Has anyone figured out what they are getting fuel wise with a bobber? Interested in doing one but wondering what the consumption is

Looks like a good plan you have. Want to do a bobbed 2 1/2 or a bobbed 5 ton with a KB. Where in Morris County are you, i'm over in the Butler Kinnelon Area

M16: very good summary on the options for the dump action. mud: depending on material sometimes good sometimes no good. Dry mulch, wood chips, stone all empty great. Topsoil not so much usually have to jump in and convince it. I'm only using it for house hold projects so works good enough for me

Actually no my distance is what the math worked out to be for a 3 ton load. The hoist is rated to 3 tons max and that's what I am able to dump at a roughly 45deg on the bed. The front springs on the deuce are rated for IIRC 6.5k so I did not want/need/pay extra for a hoist that could do 10 tons...

ok now I see where your coming from. I guess that's one thing to worry about, really testing the ram. That must be a nice feature, being able to do full loads and all. Since I did the bobber I wanted fully loaded capacity at the front spring ratings so its a tad over 3 tons and that's when the...

my bobber will do 2 yards of qp or any similar sized stone up to 1.5"rounds, luckily that stuff likes to come out of the truck fairly easily. When I haul 2 yards of topsoil that does not want to budge, with those loads I need to be on level ground so like you mention there is no tweaking of the...

I used a hoist from premium supply and the thing fit with tons of room to spare, put 2x4s as the wood and I have another 5". The pump is under the bead next to the frame rails as well

All loaded up and heading up. Beautiful weather for the weekend

The second set of lights appear to be manufactured by Totron who wholesales to small distributers. I have a few different sets of them and they are great, i just recently set up a vehicle for night scene lighting with 2 42w floods and 1 42w spot on either side of the vehicle and to say they are...

I have take out LDS427 parts from a rebuild if anyone needs any all less the block and turbo and an alternator that requires the detached regulator if anyone is interested

How does one be a displayer? or displayer for the day. Brining my bobber to look around and such on saturday

well you guys arent going to like the news but i ended up stripping it down a few weeks ago, kept all the parts except the block so if anyone needs any 427 parts pm me, kept the crank pistons and every other part less the liners and block as i could not figure out how they are removed and the...

Good Luck im in NW jersey and can give a hand if you get hung up

Ill be going with my bobber to look around at least saturday

i hate reviving a long, very long dead thread but Jatonka, were you able to swap parts from the 427 to the 465? if so what was the success. from what im reading the heads are different and so the injectors will not work? will most of these parts swap over? im away from both motors for a while...

That was my idea except when i figured out it was the 427 and read that people say avoid at all costs

pulled the valve covers, no rust so to speak just paint chipping. it turns freely and has good compression as it needs a cheater bar to rotate. I pulled the coolant runners off the intake and checked them, they have a mineral deposite issuse so may need to flush the engine. but other than that...

The motor spins free and everything I think it's ready to run. I'm just wondering if it's worth cleaning up and over hauling it or is it better for parts. So far it seems the engine is not great so not quite sure what to do

I recently aquired a LDS 427 that was a depot rebuild but sat outside of the crate for a while and looks pretty bad. I was thinking of rebuilding it or taking the parts off it has everything but the turbo and the turbo to intake manifold elbow. Is this engine worth rebulding and putting in a...

yes but no, the centripetal force keeps the media (either fluid or solid, what ever was put in) on the outer most position in the tire, so just behind the tread so to speak. The media that you use has an initial weight but in reference to the center line it is much more. For example i have a 12"...
