LOL. Hopefully we can help someone else out too.
I'm going to get the seal, hopefully do that on Friday.
Any thoughts yet on the shifter? I can slide it back and forth very easily. Almost no resistance at all. Yet, it definitely is trying to change ranges, as it will grind some.
Not really sure which area to put this in? :confused: So, after sitting in the driveway for a year and a half, I got my Dad's 95' 6.5 going. Turns out, he had the wrong flywheel inspection cover. We had a 95 Jimmy in the driveway at the same time the TC in the 6.5 went out. Both tranny's were...
what are they all doing on it and what are they charging?
i haven't personally dealt with them, but a good friend had them help build his 454 to 496 BB for his 1970 SB. ):h He was very happy with them.
thanks for the info on the crank. now i have an idea what i am looking at for price. there isn't a real rush on. i have so many projects on the go as is. i would like to get the main studs and crank put in by the shop that will be doing the cleaning and honing. Pendozi Machine Shops has a really...
interesting. i avoid lordco like the plague. always found them to charge way more than anyone else. i use action parts almost exclusively. they were checking into the timing gears for me.
as for the timing. how much difference would there be in timing between a new(er) chain and gears...
Dang, that's where they all went! Sold them to you guys! ):h
Haha, at least the military has a nice ride.
Don't throw a full out muffler on there. It will contribute to lost mileage and possibly power. Get a nice free flow setup that will take away some of the roar, but still leave you...
Marine 6.5's have a cooling capacity that we can never achieve short of driving our trucks into a lake, thereby rendering the need for cooling obsolete. ):h
Because of the ability to cool they can crank up the amount of fuel being dumped in. Also, the IP's are typically a 4 plunger unit as...
i agree on the opinion. i guess what i am basing it off of is the fact that he is actively involved in pushing this project, and unlike many other guys, seems to be very open and approachable.
I looked at the DSG girdle. Maybe if it was a complete girdle, then i might consider it. cost factor...
Talking with Bill, he said the only girdle that he knows of on the market, is the DSG, which only ties the middle 3 together, and in his opinion, can cause more damage. He says that main studs are all that are needed and he is using them on his bonneville truck. considering the power it's...
This is going to be my build thread for Project Non Typical.
I choose the username Non Typical as the name of the truck.
She just turned over 396,000 kms (247,500 miles), last week.
I finally pulled both heads of the build engine and was really happy with what i saw. The truck that the engine...
go with airbags. heavier springs will make for a harder ride without a load, while airbags will give you the ability to stiffen your ride with a load, but return to stock suspension without.
at age 18 i had an 81 F___ s/b r/c with a 3 speed and the 300/6. straight piped it, put "extra" stereo equipment in and some eagle rims and thought i had the hottest ride around. don't make to much fun, most of you know how it is with the first vehicle. i am going to my buddies and pull up at a...
Stacks are awesome, but I understand blowing it in the window too.
When I first put the 6.5 back on the road after tuning her up, i was amazed by the amount of smoke to be had by putting it in overdrive at 35 mph.
We have school zone in which you are to slow down to 30KMH (20MPH)
I like...
