nice
I put a battery in it and drove it up on to my trailer
The guy I bought it from was pretty upset, he had it for 4 years and could get it to run
retard
what is a test light
I have a slightly better than stock 351 I’m putting together to drop into it for a rebuild
Nah it was straight up a junk battery, he couldn’t jump it to start it but never bought a new battery
wanna good tip
always check your lug nuts on a criagslist purchase
or your tire falls off going 70 a day after you buy it
bc the cunt finger tightend it
I check them after every purchase
live n learn
Even after tire shops
No one knows what a damn torque wrench is
>mfw mechanics left my dip stick pipe thingy out when they replaced my starter bc i couldnt get the goddam bolts off myself
I’ve gotten to the point I don’t even let them mount tires anymore on my personal trucks. I just block the truck and take the tires in to be balanced
They did a what now
left this
so oil went fucking EVERYWHERE
Yeh I knew what you meant I was just wrapping my head around the stupidity
It’s okay took my diesel to the ford house and they forgot to tighten the filter
I was a little upset because 1) I thought my engine started pissing oil and I was upset
2) there is now a black spot in my driven
same but at least i got a free oil change
Yeah, im just done taking my be vehicles in for anything that’s not major
I’d expect that from jiffy lube
Paying a ford tech 500 bucks for fluid swaps and getting a leaking oil filter made me a little angry

@baconreclaimer Cleveland or Windsor?
Windsor
Has edelbrock intake, lunati cam but I can’t remember the lobe specs, rebuilt engine minus the crank, and I’m debating whether to throw my 650 carb on it or get a summit EFI Kit
I’d like to throw some heads on it too but I think I’m going to save that money for the rest of the build, keep it simple and maybe do something a little more powerful with the engine I’m pulling
Still planning out streetable do I want it, potentially will be my daily so thinking 4” lift and suspension kit, upgrade fuel pumps and tune the carb, dual exhaust but nothing super loud set up the bed for 4x4ing and bug out shit
Definitely repaint it and eventually redo the interior, floor panels are bed lined already
If youre going bug out i would keep the carb. Much more serviceable in a SHTF situation
Theres not much that can go wrong to the point you cant fucker it to get it somewhere better suited to repair
That’s my thought process, maybe save the EFI shit for something else
With a good tuned 650 I should still get about 15 mpg
Which could get me about 350-375 miles each fill up
A basic efi system is pretty damn indestructible short of an EMP, which is maybe a 0.0000000001% chance of happening at any point. As neat as it is to think of how things would be afterwards...
