Ill start with a funny story.....funny because I only spend $75 dollars on my bald 39.5's....About 2 weeks after my back accident, I was filling up my tires because 2 have slow leaks, well I have a clip on chuck, clipped it on, walked away went and changed out some laundry and my dad asked me something upstairs so I totally forgot about my tires at this point......so were standing on the deck about 50 feet away from the truck and BOOOOOOM!......truck jumps and well.....tires junk.....So from about 10psi to whatever it got to took about 4 minutes....so probibly 150ish PSI if your ever wondering how much a tire can take. This is what pain killers can do, maybe this is why they tell you not to drive or operate heavy machinery on them....Anyways ENJOY a laugh on me!!!
Oh yea so now I'm looking for 1 or 2 39.5x15x15 tsls on the cheap.....the other 3 are bald so dont really matter....
or
I have 2 42x15x15 TSL's that I got pretty cheap....that I need 2 or 3 more to make a full set...again these are 1/2 tread so cheaper the better as long as they are not destroyed....
Progress............
Got my 1410 np205 yokes thanks to onetoncv on pirate or high angle driveline
This is next to a 1/2 ton 8.8 yoke if I remember correctly...
With my back being weak still and kinda having a 10lb lifting limit I have luckily been able to do some of the engine cleaning up.
Used for aluminum intake porting.
Lower before(Dident take an after picture for some reason)
Upper after port and cleaning and silver paint...I almost painted it black like the lower but changed my mind last minute.....
TB
Injector rail
Injector wiring
Rest of wiring....up to firewall....
Pretty much up to the wiring part. Found good free 19lb injectors, ported upper/lower intakes, cleaned all the years of shit out of them so they should flow pretty good now. From what I've read the lower intake on these truck setups is the choke point so that's been opened up a lot, mostly to match the head porting. Probably wont help much now since I still have stock TB and stock 19lb injectors, but from what I've read with the right tuning 19lbers are good for 310hp. I will never know exact numbers but I just want a good clean running engine.
Next step is to remove the Air conditioning part on the firewall that is going to be really close to my engine, fill that in with a peice of tin or plastic, then on to wiring this pig in...
