Looking good. Keep us posted. I have to come see it sometime. Just curious how many hours in the project so far?

I wonder if you change transmission fluid back to atf(dexon) from the motor oil that comes in it. It would help the torque convertor disengage faster during a panic stop. Remember that motor oil is use due to less friction modifers. So less slip when trans shifts w/ heavy load. Plus easy of one...

O you got the joints from Erik's

I'm in oxford too off rt10. Duece is still in gettysburg. We'll have to meet up sometime. Pm me sometime

Do you think I need bigger than 3" diameter ones. Don't have truck in front of me. It is still at friend's house 85 miles away. If someone has one laying around and give spec. Maybe able to figure out.

I was wondering if I could use Ballistic joints for dogbone, torque rod end. They are 3" in diameter. I figure they would be strong and last longer then rubber ones. If the 3'' diameter are not big enough I look for bigger ones. What do you think? I need to replace a couple just not trying to do...

I don't know if this would work or not. You maybe able to use tonneau cover snap button at the same level and between the rope grommets to hold top tight. But that would cause you to put a screw it the cab at each button. Or you could try some velcoor in between the grommets. That only means...

hemichallenger is working on something like this. I think he may chime in or pm him.

The torque convertor is bolt to the flex plate the bolts have to unbolt from the flex plate in order for the transmission to come out.DO Not go any farther until you unbolt the torque convertor from the flex plate. If you look between the flexplate and the back of the block you will see the...

I would say they are the same the miltary one look like they put guides on so it was easy to center the belt on the pulley and help it from not jumping off if the belt tensioner start to become weak. The only thing you can check is the diameter of the pulleys and make sure they are the same

I would check the tach drive on the front of the engine. Oil can leak from there. I looked at the members map. Look like ridgerunner,elkhunter, mtmudrunner are the closest to you on the map. good luck.

who's truck is that in the second pic(crew cab 5 ton)? That is bad a**

Check the fuel shut off solenoid on the injection pump make sure it moves the lever it is attached too. If it does not move lever no fuel condition. You can take lever off and zip tie it up and bypass the solenoid. That if they are a2.

I'll be down for the race. Where do you stage before the ceremony. May try to get over there and see the trucks and meet you guys.

Any update and pics of the engine build and the small and big secrets

It may be like a 350 chevy head bolts that go directly in to water jacket. MAKE SURE YOU USE A SEALANT ON THE TREADS OF THE STUDS GOING BACK IN. My 2 cents.
