Spent all day cleaning the attic and garage. Still not done, but will hopefully get finished tommorow. For a reward, I took the engine out of the back of the truck and took all the accessories off. Also took of the exhaust manifolds and cruise control crap.
Bought some ram horn manifolds off ebay for $25.
I need to investigate the water pump pulley and harmonic balancer for the serpentine setup.
why, did they steal it?Quote:

"they" being the water pump and harmonic balancer that you plan to investigate. it was a joke. but, it is nioce to know that you are getting rid of that half serpentine system. I feel much better and can go to sleep now.:flipoff2:
You're awesome!Quote:

I'll start working on a bracket similar to this soon for the york. I can't believe they charge $160 for that...
Picked up the scout frame last night. In really good shape, just a little surface rust. It's going to take alot of cutoff wheels to cut off all the factory brackets.
I need to decide on a frame width. Maybe I'll chop the body first, and see where the mounts are at. Definately want to have a flat belly, so it at least needs to be as wide as a transfer case clocked up.
Deep thoughts, by Doug Krebs:flipoff2:
sweet blog. Don't you still have a torch?
you don't have a plasma at work? I'd tell them they should get one. I guess you won't be using much on it, but the rear crossmember is junk as you can see. Other than that I think it's a great frame and probably why the scout weighs as much as it does. The original drivetrain is all above the frame, so it shouldn't be hard to do on this project.
what t/case?
For the moment it will be a 208. Possibly in the future it could be a 241 205 doubler. Either way it will be clocked flat.Quote:

The only major difference that I can see from the outside is the hummre cases have cooler hose barbs and from what I've read online, they are fulltime 4wd. If you are interested in trying to use them, I will give you one of the 242's if you help me make a version of the doubler. Since The 'Corn will never actually exist we can test out whatever you come up with in Pigpen. If it will hold up behind the 8.1, it'll hold up behind whatever turd of a motor you decide to use.Quote:
