Welp, it’s been a while since my last post lol. I figured I’d let everyone know the engine is back in the truck and doing great! No blow by so the rings must not be too bad. No loss of oil or coolant and power is good so I’m happy. The long travel is holding up well, I will be starting a thread...

I’m just not trying to get into rings and bearings etc. this engine will only be used until august of next year. Would just like for her to hold up until then.

I’ve decided to clean out the block, install a high volume oil pump and aftermarket screen, new water pump, ordered new heads from Clearwater, ordering all new sealed power lifters and getting the hardened rocker pushrod combo from deltacam. Also throwing on a new clutch, still trying to decide...

I can see factory cross hatching easily on the 5 good cylinders. I can barely see it on the cylinder that had the corrosion on the head. At this point trying to determine if I’m ok with this block. Obviously I’d still pull the pan and get the inside clean and install a new water pump, high...

As for labor, I’m doing the work myself. While the engine is out I’ll be installing the true travel 4.5” long travel kit (will see how it holds up) and upon receipt of the engine I will be reinstalling the engine myself. I more or less lack the time of rebuilding myself, with work I don’t get...

Thinkin I’m just gonna go with a complete reman engine. It has milky oil, wasn’t run too long on it but I’d hate to go through the work of installing new heads to find out the bottom end wasn’t up to par. Considering atk but like I stated earlier, I’m very leery. Anyone have a remanufactured...

How’s it goin everyone. Haven’t posted since doing the roll cage in the xploder but now I’m back with some questions about the same truck. 1998 4.0 ohv with manual trans. Been a good desert truck but during last 4/20 weekend I think I blew a gasket or cracked heads or both. Finally started...

The heat lets the steel “stretch” but I went with a heavy wall, anticipating the bends etc.. and yes I believe you are correct as far as the dies go. A hydraulic bender would be nice but I don’t do much tube work, maybe down the road if I can ever get out of the tower industry and get something...

Yah there a pita for sure. Heat definitely helps! And I use one size smaller die then they have marked. All of there dies seem one size off.

Yah, between the work truck and the Saleen, its pretty easy to spot my place. The sport was actually my first vehicle, decided it needed some attention. Haven’t decided wether to build the long travel myself or go with btf to save myself the headache lol. And idk bout bubblegum, I think it’s...

Thanks. And to be honest, it is. At least in a truck anyways. I’ve built a couple mini sand rail buggy’s and a lot of other things but never a cage in an actual vehicle. I gotta say tho, it was easier and quicker than expected. Took about 3 weeks from start to finish. Really on the fence right...

There will also be an additional “X” above the driver and passenger heads, an additional “V” from the cross bar just behind the driver/passengers head down to the floor crossbar, near the back passengers feet. And another additional “V” from the crossbar just behind the back passengers heads...

Beginning the process of my “prerunner” build on my 1998 sport ohv with the m5od and figured why not start with the cage. For now, it’s a 6 point mount. Mounts to the the floor with 3.5”x5”x1/2” plates that “sandwhich” the body, the bottom/ exterior plates will then be trussed to the frame. Cage...

For now i will just be pulling her. In the future if I decide to make it to where she can drive it I guess it will be wireless steering, like rc but to a steering wheel instead of remote and a big servo lol.

What's up everyone. So I didn't really know where to post this, i figured this category is closest in where I need help. So I've built my daughter a wagon with a double triangulated 4 link suspension (front and rear) with scale coil spring gas charged shocks, scale meaning the dampening and...

They were on the truck when I got it. I thought I remember seeing a company that made em, just can't remember the name

Yah as soon as I get home, hanging 230' off a cell tower at the moment lol

I'm Devon btw

In the top pic, that's the plenums vac connection, you want that to go to your fpr so it sees boost and vaccum, if your going to install a boost guage/etc then you will connect it to the same place (you can see I have a splitter on mine). In the second pic is the vac connection in the intake...

Lol, nice try vroom but I think I'm gonna mount it on the top of the blower.... unless someone wants to start the bidding??? Hahaha jk

Well, she's finally done, got the tank dropped and the pump changed, vac lines routed and hooked up, plug wires cut and made, and alot of other stuff I can't remember. Went threw hell trying to find a 3.5" mandrel bent 90 degree tube to use as intake but I finally found one. Finished the install...

Well I finally got a little more work done on the saleen. Supercharger is on, for real this time :D and the snout support and heater bypass tube are installed. All that is left is coil brackets and plug wiring, vac routing, and fuel pump change out. Finally got in the garage at the new house so...

Well got a few things done today. Relocated the egr solenoid and backpressure transducer. Got the pulley bracket on and mounted which took a lil work, just had to cut some bolts to size, got the elbow mounted to the blower and the stock 90 mounted to the ee elbow. sadly when I sent my woman to...
