2f status (1 Viewer)

[johnny]

hey folks been a while since i needed anything. here's what i am after. i've run my 2f since i was 16, now 23. put 145k miles on it after a rebuild at about 80k. (a crapy rebuild where the rings were oversized) thathow i got it, wouldn't have done it myself. i cant do a compression test cuz i am lazy, and don't care to just yet.

i want to know., as i have only driven v8 conversions, how my 2f should feel.
i drove an f, and my was slighty more powerful, but i have headers, weber 38/38, D.U.I dist., three over on the cylinders, and no emissions.

the engine power tappers off at about 2200rpms. i assumes this is abnormal. can cruz on highway at 70-75mph, but find it slows down on hills about 1000rpms. on a typical uphill its rather slow. i would like to lay a scratch on the cement but find it dubiously hard. 32x11.5's.

can someone do anything with this, other than make fun of it. i know not how a strong 2f feels.

Must not have been to bad of a rebuild to run 65k miles. I would suggest you do a compression check and stop trying to make a scratch on the payment. It is not a mustang brother.

Sounds right on to me. But you'd have to describe the "power dropoff" above 2200 RPM a little better. THat is above the max torque output of the motor, so that might be what you are feeling.

Some folks should not be allowed to own a 2f

Laying rubber with a Land Cruiser should be considered grounds for immediate confiscation of said abused vehicle

Contemplating doing so should be punished severely

If you want to lay some rubber you just need to try reverse or lock the hubs with lockers and drive circles in a parking lot

I guess the pictures of the LSLC burnout contest would not be of interest to you then?

post em up.. i'm interested.

i have occasionally found the need to spin my 33's, you see the PO bought all terrains, and i want muddies. gotta accelerate their wear somehow. i have also occasionally found the need to replace the pinion bearings in my rear diff following such a session.

What's your timing set at? With the components you've got on there, the only thing I can think of is that you're running out of advance.

geeze feluhs, i aint racin the thing. i treat the engine nicely, laying a scratch is a form of diagnosis to me. obviously, as i assumed, the inability for the 2f to do so is quite normal. i don't care who you are or what you drive, laying a scratch is always a good laugh.

timing, couldn't really tell you. (but the DUI does odd things when engine is at idle. once its warmed up i have to turn the motor off then back on for the rpms to sit at 650)
a thought, yes i know, is low high altitude jets on the weber, here at 200f sealevel. (yes i have the other jets but been to lazy to put them in.)

it just seems i've been losing power lately
