I know I should be calling this thing "project cinder blocks" but she's back!

I think we left off somewhere around here


well no more cinder blocks. I have my drivetrain in except for the final mount for the rear t-case and the driveshafts. 460,c-6,np205,np205,5-ton rockwell!


I made my jackshaft (shaft between the 1st and 2nd t-cases) I'm not sure how it's going to hold up, but we'll see.



PICS ARE NOW ON PAGE 3

wicked_sludge: It's the angle of the pic. the ears are perfectly inline and the shafts on the t-cases are parallel from the side and straight from the top.

parkinglot: its a 77 f-150 with 12" ch**y springs

they're predator carbs and they work pretty well, almost like a mechanical fuel injection. I'm going to try to get everything buttoned up today and break-in the cam. Good thing I don't have neighbors:icon_hornsup:
