    Stolen Squarebodies to be on the look out for.

    Really glad to hear you got your pickup back dude! You should have kept the handgun though, as long as it does not come back stolen. Maybe you could have used it to shoot the next shithead that tries to steal your truck :happy107: I loaned my geo metro I drove in high school to a couple punk...

    83 6.2 diesel mpg and practicality

    You should be able to get more out of your 305, I managed to get 17mpg at one point with my 305 running a carter afb. That was in a K1500 with a 4 speed and 3.08 rear end. 6.2 is a good engine, I was going to swap one in my 85 a few years ago. They do have about the same power as a 305 and...

    this is so cool

    Cool truck, cool swap and if I had cows to feed that bed would be awesome but I cant get into the diesel thing. I listen to rattly idling diesel engines and turbos spooling over 12 hours a day.

    those are them, are they the same between big block and small block? Sent from my ADR8995 using Tapatalk 2

    Pushrod length madness

    Keep your eyes peeled for a Gen VI block, that will put you way ahead of the game. Look for anything Dave Vizard published about the big block, the one you need is about making big horsepower with a big block. Thats the one I have. If these pushrods do the trick my next update should be a...

    Pushrod length madness

    I checked the length on cylinder 1 intake and exhaust using the sold dummy lifter I made with epoxy. I added the .050 to what I measured for the lash in the lifter, they are actually a tiny bit longer. As soon as I have the new custom pushrods I am going to pump up the oil pressure and crank the...

    Pushrod length madness

    Talking pushrod length, they are way off in length. You brought something up I forgot to consider, heads did get milled at at one point the block has been milled and that combined equals some turns on the pushrod checkers. Throw into that mix the fact I switched to stud type adjustable rocker...

    The hard rock claims sound interesting, I know a good geologist if you need one. You are not missing much by never seeing Safford, really not much at all. I am not actually in safford, I am nearby in Morenci. I dont fish but alot of people I know do and there is fishing around here, not...

    Pushrod length madness

    The boxes showed up and the pushrods are wrong, I never even tried. 3/8's is way fatter than my guide plates will allow, the lengths seem off comparing them to my checkers so I am going to try and mail them back and order custom ones. I was told to check it with my dummy lifter I made, I was...

    Pushrod length madness

    Gen VI big block with the regular Gen V heads, its got a aftermarket cam with .510 lift. I have already converted it to adjustable rocker studs, for the rockers I went with summit brand (exact same as scorpion rockers) aluminum roller tip rockers that are 1.7 ratio. Lifters are comp cams 900...

    Road trip

    I forgot to ask, where are the pictures of the drag car? Thats what I really want to see. Fun fact about Tonopah you probably did not know, there is no air compressors in that town so if you get a flat you are completely screwed. I know this because I was trying to get my Mustang to New...

    Road trip

    I was just looking at my summit racing parts tracker and it looks like my boxes from mentioned store in Sparks departed Tonopah this morning. My parts might be passing this guy in a ups truck in the opposite direction.

    Road trip

    I have made that trip several times in the past couple years. I dont think these guys understand the ammo cash Hawthorne has, maybe you could snap a picture of that insane shit going the other way. All I remember about that place is the view of thousands of bunker type buildings scattered all...

    Prolly gonna sound a like a newb, but...

    TBI will give you all the air and fuel you need. There is a big difference in buying parts for strictly speed and buying cool parts for a street vehicle. A carb will give you more flow but the benifits of efi outweigh that bigtime. That crate motor has a ton of shit you really dont need, you...

    Prolly gonna sound a like a newb, but...

    Fun fact about the big block that came out of my SS, from the factory its a spreadbore cast iron intake with a factory adapter. Same manifold that you would mount a quadrajet too. You can get the best of both worlds, intake manifolds strictly for tbi kinda suck. You can choose a good intake...

    Prolly gonna sound a like a newb, but...

    Make it really easy and just keep the TBI stuff, as a matter of fact I have a steel adapter plate I will mail you. TBI is good stuff for a daily driver, keep all that stuff in tact and run an adapter plate on the carb style intake of your choice. As for the rest of the swap, its really...

    1977 C10 not getting fuel

    Get it running, shut it off and take the fuel line loose. If the fuel line seems to be under pressure and sprays gasoline everywhere the carburetor could be plugged up full of shit. The shit I am talking about is rotted rubber hose particles, it looks like black sand inside the carburetor. I...
