Its the ****ty old cats haha. My new exhaust (from Rusty) goes on tomorrow. 3" diameter, magna flow muffler (IIRC), and both cats are inside the frame instead of one being routed underneath the frame waiting to get crushed.
Please post up a vid after you get that all installed. I would like to redo my exhaust soon and re-route under the frame too.
 
dropped the 12V motor from the blower/fan and cleaned out the cage, ducts, and behind the heater core. 15 minute job to clear the leaves, acorns, and debris. Smooth and quiet operation now.

What size...?
 
Got the Ranger after ordering it. Original shipping was Aug 7, but they shipped on Jul 25, got here Jul 29 - wow.

So tomorrow has had its schedule reshuffled:

Mounting Ranger to tranny and bell housing

Bought a 1 ton hoist to lift motor out of my 'man cave' where I did the final assemble so I can mount a smaller engine stand. This will allow me to put in the brass freeze plugs in the rear, and mount flywheel, pilot bearing, clutch plate and clutch pressure plate.

Now to get it out to the drive way without tipping over, to haul it to the Cruiser Barn, where it will mate with the Ranger, tranny and TC - getting close, man, getting close

This man cave is in the rear of the property, and un-smooth concrete from the cave and stone steps out to the front driveway, with narrow passage - mmm, plywood?

Hoist using 2 - 4x4s pushed onto ceiling by 2 - 30,000 lb house jacks, one on each end. I think they will hold.

I think that any interior room of a house with a 5.7 l Chevy engine being rebuilt, AND more than one reloading press, should be in the dictionary under the definition of "man cave"
