PUT IT ON A DYNO!
I would say call Dave Prima and ask if he knows of a place he could meet you at. Might cost less than one of Daves "street" engines.
NOT an engine I would willy nilly down the road till you KNOW she's dialed.
I still have two Jeeps.....and a WD21, but, I would realy like to build a Patrol some day. Both of my current Jeeps have been found on farms. Hopeing for the day I find a Patrol in a barn.
Eliminating the spring bucket should make for a much easier triangle to build as well.
Be sure to keep us up to date on your ideas. Sounds interesting.
Glad to see you posting Andrew! :thumbup:
I had pics of your prerunner for the longest time. I saved everyone I could find. I REALLY want to build one.
Is there a build thread anywhere on it?
Oh hell ya! The day after that pic I had to reverse the fender lip to haul my damn pantoon boats to Shasta. The fronts would only rub in tight corners if I was pushing it. Did the fronts shortly after we got back. I got tired of listeneing to it. :D
I've used the Lucas and the Mobile. Bothy great products. Anything is better than a moly based grease. That shit turns to a nasty sticky mess when it gets hot. I really like the John Deere grease #TY6341. It's what is in their bearing & tie rod ends when they come new. I can tell you that high speed bearings last longer with the Deere grease than others.
I use it my steering joints too.
