I can't say I've had a car that made me doubt life choices. I was "happy" to get rid of the under powered 305 Grand Prix because it was my first car and I had zero choice in it. I was "happy" to get rid of an e46 BMW and Saab 901 because they were long in the tooth. But no real issues with...

Thanks for kicking a guy when he's down :flipoff2: Gas is still rock solid here so while high, the lack of extreme fluctuation makes it easy to budget:emb:

I just saw that pop up on my feed. Somewhat keeping an eye on it. But it has a LONG way to go to get near me. That will suck for the fire guys... VERY rugged terrain down there and we're in the mid 80s to 90s :frown:

Stock was garbage in my three sample size; all blew up around 115k miles :eek: Mine blew a head gasket, my parents' new off lot one sheered the crank, and my friend's dad I don't recall. When mine blew up, I swapped a 2.8L long block from a Camaro and home port/polished heads. It picked up a...

Nothing wrong with a "first gen" S10... once you get rid of the 2.8L and 700rblow :flipoff2:

Some of the vehicles mentioned seem to be fairly rare or desirable(ie super expensive)... classic broncos in my area go for an arm and a leg; rusty shell for $10k :eek: Some can be THAT specific VIN because it was a family hand down. I've got one of those in my hands. In my case, I have a...

Sold... not exactly. S15 Jimmy got donated because I didn't want to screw with it anymore after buying Tacoma. FJ40 got parted out. I kept frame and ***le because I wasn't going to play that game. I got back the back of the tub back and decided to start a slow revival of it. I got the...

Great topic. I'm working on my old 75 FJ40: I got rid of it in the mid 2k... I got a majority of it back in the mid 2010s. It is on the long term project list right now. At one point it had a big block cady in it :eek: Frame has been restored to stock. Another that I would kind of like to...

Self tapping screws won't work?:confused:

While I'd rather have in tank, I can't find a clean way to make it look like the truck doesn't have a shifted gas tank. Part of my goal for this truck is to look "stock" at a casual glance. I'm trying to avoid having a fuel filler at the back end of the bed either sticking out the side or out...

I'll take a look at that. How would you rate it compared to an in tank pump? Until the engine is fired up, my in tank can be heard but not noticeable after. $200 was my quick search for 80s blazer on Rockauto. Tank was $110 and pump(Delphi) was $70.

Target: 5.4L engine from 2005 Crown Vic being swapped into 60 F100. Short: Is there a quiet but quality external EFI fuel pump for this? Longer BS. I am trying to figure out fueling situation for my project. Popular method is various makes/models of tanks to fit in the rear under the bed...

In. Work ended up being a cluster in the AM; stuff arrived late(3 hours) and stuff that shouldn't have come did(vague but BIG deal). It took about 20 minutes to get the stuff back on the truck. I think one of my co-workers pulled their back throwing it around. I still made good time but I...

Probably simple bolt together while they mocked it up... then project went to the side.

Bitches have it easy. I'm from the era of 10 pages of type written :goofball:
