I can't think of anything better to do

Moving this weekend, but would if I could. You have fun, I am sure you will have plenty of people there to help (ie drink all night and not actually do any work) ;D

and then do the motor swap all alone on Saturday!!!!! lol

 

[BamaTJ]

Exactly, that is how it always works. It is almost impossible to work at P's when a big group is there!!! The best work is done solo or with 1 other there.

Saturday Im spending with the girls.

Heck man there was a BIG group there this past Saturday and we repaired the sheep and made James Dollar a rear driveshaft !!

I hope one has engine failure, the pilot ejects and the plane crashes into you...

Wrong motor, sitting out doors, no intake on it, head full of water and leafs, intake sitting in the bed of another truck completely full of crap...


Still need a motor

Weres a place in Bham that does Crankkits or what not ?? Ill probably pull the pan and see what i have in this one to work with ( since Im fired up to work on it Friday ) Say I get it diagnosed as a spun rod or main bearing, Ill be lookin at a bottom end rebuild. ( Use to have all this stuff hooked up in Ks but havent done any engine work since I moved here )

Its a later model with distributor less ignition... I dont know the interchangability in all that stuff either

 

[CheapJ7]

We need to figure out what i have and what you need. We could def, do some dealing if it will help you out

Birmingham Piston for engine parts

thanks..

Hope to have "what it needs" figured out tommorow, Im taking it by Hesco for an evaluation from John. I figured he would know ALOT more than I would and maybe it will give me some direction.


I did send an email to a guy that posted a 4.0 for sale CHEAP as well.... Im not out of options, just tryin to decide on the best method. 8)
