Swamp Donkey Progess

I tried to gut my valve when building pigpen but gave up on it and just re-plumbed the system with an adjustable valve on the rears.

That's what I was going to say, just reverse the prop'ing.

have you upgraded to the f350 booster and MC?

I think in 86 the bronco/f350 is the same stuff. I think I am going to try a newer year and get the plastic resevoir MC

I think the noise is the roller rockers under the stock height valve covers.

How ghetto are valve cover spacers?

never heard of them. sounds like a lot of new leak paths though. how expensive are cheap, tall covers?

..

You can see the scoring on the inside of the cover. I need taller valve covers and in order to run those, I need a intake plenum spacer as well.

The diff cover is from Great Lake Offroad. It took them a month to get it to me, but it is beefy for sure. I am going to mount it up and get pics today.

Looks like a diff cover! Also looks like your gas tank could use some altitude, or do you never touch it?

i hit it all the time, but it has't stuck me yet. That skid is beefy (see post 153; ))

Ah, 1/4", nevermind then.

i sent a intake spacer with flem to give to jimmy, if it doesnt work on the boat motor maybe it will fit yours

Karl might have ended up with the spacer, but I bet he would give it up.

Yeah, Karl ended up with the spacer. The boat motor uses the lightning intake that is like a cobra intake. Large round ports staggered instead of the oval inline ones like a normal 302 would have.

As far as valve cover spacers, I wouldn't see a problem as long as you silicone the **** out of them. A little ghetto, but if you have nice valve covers you like, then go for it. I've seen them used with success.
