Ooh darn I would definitely have taken you up on that. I was scouring junkyards before just getting a new one from Dorman. They say nothing pulls air like the OEM ones but so far these seem pretty...

Check out this impetus for roaming around my property looking for things to sell to try and afford some nice Eddy heads for my poor suffocating 409! Blue is best run from July 2023. Red is from March...

https://imgur.com/ifDqJ5jhttps://imgur.com/ifDqJ5jSo for the clunking noise while offroading, turns out the transfer case I have (BorgWarner 1339) uses a drive chain for all modes: 2WD hi/low, 4WD...

So for some context, that ridiculous fuel scoop was fabbed up (by A1gemmel) while I was installing my headers. I have a little fluid cooler (looks like an auxiliary oil cooler) that I had to tuck up...

I'm not really a Toyota guy (see the name) but that rig is SICK.

The eagle-eyed viewer may have noticed other happenings in the engine bay from the rad photos, that's the mo powa shenanigan. I'll be writing that up later.

Now, the lower coolant temps. This has been bothering me since the rebuild. I've got the 401 overbored 40 thousandths over, its getting real close to the water jackets. It was at about 9.8:1...

Happily, all of the fuel pump overheating occurred on trips where I had my nice Yeti-clone cooler with a bag of ice in it :)

Many of the shenanigan list items have been tackled in my garage but with it still being Spring, I'm not sure if the goals were accomplished. There have been some promising results however, starting...

I had a perfectly running (at least) twice rebuilt '77 AMC 401. Most recently rebuilt by me (because I let a bolt fall into the intake on a test drive...), so I know all the juicy numbers and exactly...

Fun fact, the steel shelves also live on as the cowl on my J10 hood that a1gemmel made for me :D

That was supposed to be included earlier :)

A Mountaineer breaching in the wild...

Thanks for organizing, had a fun day! I'd been wrenching all weekend getting an in-tank pump working so I didn't have to hear an inline pump screaming anymore so it was a nice payoff. Thanks to...

Cafe with Pie and Patio and potential moose sold me. I'm likely to join unless something comes up

You mean you didn't fab up something off the Willy's transfer case to drive a mower blade?

Sounds like a fun day on the trails. I unfortunately will be wrenching tonight and likely tomorrow. Still chasing intermittent check engine light on the old truck and chasing down oil leaks.

Nice, Yankee Hill is definitely what I'd call a "high clearance 4x4" trail. Its an accomplishment for sure

Yes the remainder of that group was airing down. I aired down by the big yellow Yota, but also I spent a good amount of time checking grounds and rerouting new winch cables in case they were causing...

I just missed you guys, I was there at 1:30. Had check engine light issues again after almost a year off. I think my block ground to battery is bad.

Anyway I did pickle gulch out and back. Had to...

Showing for me

Welcome, nice Trooper!

Lomond usually not open until after July 15th, just a heads up.

Nice rig! Thanks for sharing the video

For the record, this award was granted based on them getting him through some insanely difficult *optional* lines! Didn't mean to imply he was belly sliding the whole trail. I didn't know those were...
