I just got the slayer from 454jeep and I am going to finish it for the mounds or what ever else we can run in.
heres what I got for it so far:
5.7 liter 350 chevy engine approx. 20,000 miles on it (have Edelbrock alum. performer intake w/ carter 650 carb)
400 turbo 4x4 trans mounted to a 203 t-case
3 core radiator
electric fan
3/4 ton axles (Drumbrakes was on there when I picked it up)
My plan is to make it a four seater from a two so my family can all go. So I have fab work to do.
Ok I need help with this part the axles on it are four wheel drum so the year of the axles are ??????
Does any one know if I can put disk on the at least the front axle. It is a dana 44 with a closed u-joint ( basicly there is a ball around the u-joints ) or how would I put a driveshaft or diff. brake on it?
I may need my driveshafts cut to fit so if you know anyone to do it cheap let me know.
I will also need some tires and rims (prefer 35's or bigger)
I also need some type of seat for the rear either two buckets or a rear seat out of a small suv ( jeep, s-10 blazer, bronco II, ect) you get the picture. Let me know what you have and what you want for it
Any comments or advice you have will be welcomed. Thanks
I'll try and post some pics when I get more into the build.( Before and after)
eroq does drive shafts and you should be able to put pinion brakes on it
ok thanks how would I set the pinion brakes up?
ask ghetto fab. hes got a set on his truck
thanks for the info J.C.
did you get the tires with it?? that was a sweet rig!
no the tires did not com with it

here is the link to pics as how I got it.
for some reason I couldn't get the pics to tranfer over
get r done! nice start!!
Let me know what you need...I'm here to help.
great looking project!!
Thanks 454 I'll Keep in touch
Nice project! Definately a good start. I have a rear seat floating around here somewhere thats out of a Sami or Tracker, small but should work for 2 kids. May have 1 out of a CJ7 too.
what would need for the seats $$ ??? prefer the cj but I can make any work.
12 Barley pops. ;D
I sent you a pm.
Ok I'll give ya'll an update I got my tires and rims 35-12.50-16.5 bfg mud terrain t/a's I found a radiator that will fit in the front with a little help. I got the seat for the rear ( full size blazer seat )
I will be swaping out the front ( old dana 44 w/drum drakes ) axle for a 10 bolt out of a 3/4 ton saburban ( Need lockouts for it though ) I've been getting alot of parts around and stocking the in the barn I havn't really been putting it together though wife says I need to get the first project done first ( finishing the basment ). I should be working on the slayer in a couple of weeks I got two weeks off starting next week ( gm shutdown ) so I should get the basment done then.
I'll keep ya'll posted and get some more pics up when I actualy start working on it once I start it wont take long to get it done I have most of the parts I need I just need the lock outs for the front axle now. If any one has any f/s at a reasonable $$$ please let me know.
I also need a set of sbc headers if anyone has any cheap please let me know Thanks Gary.
I've got a set. $50
Pulled the engine, trans, and t-case from the donor truck today. I got my headers on saturday (Thanx again 454jeep) still got to get the engine and trans mocked up to use my front drive shaft (as is. No shorting) But before I do that I got to do my front axle swap. by the way things are going and my budget going quick this thing may turn into a all winter project. But I'd rather take my time and do it right than hurry up and slap it together and have things brake the first time out.
Ok another update I got the back of it all done and rear seat in. I will have the motor trans and transfercase in on saturday and hopfully the front axle swaped out. I will also have the two front seats in. Then alls I will have left to do is floor boards, fire wall, some type of doors, and side panels. Oh yeah and wire the engine. and put the radiator and fan in.
I'll have some pics up as soon as I can get my camera to charge.
Update...Let's see some new pictures.
Here's me DOMINATING the "slayer" ride. :) ==jk

theres the new pics I got I think that hood looks sweet on there.
nice ride
thanx hopfully it will be done soon
Sweet....
Let's see some updates...
The last pics I posted is all I got right now I've had some things come up that I had to take care of first. I have a week off coming up next week hopfully I can get some work done on it.
Good deal. Let me know if you need any help.
I will start working on this again tomarrow (Friday 1/2/09) I will post pics as I go I have had a
change in plans for this build. I am using a different frame that has the wheel base I need to fit
my drive train in with no modifications and I will be running my 400 sbc until I can get my 350
built the way I want it or find a good cheap bbc for it. The frame is from a 3/4 ton "77" chevy
suburban with a dana 44 front axle I thought it was a corp. 10 bolt until doing some research on
it. The axle also has the warn lock outs on it. I don't know what that will do for a np203 t-case
but their on there. I am also putting 2" receiver hitches front and rear and building custom
bumpers for it I should have some pics by saturday night once I get into this build it should not
take me long as I have most of the parts to build it. The only parts I may need is brake parts
(rotors, pads, calipers, lines) I have a corp. 14 bolt ff for the rear and will probably make the
brackets fit it for four wheel disk brakes I have a corp 10 bolt I can use for parts.
Awsome.
sounds good sounds like the new plan is on track keep the updates comin
anymore pics for us to drool over???
update: I got the old slayer in the barn and started tearing it apart its a slow process it fighting me every step of the way I broke all seven of my sawzall blades ran out of acetalyn for my torches and went through four cut off wheels for my grinder. And it still is not torn apart yet. I am going to have to wait until friday to repletish my cuting tools. I should have some pics by sunday if all goes well. I did get the front axle off and out.( old mid 60's closed knuckle d-44)
Well I finally started workin on the "SLAYER" today. I got the square tubing body? off the frame and hanging from the rafters. I still got to take the lift blocks and springs off the rear axle and the old frame can come out of the barn and the new one in. I'll post pics later tonight.
Cool, keep us updated!
Ok I got some pics this is as far as I got tonight. The tubing is just sitting on the frame. I need to adjust it and get it welded on. hopfully I will be able to get my springs and lift on it tomarrow. Enjoy the pics.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the back yet but, I'll see if I can get some better pics tomarrow when its daylight.
Well Slayer is getting stripped and parted out the axles are already gone check the forsale section tonight or tomarrow morning 3/8/09 and I'll have everything posted forsale with pics.
I got a new bogger that is cheaper than trying to build this one.
This is what is taking the place of the slayer or will be the New Slayer when I'm done and hope to have it done for the easter bog. it needs new rings in the motor and I'm going to paint it and put a roll bar in it.

If everything goes as planned and I don't run into anymore problems I will be at gladwin with the bronco.

I got the rings, bearings, main seals, and gaskets. All I need now is my ridge reamer to get here and this will be a done deal.
looks like your making some progrees
Now I need a piston pullhairr ==storm I broke one putting it in with new rings don't know where to get one piston. Summit wants $238.00 for them. I don't have that much more money to put in this thing I just bought $600.00 worth of parts and now I can't do anything because my ring compresser is junk.
Man that sucks. :(
summit has one for like $50.00 and a buddy of mine found a new one at bauman bro. in chesaning for $29.00 + tax I can order it today have it tomarrow.
At least you found one. applaudd Be running in know time ;D
Well I got a PISTON a big thanks to "The Boss" in millington for the piston. motor is almost back together, alls that is left is intake, water pump, distributor, flywheel, and brackets fo power steering pump, and alternator. Should be done before I go to work tomarrow afternoon.
hopfully I can drop it in on wednesday.
its mud time get-r-done
engine is all built and ready to go back in now alls I need is a good rain free day and I'll be all set.

just a few more things to go on and fire ur up tomarrow.
then I have to do the axle joints, driver side u-joint has a cap missing so it won't last long.
well still not running got everything done and bolted up all the hoses on all the gauges hooked up started putting antifreeze in the radiator and it was coming out the bottom tank as fast as I was pouring it in the top ==pissed
I guess I need to find a radiator. ==censor
i got one, shoot me a pm if interested
Looking good!
Ok I got a radiator and got it in Thanks SwampRat But now I have a issue with flooding before it starts it'll almost start but then it floods Carb or timing it has brand new timming chain and gears and it was set perfect when I put it in may have to play with the distribitor a little ??? ???
Almost had it started and the battery died. I don't know I'll play with it when it gets warm again.
it RUNS!!!!!! but it has a cam to it ??? (it sounds like a drag car at idle) timing ??? it has brand new timming chain and gears
and I put a electric fuel pump on it but when I turn it on it kills the motor but with it off it will run all day ??? I would think it would run out of gas without the pump being on ???
you need to get a regulator and it is probably just free flowing
put a fuel pressure regulator on it and set it bout 6.5 psi schould run fine after ya do that
now I need a water pump. and does anyone know why a new solinoid would smoke or get hot when trying to start the engine ??? The way its looking it won't be ready for gladwin ==cry
its the bronco curse man. lol. make sure the wires are on right.
i put a water pump on it last summer.....weird...anyways, with the solenoid acting like that it might be a bad ground or possibly the starter has a flat spot on it. id pull the starter and see if i can jump it on the bench before i did anything else.
Damn boy gitter dun
First time running....

ABOUT TIME
OMG IM DROOLING LOL! GREAT JOB AND SWEET PICS!!
c-ya there!
I put some add ons on the bronco yesterday.
I put a rubber flap on the front about a week ago.
I added the front receiver yesterday.
(http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn114/mudslayer2008/100_2705.jpg) (http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn114/mudslayer2008/100_2705.jpg)

it is welded to the frame on the sides welded to the bumper with 1/4" plate and then it has 1"X 2" tubing welded at a 45 degree angle from the bottom of the receiver to the frame.
(http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn114/mudslayer2008/100_2707.jpg) (http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn114/mudslayer2008/100_2707.jpg)
then I couldn't find a insert that that I liked without a drop to it so I built my own. it is 2" thick wall tubing cut and formed to fit the 7/8" (6.5 T) shackle I have then I welded a 1/8" wall pipe in it as a sleeve.

did you build a new one for the front too? i like that setup, bad ass!
I am building one today for the front.
I got the front insert made and painted today.
Here is what it looks like

The Bronco has a new look....... Let me know what you think
(http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn114/mudslayer2008/100_2712.jpg) (http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn114/mudslayer2008/100_2712.jpg)
the bronco will get painted when the weather warms up a bit here is a pic of a trailer I built 2 years ago the bronco will be the same color as this.

......not a fan of it but hey, not my truck anymore!
well i decided the "SLAYER" on the front doesn't look as good as I thought it was going to so it may get relocated on the back or I might just airbrush it on after I paint the bronco.
dont wanna sound like an a$$ hole but it really takes away from the ford front clip with it there. i think it would look bad ass if it was air brushed on after you paint it though. good choice man, love what you have done with it so far. cant wait to see it actually get some good mud time.

My wife agrees so thats prob. what I going to do
well it's been awhile I havn't done to much to it except new bearings and seals in the front axle and try to get the power steering working. But I did get my 6" strap yesterday from 4xken thanks again. cheaper than TSC but made alot better and it's made right here in Detroit, MI.
well I am building a 2" or 3" body lift for it this week and possibly getting a minispool for the rear.
here is the reason I am putting the lift on it

ya, it needs it pretty bad. that was another project i never got to on it. looks like she kicked some ass out there this weekend though. glad its running good for ya!
I bought this truck today for parts.

and this, dana 60 rear

you get anything else done?
No he sleeps too much LOL
nothing yet I'm in the process of tearing the F-250 apart. I'll have my mini spool ordered by the weekend. as soon as the parts truck is torn apart I'll put the body lift on the bronco.
I ordered the mini-spool today. Can't wait to get it and get this thing done. swaping out the t-case this weekend and hopfuly getting the body lift done as well so when my spool gets here I can put it in and go play.
rear end is torn apart waiting for the mini-spool to get here. can't change out the t-case because this np 205 is attached to c4 trans and the input shaft is differant so I'm stuck with the 203. I'm starting the body lift tomarrow after examination of the body mounts there are only 4 that are good the rest is either broke or pulled thru the frame. I'll get pix as I go.

leaving the 9 inch in it for now that way I don't have to get new rims. I'm kinda limited on money right now been laid off for 4 weeks and I got at least 5 more weeks to go before I go back to work.
I got the body lift blocks made today they measure 4" high but they will only give me 3" of lift.(the rubber body mounts measure 1" thick and I'm not reusing them)

I do however have to take the "slayer" off the front because the body lift raised the hood release to the middle of the "A" and I can't get my hand in there to get to the hood release.

you know tho you dont really need to get rid of it, you could put it in the back window.
I got my special package today and installed it (the mini-spool) I also took the slayer letters off the front so the bronco has yet another look to it.

Hey quit breakin s**t and git R dun
going to start painting tomarrow if it don't rain if it does then maybe friday or saturday. So most likly I won't be at the mounds this weekend. Oh well I'd rather take my time them rush. But I'm not going to do a bunch of body work either the rear driver quarter panel is all rotted and I'm not going to replace it or patch it. 1. it's a bogger it will be packed full of mud most of the time anyways. 2. I don't have money to put into this truck like that. 3. I'm lazy and don't feel like doing the body work. I'm just going to sand and paint.
dude this bronco it turning out to be one sick truck!! great job!
Lazy is a good word git r dun son

lokkin pretty sweet....i want to paint my bronco the rest of the way royal blue like the front clip
It's finally done for now power steering works (it only took me three pumps to get it to work) the rearend is locked together engine runs sweet, the only other thing I need it 488 gears front and rear, but that will be later on when I have my taxes and everything paid for the year.
WOO HOO LETS GET IT MUDDY
I put a roll bar in the back of it to go to the dunes and be able to take the top off of it but was unable to go. I don't think I'll be using the "SLAYER" theme on the bronco anymore I got something else in mind but I'm not going to say what that is right now. I'll post a pic of the roll bar later I have slower internet now so it might take a day or two.
applaudd LOOKING REAL GOOD .........NICE forddd ==thumbsup
well I lost all oil pressure on the last day at the mounds (03/14/10) so I pulled the motor and found metal shavings through out the motor so I put my extra 460 in it and tried to have it going by the time the mounds opened back up on Sunday 05/16/10 but couldn't get it to run right. When I did get it to run it smokes worse than the other one ever did and it is pushing oil out out of the right bank between the head and exhaust manifold plus my brand new spark plugs are full of oil and the engine will not start up. after talking to a couple of people and checking it out I have a stong belief that it has some bad rings and possibly bad heads. So this is my luck I have two 460 engines and a 400 modified and non of them run worth a p00.
Unless I can find a good 460 motor or at least a good short block that has no issues for $300.00 or less then I am done for the year, as I DO NOT! have the money to keep putting into these engine problems and not be able to run a full year with out some type of internal engine problem.
Sorry for the rant, I needed to vent a little but this is my luck as always bad luck or no luck at all.
thanks of reading

I have a great running 1.6l 16 valve motor we could put in there. lol. good luck hope u get what you need so u can go play with the rest of us.
going to try a compression test and see where I stand and what I need to do hopefuly it won't cost me that much to fix
compression test shows good rings highest is 180 psi and lowest is 158 psi according to my rebuild book the compression chart shows for the 180 highest the lowest acceptable is 135 so i'm right in the good compression range. Plus I have chocolate milk for oil. I am going to change the heads and probably put upright headers on it but, it will take some time to get the money up to do so. I'm looking at about $400.00 to do the job.
It's not cheap to play in the mud with a big block.
if theres no oil presher thats bearing , rod, main, or cam.
hope you get it figured out.

I pulled the motor out that has the no oil pressure issue and put another one in and now I have head issues I can't seem to get ahead of this game. hopfully I can get this all fixed and have it run good for awhile.
the heads that was on the motor when i gave it to you were damn near brand new, i had them completely re-done. did you try them heads on your other motor? just a thought...trying to help ya out.

those are the heads I'm going to use I just need to get the gasket set and some upright headers I broke the exhaust manifolds for those heads so I'll be down for a little while. I've been laid off the past couple weeks and don't have the money to put into it right now.
