My truck is getting a new engine!

But you don't have to do that!

didnt you keep the old engine out of the BILs farm truck?? i know you replaced it with one out of a van and thought you kept it and trashed the heads.

mudseeker · 07-13-2009, 07:30 AM

i did keep it until i tore it down and found this.

it was only a 350 though and is rusting at a scrapyard now.

That's terrible. You could have gotten another piston at the junkyard, and a little JB weld to fix the hole in the cylinder and have that one up and running like new again.

being you have a week off coming up, you should have ample time to replace the engine in stumpy and get something done on the nosebleed project.

brothers trans puked on him today and it's in my driveway, yay vacation.

bradrhale · 07-13-2009, 11:45 AM

so now what?? you have a trans to fix/replace?? ill help you out if you come help me out. i have a dimmer switch, shocks, lights, oil change, belts, and a couple of other off the wall items on the big truck to change out next Sat. maybe have enough time to rebuild the back half of the injector pump if i have time. got a feeling that i wont just because i really dont want to.

yeah, my first day of vacation was wasted on the road today and tomorrow i'm going to pick up a trans for his truck that's an hour and half away, then hopefuly throw it in when i get home and pray it works like the guy says it does. sometime this week, i also need to drive another 2 hours to pick up tires for the mud truck.
