Got past April fool's with dignity intact.

Hope all had a Blessed Easter.

80's & rain is in the forecast.

Be safe y'all.

 

Good day David, snow is starting to melt here finally so may soon get back on the project..

 

Hey John. Hope your world thaws to the point of being able to do stuff.

I got bamboo taking over. I got stump holes swallowing my yard.

We got a week of rain scheduled.

And I'll be damn glad when the eclipse insanity is over.

 

Hello David, not sure what everyone is finding so exciting about this eclipse, sun turns off every day around here...lol
Having quite a time trying to find one of them brackets for a Saginaw pump. was going to ask if there is much demand on the intake manifolds on these engines..

 

I like to hog the lowers out to fit 5.0 uppers to make a poor man's GT-40 intake. They go for about $25 each (upper or lower) at our pull-a-part.

Any after-market intake combo for a 5.8 is pretty pricey & the stock lower in a truck has tiny ports.

No 90s' vans handy? We might find one here for you.

 

I may have a lead on one now, time will tell. All the wrecking yards are crushing things up here .I'll keep you posted , if all else fails I still have what came with this motor..

 

Hello David,I have a bracket and pump coming my way..

 

Glad to hear. You will love it. We can send you some rain if you can use it. I got over an inch in 10 minutes.

 

That's great John. Squeal free PS in the works.

Think I may have beach front property when this red/orange monster gets here in a hour or so.

 

I hope to hear it run some day...lol

 

Tell me John, up there do y'all have a cracker commercial of guy tobogganing down a glacier in nuthin' but a speedo on his junk?

Or is that just for the idiots in the lower 48?

 

I'm not sure where it originates from but we get the commercial too, I presume this is the one you are referring to..

 

Yeah that's it. Makes me hurt whenever it's on...

 

I didn't think those crackers were all that good..

 

Hello David, I cleaned up that transmission separator plate and sprayed epoxy on it. That gasket was in shreds. Found a picture you posted in an old thread and was looking on Amazon and wondered if you think this would be good enough to work
