svo521 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 steering completely failed in middle of right turn.. had to drive across divider and through lawn at gas station to get off the road. was all bad. I'm fortunate i went the opposite direction with my suspension than most do.....would never have cleared the curb if lowered lol Quote Link to comment
svo521 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Update. Replaced steering box with one out of a 620. even got the stock wheel with it. Cracked frame on passenger side right where the lower control arm tabs welded in. repaired it but taking it easy until I can get motor out and beef up the frame. Maybe run a bolt in cross brace to tie both sides together. Not driving her much lately. The V8 swap made gas expensive. thinking about swapping in a smaller engine. Been riding my virago instead. 1 Quote Link to comment

svo521 Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Ordering LCA bushings tomorrow! Hopefully I will have a functioning oic generator by the time I start working on it. Taking motor and trans out probably going to lift the cab off also so I can clean up and paint the whole front half of the frame. thinking about throwing in a cam while I have the pan and timing cover off to fix seals. shooting for having the thing ready to pass tech inspection by march 26th so I can finally get a time slip!!!!!

svo521 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Ran a best of 14.4 at 92 mph. traction was a slight issue as was my hit and miss reaction time. I think the fact that I forgot to turn acceleration enrichment back on after last tuning session worked to my advantage. Either way I am bringing the laptop next time so I can make changes between runs. here is a 14.5 at 92 run video 1 Quote Link to comment

svo521 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 After making a right turn onto highway and getting the usual 2nd gear chirp, I noticed a clunking sound that goes away below 15mph. has a thump,thump, pause..thump,thump,pause etc. rhythm much like when a tire separates and the tread smacks the body. everything looks fine so far in the front end so I think I might have messed up the H190...... 1 Quote Link to comment

svo521 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 yeah i found a 3.70 in a hardbody but the flange is longer so i would have to shorten driveline or switch pinion flanges.
