My headers were on back-order for a month and finally arrived. These are HUGE! They hit the engine stand I built and probably the frame of the F250. Going to have to modify them to fit.

Why not build your own box on the back of the F-350? Something like this:

Carburetor? It was a controlled vacuum leak.

That's some cool history. My last and only inline 6 was the 258 in my CJ7. I loved the torque from that thing. We used to go wheeling in the Santa Cruz mountains or Hollister almost every weekend. Rock crawling with big tires and no lift way back in the 80's. We were ahead of the times.

I don't know why, but I've always loved the FJ-55. Maybe because it doesn't look like anything else.

Pulled the timing chain cover off the 223. The chain has some slack, so I better change it now. As soon as I get the blast cabinet fixed, I'll finish getting the red paint off. I wish I could let you hold this part. It's 1/2 inch thick cast iron and weighs over 10 lbs. :D

4x4 will be hard to find but did you consider a school bus? Most have been both well maintained, and babied. Plenty of room; conversions are everywhere.

Nice Land Cruiser. They wanted 44K for it.

Went to the LA Roadster show today.

The only problem was the dog thinking it was for her. I would rather eat chocolate than have a shiny valve cover.

Ding, Ding, Ding! We have a winner! I was not sure the technique worked but it did. The sourdough was not successful but the hamburger bun had the perfect hydraulic properties. Now I'm hungry for bacon.

Hint: using bread as a tool.

Guess what I am doing?

The mounts will be fabricated. I don't think this engine ever came in an 88 F250.

Welding without preheating can cause additional cracking. I don't want to tear the entire engine down to the bare block in order to preheat it. I don't have a stick welder or a tig so I would have to take it to someone. If it cracks, the block will be toast, that's a big risk. I like Hillbilly's...

Crack kills! Going to epoxy it. I did some research on welding and it sounds like it's risky. It might have been due to the way the engine is mounted in the old trucks. There is a single mount on the front of the engine, and a pair on the bell housing. It's a long motor, and a lot of weight on...

I've been stripping the paint off my I6 for a couple days now. It's illegal to make chemicals that actually work anymore.

The simple things usually end up taking 8 hours.

Your dogs look hilarious! Scuba Do!

Stripping the paint off the motor. The more time I spend, the more I am hating this red.
