Alright boys opinions and info needed..I want to build my 77 LTD II into a solid street performer, not a barn burner, but something i can run down the strip and not get laughed at...Heres what im thinking..
Headers
Edelbrock intake/Edelbrock 650 carb
Mild cam
GT40 heads
Early timing set
and...
Thats what i thought...Im no diesel mechanic, but they said something about a splined shaft on the bottom of the pump that the splines were stripped off?? Allowing it to catch sometimes, othertimes not??
Honestly, theres no point in it. The 70s frame, suspension, and axles are stouter then any 90s or even early 00 s 1/2 ton.Youd be better off just swapping a live axle in front and getting a trans/tcase for yours.
I helped my dad put a radiator in his 01 town and country, holy shit, we had to litrally pull the whole damn front end off.By some christ like miracle though the rest of the van has stayed glued togther after 240k hard miles hauling heavy $$$ music/carpet cleaning equipment down rutted dirt roads.
I keep reading/hearing the the newer 460s are known for plugs seizing in the head, breaking off, then causing all kinds of issues. How common is this? Or is it like any engine where they dont get changed then get stuck.Just wondering what i may be in for first tune up time...
Ok, the semi i drive at work is having issues no one (not even a dealer) can figure out...Its got a M11 CumminsIt will run like hell for bout 15 minutes, then slowly begin to lose RPMs at wide open throttle, untill finally it wont tach over 1100 then it stalls.New injectors, TPS and ECM...
The 97 i just bought has the bench seat in the back, does the $$$ part of the seat fold up? And if it does how so? This is my first club cab truck, seems like my uncles 94 did, thats why im asking...
Turned my heat on and get steam outta the vents, any tricks on how to get this done on a AC equipped truck?Also, how do i know if its a high output heater or regular?
The 300 is a tough mofo for sure, but over the years even a stone hammer will wear out.Sustained high rpms from low gears and or high speed seem to be their enemy.
