Builds Meet Steve

[wngrog]

Snipers.

Most all time it’s an input.

With a fresh build I’d check the fuel filter first.

 

[Pigeaten]

Thanks

 

[wngrog]

Thanks

I’ve done a bunch of them if your guy wants to call me

601-862-3491

Pulsating PS. Just ain’t been bled right.

 

[Pigeaten]

Thanks Nolen, will connect with him

 

[Pigeaten]

A work in progress, happy with work done, the Devil is in the details

I used this method for my box. It worked very well.

Thanks @wngrog had a quick tech support chat with @FJ60Cam last night. He suggested a bit more timing then adjust the IAC. All good now. This thing pulls hard.

Steering issue was a bad 60 rebuilt box that was on it when I got it. I had bled it properly to ensure it wasn't air in the line before I drove it. Don reported the same issue before he brought me the truck. I didn't have the right bolt pattern 60 box in stock, but had a freshly rebuilt 80 box, so an upgrade for Steve. Steering is on point now. Going to add a cooler since it doesn't have one.

I don't want to put the hood back on since @FJ60Cam 's engine is such a work of art. Pretty sure it will make it on sometime before @Pigeaten picks it up.

I just need registration stickers so I can venture out further than my neck of the woods to put some miles on it.

Awesome. Did not realize it was you doing the install. Nice work as always.

@samc2447 , Steve is looking very good. But when you get a chance, would you be able to expand on the work done here? as I don’t recall seeing any posts pertaining to it.

 

[Pigeaten]

[Pigeaten]

[Pigeaten]

PP commited

 

[scrapdaddy]

Like my Mother always told me, take along a couple of dimes in case you need to call for help.

 

[Pigeaten]

A dime, remember when you would stop and pick one up

 

[Pigeaten]

Now your afraid of throwing your back out

 

[55guy]

I have no doubt you will make it home safe , But you might ask the engine builder about changing the engine oil some where on the way home ? (500 miles or so ? ) Might also need a engine oil additive ? Be safe , We look forward to seeing it

 

[Pigeaten]

Oil change before I head back

 

[Pigeaten]

me and Steve, for a 30 reunion
