So I made a quick Lil bull**** jig with the 50. then measured every thing and burned in the new brackets on the 60.

Got the 60 under there ... And the steering mocked up.
Used a string for the draglink to check clearances. Here it is at full bump.

Here is the angle going to the arm..... And I know the bracket holding the box looks like ****. Were gone pretty it up some.
Engine guy has high hopes for this thing... What's some realistic hp ratings for this motor??

stock V8 torque, stock V6 horsepower, narrow power band and the weight of a big block! (and that is for one that is "Built")... Stock they are like 120hp and 300ft-lb

at least its clattery and stinky...

:wtflol:

I never understood the fascination with the 4bt. :dunno:

Build looks good, I like a good 40 :dblthumb:

just not a fan of engine choice.

nice work man, don't no if in use mig only but there's a stick rod called inkanel( not sure how u spell it ink-a-nel is how it said) that made for welding cast and cast to carbon that work great use em at work all the time and work great

slytowncrawler2 · Feb 24, 2013

Thanks I'll checkout the weldin rod....... As far as the engine if it was mine it would have a big block Chevy.... But that's wat Ryan wants :dblthumb:

birfme · Feb 24, 2013

I like the smoke, torque, fuel mileage and can add hp pretty easy. A stack on a gas burner is gay. :flipoff1:

STROKERYOTA · Feb 25, 2013

love the 4BT :dblthumb:

LaMedic · Feb 25, 2013

Sound be damn hard to kill it with that 4bt

slytowncrawler2 · Feb 28, 2013

Well was hoping for updates this weekend ....... But we ordered our cover from ballistic fab :dunno:

... Don't know if it's gone be here Or not. The cylinder for the assist will bolt to it so we are at a stand still. May jump on some other stuff tho.
Mainly wanted to ***** about ballistic.

birfme · Feb 28, 2013

Got the detroit in today but gears, setup kits, front locker, steering wheel, sw disconnect, tires, and bump stops have not arrived. Tired of waiting. Maybe the UPS guy just hates me.

Who told You? Was it the guy at @#$% wheel parts or spastic colon fab, Bummit, Girly Performance, or some little heep fab shop down south? But its ok I like waiting a month on parts. :wtflol:
