The mounts on the cooler are kind of flimsy. I'm going to take some 1/4" round bar, smash the ends, drill holes in it, and use it as a brace behind the cooler to keep the vibrations down.
New GPS showed up.

rollin', in my 5.0
What engine is that?
buick 300
sounds like fun
I hope so, it'll sit in storage for a while before I do anything with it
I don't want to use the 64 buick heads, so I won't be following the same formula as the article above
I went through a bunch of piston cataloges and all of the off the shelf stuff is a compromise in compression ratio or odd overbores
so it looks like custom pistons...
If I use the buick 5.964" rods I need a compression height of 1.3, 25CC dish
If I use the rover 5.66" rods I need a compression height of 1.6, 25CC dish
The long rod would be better, but the 5.66 are way more common if the buick rods turn out to be crap.
Long rods!
cast long vs forged short.
Long rods! More dwell time= more torque.
so the forged rods and 12cc 305 pistons work out to about the stock CR
concerns:
piston is about .090 further below deck height than stock (around .065)
rover pins press in to the connecting rod, I think GM does it differently. may require machining piston
will require reaming connecting rods to bigger diameter
requires .035 overbore from stock, may require resleeving the block
cast pistons vs stock hyperkickasstectic
The new steering worked much better, but not much thought went in to the brackets other than where the holes need to be
This should will weigh half as much and looks a little more refined

who are you having waterjet/laser your parts and bend them?
its plasma cut at a school, I'll let him chime in if he wants it known that he's got a plasma table, if you can't piece it together with context clues in the thread.
Going to bend it on a friends press brake.
Had a machine shop in fort worth do the pulley hub.
You ever use thomas net to send out RFQs?
The cut quality is not a 100%, but that is due to a bolt together table being a pos
so this was first noticed around TCC last year, with lots of help from BMF it was hammered back in place and welded up and made it through a few more outings before buckling, made it through a few runs after that too with lots of rubbing

Cut it off and found it had ripped the weld from the frame.

cut out a patch, snaked it in there with a stud welded to it and blasted it in place, replaced mount with YRM heavy duty mount

Now it drives very different. That preload in the steering hid the alignment problems. Now I can get some readings of a machine and get the swivel balls drilled to correct caster.
York compressor?
Mini York, super compact is what I think its called. 209 displacement like the mid sized bigger one. That arb compressor sucks goat balls.
Designing it to use off the shelf 04 disco serpentine belt and pulleys. Having to remember custom parts years later is no fun
Does the compressor come with a serpentine pulley? If not, I have a link bookmarked on my dead laptop for a serp pulley for a regular York from some medium duty application that's only like $80.
Got an 8 groove. Its 1 more than I need, but the spacing is the same. If that doesn't cut it, custom pulley time.
I would like to do a similar thing on a chevy TBI motor, but make the bracket where the smog pump goes. There is a cholo who makes one for where the A/C compressor goes, but f' that, then you don't have A/C
What do you have that has AC and TBI?

not any more
It'll do time travel speeds now

I will confirm this. Still no smokey burnout a though.
Its a little better since you rode in it. The o2 heater grounds were not hooked up, thats why it was doing funny things with the mixture. The coil condensor wire was broken and I think causing some noise in the sensors, and there was some alternator/tensioner **** not right that was causing the belt to slip or something and the voltage was floating around 12 to 12.5
I think if I tried a smokey burnout the smoke would be from the transmission
I brought my 5-gas analyzer back with me, maybe Friday night or before I pass out on the M-Streets we can see it it will pass emissions.
cool. bring bail money
Need to do this too.

11 degrees of base timing allows smokey apartment parking lot 1 tire fires. Haven't tried it yet with the center diff lock and arbs on :texas:
Since the transmission was slipping so bad in clayton I was worried about making it home its rebuild time.
I'm putting together a better ZF to match the 4.6 using parts out of a bigger electronic zf 4hp24 stuffed in a mechanical zf 4hp22 case
differences:
E and F clutch
same clutch packs
rear housing is different to accommodate governor on the mechanical ZF 4HP22
Freewheel clutch
Output shaft necks down on the 22, must use 22 output shaft to fit rear F clutch housing
C and D clutch
D clutch has 1 more clutch pack, finer teeth on clutches
C clutch is the same
1 way clutch is stronger on the 24
A and B clutch
A clutch is huge, 15mm longer. Major difference between the 22 and 24
B clutch has 1 more clutch pack, housing c clip location is machined different for extra clutch pack thickness
