Finally got around to replacing the carpet and jute padding. Did some additional sound deadener also. I doubled it up for heat protection above the catalytic converters as it tends to get toasty. FYI- I ordered the carpet from ACC (Auto Custom Carpets) and sprung for the upgraded "mass...
Yes, lot's of space, although the headers were still a bear. The Sniper is rated at 800 CFM. 4 ea 100lb hr injectors. At 3500+ RPM this thing really starts to pull hard.
I did for a bit and held firm on my price. It did sell though. What a great engine it was. I kept waiting for it to throw a rod but man it would just wind up and go. I remember that we had those in our aircraft tow tractors on the flight line in the Air Force. Great engine!
Oh yeah. It's been thorough a bunch! I forgot I had posted about it. 440 .060 over, 10.5/1 compression, steel crank, Mopar cam, Holley Sniper EFI and Hyperspark ignition, 727 Auto with Gear Vendor overdrive. Installed a 67-72 GM truck EFI fuel tank from Holley and hid the filler behind the...
Richard, did you do your floor yet? Mine is "quartz" polyaspartic coating, I installed it when I bought a house in Feb. I love it. It was like 80 grit sandpaper at first but eventually the chips lay down/wear down a bit. I would agree though, with the pattern, any small dropped parts are a...
A friend of mine got one out there a few years ago, literally on the last hour of daylight on his last day. He said it was quite a challenging hunt.
Have a great time! Kofa is amazing!!!
A few random pics from a bucket list trip to Scotland and the Isle of Man. I got to ride about 1500 miles of amazing backroads in Scotland and England and of course the amazing Isle of Man. The British Red Arrows aerial demo team made an appearance over Douglas Bay, the ferry to get our bikes...
Sorry for not responding sooner @twalker9480 , I've been out of pocket the last couple of days. @OffRoadScott had first dibs but it's up to you guys. I'm tentative on whether I can get to the meeting on Friday but I'll try. I will bring the console and you two can fight over it, or rock paper...
This Aussie spec FJ45 belongs to a friend. Needs a little freshening up but it's a solid truck. I really wanted to purchase it but I'm in the middle of buying a house and they need it gone...
Two days before driving my 80 to Moab for Christmas, my PS pump decided it would be a good time to go out so I figured it was time to do a steering gear box rebuild too. Thanks @peacesells63 for supplying the kit. All new seals and the 105 Series sector shaft/pitman arm upgrade. I made an...
Second time I've done a Moab Xmas trip and it was awesome! I have lucked out both times with dry weather and 40⁰ high temps. No crowds and if you don't mind chilly weather, it makes for some great wheeling and hiking.
