Logansport Indiana by chance?
Sorry my auto correct sucks, Logans metal is in Pennsylvania.Logansport Indiana by chance?
Added some hp today.
sent from the middle of a corn field.
Yeah I noticed today when taking that picture how bad it was.That's awesome. Gotta be at least +20 hp.
That rear bumper needs some love though.
I'm not leaking any oil I'm burning it.The only time mine did that was when both cam seals and the front main were all leaking. New seals and all better.
Really, it is not going to be that bad. The engine was bought from a guy that works at one of our sponsors for xn for a decent price delivered and the mechanic quoted $450 to swap them.O the fun of engine replacement, enjoy the wallet draining

Timing belt has already been changed not sure about the water pump though. He is also going to change the plugs and wires I can deal with the distributor. I have some steering issues that needs addressed. I need to get new shocks and my tires are needing replaced before it starts snowing. If I have the cash left over going to get some AAL to finish my lift. It was suggested by one person to find a set of 2nd gen leafs and use them instead of AAL. Oh also I'm having new cats installed because mine were clogged and could not get headers in time.Wow I figured atleast a grand. Are you doing the timing belt, water pump, tune up, new hose etc. Or are you just doing a straight up, drop it in and go. You were saying there was 100 other things that you wanted to address.
Yep, I have a idler arm brace. I think I need to replace the center link at the least. I have been looking at the center link made by P&P Engineering just don't know if I can swing it right now. I am planning on ordering the bilestine 5100 shocks. I have a pml right now also with the AC upper control arms and I might replace the bushing I just hate paying their outrageous shipping rates. I also thought about getting the double sheer idler arm brace and pitman arm from p&p but don't know if it is really worth it. Right now I am just waiting for the final cost of getting the engine replaced so I can create a budget for what I need to get done.Now that's more like it, feel the wallet drain..lol I ended up getting the bilstein stocks, a little pricey but the quality is very good and they will allow for up to 3" of sup. lift. I only have the 1.5 PML right now. When my exhaust goes I was thinking headers and kicking the pipes out the drivers side right before the rear wheel. That would keep the exhaust tucked up between the frame and the leaf spring.
I just went through my steering, I don't know if you have the Calmini idler arm brace but for the price its worth getting, it helped alot to stabilize the passager's front tire.
