Swampy go fast

I want to vomit. I just sent a piece of metal into my new $200 radiator.....
 
Idk....I'm taking it to 321 radiator. He said he could fix it but we'll see. I'm also going to get the flex hose and tube to put it in the rear.....Winch is going where the rad was
 
Might be.....I'm amost there....but so far away. I got to drive mine for about 5 minutes....It was the equililant of "getting the tip wet" and then that was it

Click to expand...

I think that wheeling balls are actually worse...but we'll just roll with that.
 
I got my i got the PS pump bracket straightened out today....I should have the radiator back tomorrow. I'm going to drink some beers.
 
Radiator is fixed and I have my add a leafs.....Maybe I can do some burnouts in the rain tonight.
 
I built my springs tonight and got the drivers side back on. I added a spring from the old pack and an add a leaf. It looks like it's about 2 and ahalf inches of lif. I'd say that the springs will settle a little over time.
The pass side center pin was broken and I can't get it out of the housing. I'm gonna have to take the welder outside and weld a bolt to it.
The center pin on the drivers side was bent and almost broken.
 
springs are back on the front now. I got 4.5 inches of lift by adding the two springs.....I'd say it will be about 2 inches of lift after the springs settle. I'm going to put the rad back in and mount the fuel cell in the morning. Then I shall test it again...Then to Mech Will for a look over.
 
I've done some corectives.....I'm going to go for test round 2 here in a little while.
 
I finally got the truck loaded on Unbreakable's trailer tonight. I've done all I can do and I'm taking it to someone else to be fixed.

I really love my winch.
 
Glad you didnt break that trailer too.

also....Kennith tested my propane set up and it worked fine.
 
I droped the truck off with a buddy of mine today.....We replaced the fuel pump, messed with the carb and it runs decent but he is going to dial the timming in a rebuild the carb....and fix whatever other problems that he comes accross. Maybe piston rings:shaking:
 
It's still in the shop....I'm going to check on it when I get out of class.
 
whats up Jeff. This is Dustin Bumgarner from Fowlers. def. sounds like a fuel issue to me as any high comp. race engine is going to love fuel. Im not the best with carbs but you are probably going to have to run fuel instead of propane on that motor to keep from leaning it out. would love to just come by and see your ride some day if u dont care. Im currently trying to get my 88 yota sas and caged soon. call me if you ever have any ?s or just need a extra hand on something.(850-4290) After all work is like 45 seconds away from your house. Nice build so far!
 
Will do man....I had thought about putting in a stock SBC with propane just to get away from the carb but I'd rather shoot myself in the face than pull the motor out again. According to the mech....The high torque starter that I bought off ebay isn't really high torque and the teeth are riding on the edge of the flexplate (barely seating in the teeth). I counted the teeth on the flexplate(168) and I bought the starter for a 168tooth flexplate. Something isn't quite right.

That is all I have to report on today....I will be messing with the blazer tomorrow.
 
I seem to have a staggered vs straight starter issue....I need the one I don't have. :poop: on a 22R
