It sounds almost like you have stock springs and someone just put on longer shackles. I imagine if this were the case you could have all sorts of problems.
good idea. some 2x4's, some T1-11 plywood siding panels (not the greatest quality but cheap. Paint it with some "oops" paint from home depot and it will last a fair amount of time, some metal roof panels. You could have a simple structure up...
Looks like you need to frame yourself a small garage...could build it on pressure treated skid so its a floating structure (avoid taxes etc). keep the elements off you and maybe even some heat.
If I were going to put EFI on the 60 it would be the Sniper 2300 which is a 2 barrel design. EFI will make starting easier regardless of outside temperature or altitude or engine temp. You will likely feel the engine performs a little better but...
Those tires are only about 4% smaller than a 33” tire. You might consider swapping the 4.11 diffs in from a 62. It would help you out on the hills and technical terrain.
Consider the 2006+ GM 4200. It’s a 4.2 liter inline 6 with variable valve timing, 24v, makes good power and torque down low in rpm and can be turbocharged to generate a significant amount of power. Would be very similar in size to the 3fe.
Depending on what a machine shop has or hasnt done...a press, a piston ring tool for getting the pistons back in the bores....plasti gage for measuring bearing clearance, a dial indicator and magnetic base for checking runouts on various things...
have you verified that the coolant is actually over temp? Are you boiling over or have you taken some readings with an infrared type heat gun? The stock gages dont have the best track record for accuracy and can suffer grounding issues.
Seats and arm rests with taller center console for ya. These seats delayed so many projects of mine because they are expensive sin, but id 100% do it again. They are so comfortable. My wife even says it was worth it, and she normally couldnt care...
Landed the job at the dream job shop! 🥳🥳🥳Starting out part time per their wishes for now, very excited. Wrenching a 1-2 hours a day for free training as a bonus for my business side stuff I’ll be doing. For this victory alone I’m glad I stuck...
It’s also why I think that a 2007 or newer GM 4200 would make a great swapper for the 60. It’s like a low cost 1FZFE. In stock form they are a decent power and torque for a 60. But they can be turbocharged too for some big gains.
$7k is about on par
For other full on rebuilds of a 2F unfortunately. As in everything done. You really get a feel for why when faced with the decision a lot of people just go to a v8 swap
My advice to someone wanting to go the desmog route… if you don’t have the original Aisin carb find one and rebuild it or seriously consider the sniper route. Either send your dizzy out for a recurve or follow the diy instructions recently...
