FAt bought a 85 ranger to drive while the warthog engine gets replaced with a 327 chevy, in a couple weeks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, in testing driving type shit,,,,,, the bypass hose blew.. So when fixing that i thought ,,what the fuck i'll just replace he thermostat now,,,,,,,,,, well the fuckin thermostat is on the lower hose not the top.... Then one of the tiny god damn bolts breaks off,,, whoopdy fuckin do..... Which brings us up to about 10 minutes ago.

I love that there's a sawzall, a torch, hose (obviously for safety) some likely flammable chemicals nearby....and not one wrench or screwdriver present!

 

Is that a shop vac I see the top of too? Was that to clean up after the bloody massacre?

 

Tell me someone took video of this!

Does the 327 require a transmission or is the fear of good ol 'Merican torque enough?

 

It will be belt drive directly to the rear differential ,, it will just be loose enough to slip until a lever with an idler wheel is "pulled" to increase tension. We did the calculations and the engine should putting out somewhere between 693 hp and 1474 hp on NOS ..

And the head Uber Goober brought over for us to have to get rebuilt was outside while we were working on his truck,,,, Uber noticed it was getting rained on,,,,,,,,,,, moved it inside onto a plastic bucket................ A little later to avoid getting soaked while welding we pushed truck forward,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, running into bucket ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, bouncing head off floor,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but at least it was dry.

Thought i posted these before but i guess i didn't ,,, this happened just before Hoboland BBQ .

 

Had a underdash water leak so since it was all the way apart he switched out the tach and crack free dash that has been growing dust for a few years..

Took 2 trys because he had 2 uncracked dashes one from 78 and one from 81,,, bolted 81 in,,,, gauge cluster has just enough different measurements it would never have fit..... So take the whole damn thing apart again and install 78 .

Since he moved to apartments,, Warthog mostly sits here at my house and he drives this goofy thing to works,, and the A10,,  mostly just to meets/shows and cruises like my Datsuns.

Which catches us up to yesterday and the color matching fender bumper and gigantic leather seats i got at the PnP for  his "new" V8 luxury barge project ,, to get rid of some "bodywork" that previous owner did.

Barge needs tie rod ends so it drives less like ski boat on small crowded lake.

 

 

Nice barge :cool:

 

That v8 would go nicely in that 4x4  :devil:

 

 

I was thinking adapter-ed to a W tranny out of his moms old 87 supra,,,  would make this little guy scary as fuck
