look . Being a skilled mechanic means my looks dont matter. Short hair is the best. Wash it maybe comb it and ready to go.
