50+ thread

Good evening everyone. I hope that everyone had a nice weekend. I got home around 3pm and went straight to wrenching on he old firewood truck's replacement engine, trying to get things wrapped up so that I can start stuffing everything back into the truck this week.

Using the engine crane on a off camber part of he driveway was interesting, luckily it sank into the gravel enough that it wasn't trying roll away, just tip over sideways on me.


GM's brilliant idea of using a one time use plastic timing cover with a molded in crank seal was just absurd.. Holley has a solution in the form of a cast aluminum cover the uses the OG front crank seal that has worked in GM V8's since the early 50's.


I got lucky, the L31 is a 4 bolt main block.

Morning all

 

A dozen of us WI folk went out and exercised our trucks yesterday. The place has an interesting background. It was once a compound occupied by sovereign citizens. They refused to pay taxes, fought the IRS for years claiming to be a church. They had live-fire tactical training events on the grounds, built shelters loaded with ammo into some of the hillsides. They threatened many of the locals and anyone that got too close to the property. Eventually they were taken down by the Dept of Natural Resources because they had moved several mobile homes onto the land and installed septic systems without a permit. When all was said and done, the land was given to the county, which didn't know what to do with it for years. Eventually, someone thought the land would be a great place for offroad trails and the county developed it into an offroad park/campground. Some of the trails are quite challenging.

 

Good Monday Morning to all.

We had a cool car show in our town this weekend, took the following pics to share with you all.







This was my personal favorite, I wants it! My father-in-law checking it out.


This badass rat rod of a truck is my second favorite.
