Havent updated in a bit, been mostly hanging out over on irate4x4...
Well after a summer/fall of wheeling, the truck that was bought for a good motor...now needs a motor. Has very low compression in cylinders 3&4 and likes to knock a bit.
We found a good running 22r for wicked cheap, and have a buddy willing to sell off his spare propane setup.
A friend who runs a shop is turning this custom cab into a DD with a 3.4 so he wanted the engine gone. Friends with nice shops are a good thing!
Motor Gank.
And back to my little shop. It will get valve cover gasket replaced and pull all the emissions off of it. Nothing to fancy.
It still runs..
Cap back on, doors and fenders back on, we ended up needing to cut the fastbak bars off for now. Well we do them when the trucks over at the benders.
The best way to get into the back seats now, it out the back.
Started stripping the "new" motor and found it needed a timing chain (broken guide, hope cover is ok) Well swap that out next and get the propane parts fitted then start swapping it over.
