Beautiful truck, clean, clean!!
Out of curiosity how much clearence do you have between the bottom of the oil pan and the top of the rockwell? Even though it was kinda forced good move to go back to the std trans...breaks my heart when I see an automatic Kaiser....Keep up the good work, looking forward to more posts...

Thanks ..... i never mesured it but i will take some mesurment for you this weekend. For now i will keep the auto because the new engine was not really need this month so i'll have to wait to get the NV ( found a complete swap for $1500 ) but i will need to get a new input and fit the 205 to the nv.

It's fun automatic but standard give always better feelings. And the Nv will took the abuse of 1000 pounds of torque.

The cam bolts dont have to come out. They can get loose and allow the cam to walk or drift. When that happens, usually a pushrod will wander off the lobe and the chain reaction starts. You get bent pushrods and tappets.

It may have been something else but that is the most common problem for the carnarge described. Another P pumped 715......Im excited for you!!!

What plans do you have for the motor? Are you going to pursue 1000 ft/tq?

[Kamikaze12volts]

the engine already have 700 pounds of torque .... so with a fuel plate,injectors and fuel pump springs those numbers will easilly be reached. My friend have the same setup and his dodge's able to drift anytime on dry pavement.

New tires installed ..... and doesn't stick too far out of the body !!! And a poser shot with my little BMW

Nice job on the entire truck. I've really enjoyed your build and have always been impressed with your vision and drive.

These new tires are cool and it is nice that you have what you want. To me though these tires just went over that too-big line. The last set was still small enough to follow the line of the fender flair but these make the truck look like an ornament for the tires. I'm not criticizing your choices, this is your truck. I'm sure that you would think that mine was too under-done. It is just that when tires get this big the body of the vehicle starts to look like it doesn't belong, like it is too small for the overall picture.

Again, not really a criticism, just not to my taste. You do really have a great truck!

Truck looks great!!!!!

I think once he gets the other 3" or so of lift it will look even better, right now the tires are too close to the body IMO.

I really think it will look nice when it gets a few more inches of lift. I had the same tires for a while. I switched to the 46 XML's so I wouldn't need any more lift. Looking forward to hearing about how it drives. You will have plenty of torque to turn them thats for sure.

thanks ....... and yes right now the tires look too big but with extra lift they will fit right in.

BBM715 --) that was also my first impression ..... over that too-big line but the rear fit better then the front. I even think about 2" body lift up front and maybe drop a Deuce tranny instead of the Nv4500.

spgirard30 ---) i have try the 395 and the 12.00r20 and they were nice but i really want to have those XL treads. I may have choose other size but 15.5/80R20 or 14.75/80R20 are impossible to get used and cost $800 each new. So the 14.00 were chosen because of what they look and price but effectively they are bigger then expected.

I will need first to get the new engine in , then a ram assist steering and then i will work on the suspension. With extra lift in front i may reverse the front shackle for better handling and give an extra inch this way.
