1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Some girl from my graduating class is on her 3rd kid. Saw that one coming.

 

The typical "townie"

This girl that always had the biggest crush on me in school, is on what..kid #5?

Last we spoke was some 4-5 years ago and that was just running into her in town.

 

Yup. Sounds about right. I grew a beard right after hs graduation so thankfully 99% of people don't recognize me. I can't do the small town gossip and other bs.

 

Ha

Yeah my look has changed quite a bit as well.

Reminds me, I need to trim. If I let it grow longer than 2 weeks, I start looking like fucking Gandalf.

 

Why do tool companies even make standard sockets anymore

 

The imperial system needs to die already

The dealership techs down the street where I work doesn't even have standard tools

Ford is the only offender it seems even though most of it is metric except chassis/suspension stuff

But even they need to quit it with their coarse thread locktited to hell threaded into a rubber mounted sleeve type bullshit

Decided on an engine today. It's American but becoming less common...

BBC 454

 

Thank you!

 

I vote dual quads. Or dual quad EFI. Or dual quad EFI on a cross ram intake

 

Someone potty'd in their bed last night

 

What happened to 2UZ/3UZ?

Had a 454 in my 78 Chevy stepside I used to wheel. Great motor but fuck carbs. Go EFI on it. Thorley makes nice tri-Y headers for that motor/truck combo.

What are you thinking for a trans? Is it 4wd? Wanna really keep it old school, go SM465 and NP205 combo.

 

Beats calling a toe truck

 

Can we perma ban this guy please

 

I found out I cannot find a 1/3UZ locally that isn't a "rebuild" where I have to put together a Lego set that's missing pieces. And you couldn't pay me to take a 2UZ.

The 454 is easy to get my hands on and parts are plentiful and cheap. I'm going to go with a TH400 but I plan to convert to a manual valve body, I don't want any automatic anything besides not having to use a clutch. It's a 2WD, I've searched for a while to find the right 2WD, didn't want a 3/4ton, dually, or 4WD. Cant lower any of those and an erican 4x4 is worthless to me, I already own way better 4x4s lol

 

Feeling stuck ? I know who to call

 

No interest in an OD gear?

 

I have interest, but not enough to warrant going with a weak trans, 700R4/4L60, or enough to spend cash on a 4L80E and controller
