Damn! You weren't kidding, you have been busy with this thing! I know you've said you have a few of these cars, but are any of them 3 pedal cars? I still think this one should be a drag and drive car!! And of course, when you're tired of the ol 318 I think it should get an LS with a turbo...
Thanks!! I'm glad the videos were a success! I hope they help inspire someone else to do a drag week someday too. Watching other people's videos is what made me want to try it!
Thanks!! Definitely learned a TON and gained so much experience being thrown in the fire. Here's a pic of the list with the average 1/4 times and 1/4 speeds. I never asked them what their trans were. The 66 mustang had a Dart block with twin turbos. I know that much. I THINK he told me it was a...
Little update! Got to race the car in the Midwest Drag Week last week!! What a great time and a fun week!! I started a youtube channel for anyone who wants to watch the week of adventures! They're all pretty short videos so they're fun to watch! It was my first drag and drive event and only my...
Not sure! I had put out good numbers before. The last time the goal really was to fix some drivability issues which we did. So I may not! I'm a little scared too honestly since it killed the engine last time lmao.
Finally got the car back together and out of the garage Sunday! She runs!! And it has great oil pressure! The tolerances are opened up to the .0025 that they should be and still have about 50psi at hot idle with 10-30. Drove the car to work today as its first test drive after bleeding the clutch...
More to report. I thought it was detonation originally that killed this thing. However, the rod bearings looked perfect, and the piston and rings had 0 signs of detonation. After talking with a very knowledgeable friend (@TT5.9mag) and the machine shop who did the new work we decided that the...
Got to pull the bottom end apart Sunday! Drained the oil and ran it through a paint strainer. Nothing. Cut the filter open and nothing until I really spread the element open and deep in the V I found some material. I also checked the oil pump release to make sure that wasnt stuck open.
First I...
Finally got to work on the car Sunday for a bit! I'm curious to pull the engine apart and see what I find! I think I'm gone this weekend though, so not sure when I'll get to crack it open!
Welp, finally got the YJ/CJ build together to the point I'm waiting to be able to paint the tub this winter, so the jeep got swapped out for the duster! Time to yank the engine back out and see what's going on!
Getting the duster on the trailer with slippery snow tires was fun! lol but...
You're right, which is interesting that he says that in the description. In this video he said the new cam will be better all around except way up top.
Hmmmmm
