-double roller timing chain
-comp springs and retainers
-D0VE heads with a port clean up and good valve job
-magnum rockers
-stock crank and rods with arp bolts
-balanced
-edlebrock performer intake
-770 holley truck avenger carb
connected to a t18 4 speed and np205 transfercase

and finished the wiring for the motor.

as she sits right now


Just getting an understanding on what to do for pulleys from you guys! big thanks! so going to try and tackle that, and then figure out my steering
i hear theres alot of issues with running a crossover with that huge crossmember that hangs down.
thanks for your time guys!
hope you like
any tips ticks ideas complaints please let me know!!

 

Lookin good. Is the front diff open with stock 30 spline stub shafts still? Do you plan on running crossover? Is it strictly for straight lines in the mud or are you wheeling trails and rocks as well?

Post a pic up of the traction bar

 

Very nice ride! I'm thinking about putting a 460 in my truck too one day, can't wait to see how it goes!

 

well mud drags are a forsure, but im going to try and keep up with my yota
buddies, haha (tree smashing) but yeah open 30 spine for now, would like to do the 35 spine swap and a detroit up front, gunna run 63'' chevies in the rear. so it will have lots of flex and running rear f350 leafs bewards in the front the push my axle 2'' forward.
ill grab a photo tomorrow of the track bar

 

yeah man its hard its ups and downs but i cant wait to see it run!
been sitting since boxing day when i blew up the original 400m

 

Might need a exo cage to save some sheet metal. I'm more than half done mind that'll be done this weekend. As for that carb hopefully it works good for you. My 428 cj I had one, worked great offroad but at high rpm slamming throttle it had a major flat spot. Messed with it a bunch but eventually Holley tech recommended a 670 TA and it solved my issues. Reason was he said my motor didn't have enough engine velocity( too small I guess) to pick up check ball in metering block. Hopefully yours is ok. Also it comes with a 2.5 powervalve so you may want to run a idle vacuum test and see if you could use a 6.5 ish as its pretty low.

 

Ohh don't say that! I have a 351M in mine and can't afford a blow up! she's a little beefed up but i'd prefer the sweet torque of the 460 to keep those wheels turning, good luck in the pits!
