I may not be able to fly out and help, but give me any specifics and I'll tear into the catalogs at work for part numbers and such so you can order poo poo in and have it waiting for you when you land.

Yeah this is what I'm really afraid of. Because if the transmission is shot then this is going to turn into a real problem because as I understand it this truck has a closed driveshaft and switching to it anything more modern like past 1959 is going to require strict transitioning to an open driveshaft.

Which of course means having the switchover the drive shaft the rear differential , tires,etc.

According to Danno the transmission seems halfway decent though.


Nothing with less than 10 cylinders will do. :colbert:
E. Gas or Diesel

8.1l vortec. With a blower.

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

Can confirm thats a knock sensor. Its a dead ringer with the ones I yanked out of my avalache's 5.3. You can probably run without it (I did for 2 years), just keep the timing conservative. Also, on the ls based motors, they are threaded into the valley pan. Under the intake manifold. I'm glad I listened and bought both sensors and a new harness to do that job. Also, I'll happily offer to look poo poo up for 14" while at work. I can pull up wiring diagrams easy enough, take pictures and send to him.

This entirely depends on the state in the US. Remember that the US is less one unified country and more like fifty little countries that at best will grudgingly admit that they're part of a larger country - and the further towards the Deep South you get, the less likely that even that much will happen.

No, the south has taken the other way and now screams 'MURICA louder than the rest. If we have to be here with the rest of you, we're at least gonna make you suffer. :v:

I've always been envious of people capable of enjoying hallucinagens. My mental state when I had access to stuff like that was such that I was wary of trying it. Even shrooms were iffy, with about a 50/50 split of good and bad trips. :sigh:

Yeah, my first of only a couple experiences with dxm started with me coming up in line at wendys with everyones heads going full exorcist spinning around to face me while rotting, leading to me hauling rear end across a busy road to the woods between there and my house to curl up in a ball in a dense pack of bushes for three hours because I was convinced cops were after me even after a friend came to check up on me and ended with a walk home at night, convinced that I had somehow got into a horror movie and a lunatic with a knife was going to murder me and said friend. And I was in a great mood when I took the dxm. gently caress that stuff. :v:

That takes you right by my section of swampland, assuming I-75 to hwy 50 instead of 27 to avoid the tolls and stay to slightly more populated areas if the war rig needs to be coaxed into staying running.

Quite frankly, you need to add this to your resume. "I went to the frozen wastes of a nebraska farm field to swap a 350 tbi from a van into a '50s dump truck in sub freezing weather that regularly dropped into the negatives. Oh, and did a tire change on split rims in said field, no cage nor specialized tools to assist me. Then I drove that dump truck 1000+ miles to deliver it to its owner. :radcat:".

14 has already proven capable of adapting to new environments. He'd be fine.

e. Actually, I'd be more worried about the new environment, although I assume that due to humidity, Florida is slightly harder to catch on fire. But enough panther piss would fix that.

Given I've had 2 trucks catch on fire in my driveway, I can say with certainty stuff in florida is perfectly capable of catching on fire.

In all seriousness, an lq4 is probably more than enough power and torque to get that thing moving way faster than sims would ever want to take the truck. Maybe look at something like the holley high ram intake, a bigger aftermarket throttle body to keep it cable operated and a cam that helps it make more torque down low.

My vote is 4bt swap.

Before this derail ends, the mention of three inches of blood brought bloodsimple to mind. As an optional extra, there is some fire from the gods who are a damned good texas band. A bit softer than most of the stuff in this thread, but still excellent.

Dude, you'll be travelling to one of the best spots in the country for shrooms. A variety of species, perfect conditions most of the year, no death angels if you pick solely off cow poo poo and they grow by the fistfull. Picking up pounds at a time isn't that odd.
