Re: Project: chopped70

Keep on working and just keep your head down and don't look around. Some times it motivates me to watch some YouTube vids of broncos wheeling and grab a beer heading to the garage.

Re: Project: chopped70

Well the old 302 was finally done....I have an efi 351w going in its place once I clearance some firewall, motor mounts and figure out my accessories fitting behind the radiator. I still want bronco skins again, but that is at the bottom of the list. When pulling the motor I forgot to release the air in the shocks....that helped clear the stinger
Next is reworking my harness.

It looks all sad like that. I hope to see it on the trail soon with that new 351W!

Re: Project: chopped70

I striped my harness down and bring to figure out the vss. I have no speedo. I'm thinking I can use the Dakota digital pulse generator.....maybe

Re: Project: chopped70

Looks like a hell of an improvement. I need to do the same thing.

Re: Project: chopped70

I ended up getting the wrong clutch to my flywheel....was told it was a 91 f250. So after a second run to the parts store I have a matching flywheel and clutch. My last build was kinda bitting me in the ass with the motor set back 6" causing a very cramped space in the engine bay. After breaking one of my block hugger headers trying to bend it away from the frame, I ended up using one block hugger and one clipster header.

Re: Project: chopped70

Ordered fuel system parts and hopefully the right serpentine pulley from wild horses.....

Re: Project: chopped70

After this wheeling season.....alot of tubework is getting chopped off for repairs and I really want to do a new subframe, currant one is beyond scary. Maybe a third seat......

Re: Project: chopped70

Fuel system is coming together. Got a walbro gsl394 high pressure 255lph pump and some walbro pickups for the fuel cell I stole from rockbronco67's old rig. Just waiting on jic fittings, hose and some compression fittings to hookup the pickups. Got my pulley too from Wild horses....

Re: Project: chopped70

Let me know how the pickups and pump work for you.

When's the kings going on? Lol

Re: Project: chopped70

I tried to take one....but got denied..haha

Re: Project: chopped70

Worked on the fuel cell today. I bought some walbro eemote pickups and tied them into the fuel outlet with some compression fitting, brass tube and some intank rated rubber line. Basically, just bent the tubing to have pickups land on either side of the cell left to right and front to back.
