Definitely a slow learner. If I’d have just switched over to an LS 15 years ago, I’d be way farther ahead![]()
That's what I'm saying. That old 327 in my 40 spoiled me.

Thicker than a Snicker!I like my bacon thicker. 35x12.50’s will be going back on much to the dismay of the skinny girl, supermodel tires so many of the boys like.
Ah!Thank you @Lifelong40Fan and @bobm , that helps me out.
More “What Did You Do To Your Cruiser Today?” posts, as today I knocked out a couple small things.
The first was the transfer-case twin-stick project which has been a process eliminating what wasn’t working and re-engineering something that would. When I picked up the NV4500/split-case combo, it had a couple pieces of linkage, and what is possibly an Advance Adapters shifter mount which is a piece of 1/4” plate with four mounting holes, a couple of bends, and an interestingly fabricated 5/8” bolt (shaft) with 1/2” x 13 threaded end coming out of the head (opposite of the shaft) and threading into the plate, the threaded end of the 5/8” bolt was turned down to 3/8” x 16 to secure the stick(s) to the bolt (shaft). Anyways, with the twin stick blocks I made installed on this shifter mount, it would flex like crazy when trying to engage/disengage the front output, like to the point I thought it would break something. No matter what I did, I couldn’t make it work correctly.

So I decided to build a new mount, one that wouldn’t flex.
3/8” plate, 5/8” - errr, I mean 16mm bolt, welded to the back, no reduction in thread size.
No flex. Easy shifting. So nice.
Painted and installed.

I even got the oldest kid to help with the sway bar (proud moment of teenage parenting)

Nice work!Well, no dice. #8 cylinder is .002” out of round and the difference between the biggest measurement of the cylinder (3.781”) and the measurement of the piston (3.772”) is .009” - the limit (clearance) is .0028”.
Looks like it’ll be heading to a machine shop.

Yes. Made it easier than having Charlie pick the whole tub, which we could have done, but I’d have turned it into a certifiable rigging experience.Are you suspending the rear w/ the cherry picker?
Exactly thatNice work!
You will feel better knowing than wondering...
And now for something completely spellbinding
