so tell us jacob, why have you asked me if you could borrow this exact truck? and i know you didnt need it to tow or carry anything

For this reason:

update!

not much of an update actually

got a coupe of little things done that might be worth posting up.

so the motor is out yet again took out the nasty heavy D24 and thought it would be a good idea to "clean up" the engine bay a little more but not the whole way.

got a updated steering rack and spent about a day cleaning it by hand


did my research and asked a few questions before i tackled the hydrolic clutch conversion


first i had to modify the pedal because it is close to impossible to find a 264 clutch pedal






switched the clutch forks, heres the hydrolic one installed



Then since im using the 740 master cylinder which dosnt have a reservoir i had to make my own. I took the rear brake fluid reservoir off a motorcycle and mounted it to the firewall brace, worked out good in my opinion


another shot of the tranny with the yoshifab T5 cross member


ready to go in!!!




It got dark before i finished so i coulndt get a shot of the tranny all mounted up with driveshaft and everything, i'll post it up a little later

yeah its about the best spot i could find for it, it sits away from all moving parts and away from the hot exhaust. I was supposed to do a better job on the bracket that hold it but baaaa im whatevs on it now

update!

the original motor got scrapped! it was built at the beginning of this project with budget in mind and the block was not a squirter. This clearly is not the case anymore, We now have a 1993 240 block ohh yeah baby, this one squirts!!!

the plan is the following

1993 B230F squirter block

Bored, honed and decked
RSI pistons
RSI rods
Penta Crank
porte and polished 16 valve head
Penta Cams
bigger valves
solid lifters
nuke cam gears
upgraded valve springs


might be missing something but for now thats the plan. If anybody got better ideas of any suggestions please feel free to post up

machine shop

the block and head are visiting the machine shop next week, i got a penta crank and sourced the penta cams as well.

any suggestions on what to do at the machine shop before i send it there, i also gotta give the guys at RSI a call to look into pistons and rods

Just curious, why are you going to solid lifters?

Adios 76'
