Demon rabbit chasing a ghost

 

[baldduck74]

Maybe, the truck is possessed that why it doesn't want to get finished

Ready to start the tear down for welding it out, but between getting some puppies and a ****ty bachelor party last weekend at blue hollar. Not much has got done. Meet John and Suzie, solid white is John

Worked on engine skid today came to stopping point, when I realized I had used my 3/16" plate I had set aside for this part.
I do not remember where i used!!!
Any how, unless i find something else ive forgot about, get skid done and she is ready tear apart. Actually drained the engine oil out of it today, that's got me a little worried.

Progress is looking good. What’s got you worried on the engine oil?

 

[baldduck74]

Don't know how long it was ran with dip stick broke off. And all the fine metal, it was remand at some point, so not sure on quality of parts used.

Ah that’s quite understandable on being a little worried.

Stock truck oil pan is not going to work, I feared it wouldn't.
Couldn't get a skid plate built that would protect the pan, and still allow for drive shaft clearance. Back to the drawing board and or wallet.

i found one on ebay for 139 low profile that worked for me i think model number is 302-1 LS swap retro fit oil pan

 

[baldduck74]

I ended up ordering the kevco pan, ill figure out what I'm going to use for accumulator later.

 

[baldduck74]

Ended up ordering the kevco pan with billet filter adapter. Was exactly what I needed, other than plating the bottom skid is done.

While i had pan off i was able to rotate engine around, cams trashed couple lobes look like roller on lifter had been sticking, and 1 lobe looks like lifter might have spun in the tray or was starting to.

Reckon being worried about the engine was justified. :(

I always replace the lifter trays and the cam plate. Very common failure point on LS engines.

I'm going now, when I bought the suburban it came out of, it drove on the trailer. The coolers where all busted couldn't run it for very long.
I'm going to get it on a stand and pull it all apart, might have block cleaned.

 

[baldduck74]

Well, one thing worked out was able to get engine out top side for welding chassis up.

Nice! What do you think of that jack?

So far, I like it. Only had it for couple weeks though, so don't know about the long term reliability

That jack sure ain’t cheap.

But still 1/2 the half the price (last time I checked anyway) of a ProEagle.

Used it some more today, alot lighter than my steel frame 6 ton floor jack. Seeing how I really don't have concrete floor.

Cool deal and noticed your concrete-ish floors. :dblthumb:

 

[Zjman]

Guess that’s why I don’t see spending the coin on it. I have concrete and a 2 post lift. I thought it be cool in the dirt. But after looking at it I don’t think it be much good there either. I do like the extension for it. Think they should offer it for their Daytona jacks. I have the low pro extended reach one
