309 hours later she’s off with the new owner. He has made it home and is out riding about. Probably 50 or so miles. So far so good

Thanks for sharing the hours bit. Puts into perspective how many years it will take me to make 1 40 look like this when I have 4 I think I can manage....oooofff.

Job well done, and once again, thanks for sharing everything you do.

Gotta ask. What are you using to coat the frame and what paint for the axle/springs? Looks awesome!

I’m a plain ole Rustoleum Gloss Black guy but that’s after I scrub it good and clean

Thank you @wngrog! I learned a lot watching this story unfold. Thanks for taking the time to detail it out for all of us!

Prep is 90% of the paint job

Did you ever get the blinkers working?

 

[wngrog]

Did you ever get the blinkers working?

Nope. It’s coming back here for a Dakota digital and I’ll sort it out.

I have had issues in the past with different turn signal stalks having different wiring. I recall having to move a couple pins around to get them to function properly. Should be an easy fix.

I think that’s it.

Maybe I should have just not looked under here.

Holy s***.

An F1.5 is a great motor but it does not work very well with an F head without an oil galley. The oiler was just dangling in here. View attachment 2827515

PSA……if it does not have an oil galley plug it’s a F head. I did not put 2+2 together until I popped that last piece off to take to powder.

This is why you don’t let non Land Cruiser people build Land Cruiser motors

I recently opened up my cover and this post had me thinking of my configuration. I have a 03/73 which is an F engine, but looking at the head, it looks a little different. It looks like I should have an oil galley plug but it doesn't seem to be there, unless someone welded it shut and ground it flat down and painted over it.

Your oiler wasn't connected, but was that because it was an F block? Did earlier blocks not have an oiler?

If you have an F head the oil comes up via a tube through the head into the rocker.

Ahh, OK. Although it looks like my head is ready to be drilled for that oil galley I guess, but I do have the tube. Where yours did not have that notch.

So your rockers never got oil? .

 

[wngrog]

The brainiac builder put a oil tube from header side of block up and into valve cover to the rocker oiler.

At some Pooh that tube broke off the rocker so the oil going in was just pulsing out of a broken tube in the center of the rockers
