i have pictures but no time to post right now.
front end is gone, and everything is pretty much off the motor, intake exhaust manifold is sitting there due to the fact that the collector bolts are rusted like they always are. alt, crank pulley, fan/pulley, tensioner all gone, water pump and power steering have to come out once the motor is in the back of ryans truck, do to where u have to hock up the chain to pull it. we are pulling both motor and tranny. so far all we have to do is motor mounts, tranny cross member, drive line, and out she comes. worked on it 4:45am - 11:30am. monday she will be out.
mods im going to make at this point that i of is the oil filter re locater bumps it up to a ford oil filter twice the size and really easy to get to, e-fan. and thats all i know as far as mods. i might buy a set of sts under pulleys they give a proven 3-4mpg gain for $160 i think its worth it!
buying new water pump, what ever gaskets, fluids.
anyways gotta get up at 9pm work 11pm-4am then go out to grandma and grandpa's cut down more trees n shit. ryans and i are gonna pull our vette out n load the cherry picker into his truck and take it to his house.
and we shot a bolt 75ft, would have kept going but it hit a house about 15ft up the waller haha. we used a bolt in the power steering line to plug it then used the hose clamp to hold it there. well we forgot we had to steer the truck still..... so when i turned the wheel the line stood up about a foot and BAM! like a cannon goes the bolt spray the fluid all over the front end of my truck and all over his truck haha. was funny shit. chipped the paint on his neighbors house where we think it hit haha. lesson learned on that one.
goodnight!
