We need more hardcore action.

 

[wngrog]

Not the hardcore section. Yuck

I am leaning towards putting the build in this section as it will be mostly stock parts. Only the body will be heavily modified.

I got the clutch line and the front brake line finished. I also made and installed these silly charcoal canister lines and fuel separator doo dad. All hidden under these covers.

What size lines did you use for your brake and fuel hard lines? Love the color!

You have come full circle .

And I agree, not the hardcore section for a @JackA build.

The fuel lines are 5/16ths and the brake lines I bought in a kit. They are 3/16ths.

Looking forward to the truck build. From what you had shared, it looks to be a very cool build.

How did the weld repair turn out?

 

[JackA]

Unfortunately, it just cracked next to the weld. So no good.

I am gonna try some epoxy. If that don't work, I may just swap in my spare 2F I was saving for my truck build. Then upgrade to a V8 for that.

 

[mrboatman]

I have a good f engine just needs 2 new pistons but still ran great. If you're interested in using it for a block swap. Just come get it.

 

[JackA]

Thanks but I actually have 3 more rebuildable F engines in the stash.

The plan as of now is too epoxy / bandaid the current setup. This way it moves and drives. Prep the 2F and then swap it in sometime later. Then go V8 for the truck build. I wanna peel out.

Here's the JB weld patch. Got the rest of the stuff back together. I will fill it with water and drive it on Sunday. Tomorrow I am going wheeling in the luxury boat.....I mean LX.

 

[JackA]

Got home early from wheeling today due to blowing up a front inner cv joint on the LX. Luckily, I have converted it to part time, so I have unlocking hubs. Was able to get home with no issues.

Added water to the 40......still leaks alittle. I will add some kind of stop leak and take it for a drive tomorrow.

Installed some leds in the gauge cluster. So much nicer.

 

[JackA]

Went for a cruise today. Good news is the leak is very small if not stopped. I plan to flush out the coolant and cocktail of stop leak and refill.
At least I can drive it now. It will be at Good Guys car show in a few weeks.

 

[middlecalf]

Dang that looks nice.

I like your confidence, it’s motivating!

 

[JackA]

Been driving the 40 as the weather is perfect. Leak is almost non existent.

Rearranged some motors today. Here's my trio of defunct F engines. I have the heads and other parts stashed inside.
Got the 2F on the stand and started to tinker with it. First off was the Rochester 2 barrel held on with a Man a Free adapter.
