Builds My BJ R 60 !! resurrected, almost

[pistonpete]

Hey Snow, yeah i know. It seems to take a back seat to all my other projects, which i have to many of.

I was checking your pics last night, pretty cool ride there with the family,i was drooling when i saw some snow!!

The 40 is taking pretty much all my time now which is limited cause i started work and am out of town but only four hours away so i get to put a few hours in on her on sundays.

Got some new stuff coming too! Which seems to change my plans on the 60 all the time.
Traded a street bike i had with a dude for an old 40,w' a full float, a bj60 and a fj62..YeeHaw! More parts..

Still thinking on my engine option???

WORK SUCKS!! I understand, Marley hasn't seen much love lately either. Need more cruiser time for sure. Good trade on the bike for 40 Pete.

B'n waiting along time for this one !!

Man, finally some time and an offer from a good friend to put this thing in !! Gettin it out and ready for the girl. Took me awhile to make up my mind on this one, it's gonna be my biggest job yet.

But with the help of fellow mudders i think its gonna be a blast !!!

 

[pistonpete]

[pistonpete]

Anybody know if i have to take the oil pan off to squeeze it out ??

Man that's a TALL engine !

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Love the shop Pete, cool fan too. Can't wait to see the Cummins progress.

J

 

[pistonpete]

GEEZ! Progress is gonna be slow,i cant even figure how to get the engine out without taking it apart.
Wedged in there pretty good too, valve cover and oil pan are in the way....

 

[pistonpete]

YAH MAN !!!
A few brews last night and some Bob Marley this morning and BAM !!

Shes out... Yeah Haw

But,Wait... man that thing is BIG !
Frame looks a bit small for that torque ???

 

[srogers]

All I can say is fantastic!

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Pete, a little Marley makes everything alright...

I really need to get to buying the Limestone property so we can get together for some fun FAB and wheeling from time to time!

The wife being from NY, has given the stamp of approval for the purchase... Just need to find some work in that area for a lowly inspector....

Keep up the great work Pete.

plan to use a nv4500 or auto?

Hey Jim, Man i'm not sure anymore ?? Would like to stay away from Dodge trans.. But it will be an auto as i want to use this cruiser as my highway truck.
A good friend just offered me an Allison trans from a 2004 Duramax ( New one too ) so i'm trying to find info on that ????

How is your'e 40 ??

 

[pistonpete]

Well, Dodge tranny it is, for now anyways. Just have to figure out if i keep the tail end and go the divorced T case or change up the tail and bolt a case to it to get a bit shorter on it.

So, the teardown begins, man i am not crazy of doing work over, but hey; Plans change.....

 

[pistonpete]

Well, got a bit more done today..

Since i was at it, i thought i would see how a 3B looked like compared to a 6BT...
