I know, right? The first motor was kind of a crap shoot. (As is this one). I just needed something to get the ol girl up and going at the time and that engine wasn't as in good a shape as I had thought. Hopefully, this swap will be a better change and should last for a while.
Well, here we go again. Kermie liked the "new" engine I put in back in April. She ran pretty good, too. But, vacuum was a bit off and the oil pressure was a skosh concerning. (30 psi at road speed). Not to mention the T400 trans decided that I needed Lake Mercon in my driveway. (I would swear I...
Still here, just running around like a head with my chicken cut off. Trying to keep Kermit going, Tink the Jeep is giving me crap and somewhere, somehow, I am trying to get the stroker done for the Valiant. That is actually everything I fraking own. LOL.

Weird thing is, I was talking to a good friend of mine tonight that has a Ford Unibody truck with a 6.0 in it. We were going over the pros and cons, I'll have to talk him into joining....
Well, just to update,
I got the transplant in last Saturday. Sunday was the day to nail down the details. So..
The water pump that was on it wouldn't jive with my P/S bracket and the boss on my new water pump was drilled and tapped instead of being drilled all the way through for the pivot...
Nothing that I know of, but then I haven't worked for a Dodge dealer since the Viper first came out (92?). I was actually looking at a 99 4wd club cab when I sold my Roadrunner last year and had heard about the ball joint thing. Never saw a real confirmation on it. I know that the first gen 4wd...
I love that truck! I had actually thought about a 4wd conversion on Kermit, but unless a rollover falls into my lap or gas goes back under 2 bucks a gallon, it ain't gonna happen. Take note of the Grand Wagoneer next to the truck, one dinosaur sucker on the the family roster is enough.
