RDP'S "What are you working on?"

[4Waters]

I figured if Stacy David can have a "what are you working on" so can RDP.

I'm working on a 49 Buick Dynaflow today. Cracked exhaust manifold and 2 broken bolts, hopefully no more, I had the owner spray the bolts with PB Blaster for the last 3 days with the engine cold and warm a couple times a day.

Just finished a huge order of AMC parts, now designing Pontiac 389 pistons. After that is pistons for a PSI blown injected alcohol engine...

 

[rivermobster]

This engine is ready to come out. Gonna send it off to JMS in a few.

After that happens, I'll go back to trying to get this thing running. It's been sitting for over ten years...

What ecm/ecu setup are you running on that? I've only done boring and basic swaps, but next one coming down the road is a bit more serious...don't think I want to use a stock brain in something getting a tube chassis and some sort of forced induction.

Once my DIY home remodel is complete in the next couple months, this arrow straight frame will become the foundation of the new Boat Bling shop truck. '72 C10 with 6.0 LS & 6 speed.

The rest of the studs came out without any problems, a little planning with the penetrating oil with the engine warm and cold worked wonders. The broken stud in the back is actually an alignment dowel for the gaskets so that leaves the front stud as the only one that is broken. The exhaust manifold is cracked and the owner is going to see if he can have the manifold welded, if it can't be welded the he is going to overnight a new one.

Holy shit! The first pic was so tight, I thought it was a crawler...not seeing the lower links and such. That's some pretty serious desert hardware? Some intense driveline setup..

 

[ka0tyk]

right now i cant get out of maintenance mode on my vehicles to make some time/room to grab another project. but i have my eyes open for an obs crew cab dually to pull the cab and bed off and do a full 4 link in the rear and tuck the front end on.

He should really have a torque plate on that before it's welded and stress releive it after it's done. Don't ask how I know.

I have a bunch of projects going on. Heading to Miami next week for the boat show. I am building a personal version of a boat / ski rack system in my garage in LHC. All cool fun stuff will post picks when things come together. I have been riding my snowboard quite a bit this winter to pass time.

So far so good. Use it around town all the time. Gears are a little steep for freeway driving though.
