That exhaust is super clean. Nice work.

B85 · 10-23-2013, 09:59 PM

Thanks John,im trying?

More welding! Preheated to 250 then started welding.

Low Elco · 10-24-2013, 08:14 AM

Wow! Can't wait to see it run!

B85 · 10-24-2013, 04:00 PM

Finished the rear cover and some welding.

B85 · 10-25-2013, 10:36 PM

Some work on the A/C bracket.

B85 · 10-28-2013, 03:18 PM

I have been trying to get around a problem with the TB. The lever pull the wrong way. Looked at away to turn the problem around but it takes up to much room!

So my son is pulling his injectors on this 7.4 truck motor and I had to take a look at the TB. It pulles the right way and it is a 70mm bore. Thats good,but the mount is different. Out comes the cutter and now it is all welded back on!

This TB does not have a MAF sender so I will need to fab up a place for it in the runner.

B85 · 10-31-2013, 09:41 PM

Some work on the TV cable and needed to make a mounting stud.

68Timber · 11-01-2013, 01:49 PM

Looking forward to seeing this make wheel smoke.

B85 · 11-03-2013, 12:06 AM

On the 700R4 its all about the angles.

Low Elco · 11-04-2013, 02:03 PM

Far out! Where'd you get that kit?

B85 · 11-04-2013, 02:20 PM

The slotted bracket came from Edelbrock 2.8 / 3.4 intake manifold. That was on the old 3.4 motor. The cable end I made. Edelbrock may sell it as just a parts kit?

B85 · 11-05-2013, 11:37 PM

Need to remount the new A/C compressor. All mounted. Belt is 100" long.
Also had to use the compressor to adjust the belt.

68Timber · 11-06-2013, 02:38 PM

The front and backside of the compressor mount, are those cut oem mounts or did you make those too?

B85 · 11-06-2013, 03:34 PM

Here you go.

Thank you sir. If I add AC to my military Blazer I will have to fab the bracket so that there is the ticket.

i'm fan of this,

B85 · 11-09-2013, 12:18 AM

Had to fix the wife's Jetta. Bad Alt. It took 2 1/2 hours to get to it!

Worked on the hot water lines to the heater.

B85 · 11-12-2013, 07:44 PM

Built the rear A/C bracket.
Went to a 45 Deg. at the heater hose. Looks better.
Started on getting the hot water out and to the other side of the Jimmy. Using the stock Rad.

Will reassemble the blower Wed,parts are all here!

B85 · 11-13-2013, 07:47 PM

Blower is back together!

Now on to the cooling fan's!

B85 · 11-15-2013, 02:04 PM

With me using the OEM cooling system needed to make a place to put the electric fans.This will house one of the Ultra's fan's and 2 7" fans.

B85 · 11-19-2013, 08:19 PM

Finish the fan's. I just love riv-nuts!

B85 · 12-04-2013, 04:03 PM

Got some time to build some brackets and now looking at what will fit? Still need to install blower but need to change blower shaft seal. Found that after after installing the new oil?

B85 · 01-02-2014, 03:17 PM

Back at it. Take a look and see if I missed anything ? Will solder up the bleed and the pipes.
