Well as most of you know I blew the motor up in the tracker opening day at the mounds. I pulled it apart and left it alone till this past weekend. I got a 93 4.3 and then I have been getting other things for it. I got the motor and trans in last weekend now i have to get an intake, radiator and other little things to get it finished up. I just ordered my upright headers. so now i dont have to worry about sucking water in the exhaust lol. going to order the radiator and intake for it friday or saturday once i get the rest of the money for selling the sidekick. I'll have the headers by friday so they will go on this weekend and i'll cut the holes in the hood for them. so next weekend i will put the radiator and intake on and maybe i can fire it up and hear it run for a second or two lol.
Congrats.......makes u think of other stuff way less huh?
Yeah that's true. Hope to have it running in a week or two
sweet! you might beat me back out there! lol
More than likely I will lol
I found the intake I need just have to drive a ways to get it in the morning. I'll have the headers Friday and I'll order my radiator and a few other things Friday. Can't wait to get this running again
cool keep up the good work
Thanks I hope to have it running next weekend. Maybe get back out to the mounds then too but I doubt it.
picked up the intake this morning then the headers showed up. put them on and it looks sweet. have to modify the flange on the pass side its hitting something on the head. also have to mod the back tube on the driver side its 1/16 from the steering shaft. want a bit more there. also fyi carb intake wont fit on a balance shaft 4.3 the damn tin splash shield hits the bottom of the intake so i have to fix that. other than that a few more things and it should be running lol.
and i have to move the siren speaker its a bit close to the header and dont want to melt it lol
those headers look sweet!
I ordered the mufflers today pick them up Wednesday.
looks great I LOVE THE UPRIGHTS! I wanna hear the 4.3 open headers!!! lol keep up the good work!
Ur gonna hear it but I'll have those shorty race mufflers like herb has
looking good Cory can't wait to see yours in action
but really can't wait for mine to be done too, got some pics on fb
gotta fine and update my project sami on roids on wgm with some pics
I'm sure yours will run better than mine but that's until I build the other 4.3 lol
ordered the radiator and water pump from summit. ill have them next week. got the intake bolted down and just have to do the exhaust now. then odds and ends. plan to get as much as i can this weekend.
cool getting all the parts needed for the tracker must be excited
suppose to get radiator and modified oil pan since stock cast alum. wouldn't fit sometime next week too
kinda bummed,might not be ready for next saturday's 8/13 wayne county mud bog,last year took 3rd place out of 22 trucks in street stock class
hoping to do better this year if i get all the parts in time if not i'll be mound bound when ready
Cool I'm hoping to have it out to the mounds next Sunday if I can
looks like i will have the parts from summit tomorrow. thats bad ass. might be able to get it done tomorrow and take it to the mounds sunday if i'm lucky.
well i made some progress on the tracker. didnt get as far as i wanted to but oh well i still have tomorrow. heres some pics.

I did more to it today. Got the fans mounted and wired up. Got the hydro steering back together. Mudbogging crazy came over helped me time it and set the idle. Need to fill radiator up and go get a serp belt for it. Then all the drivetrain crap in. Have to put a new filter and fluid in the trans too. Then I should be able to drive it around the yard.
cool
I got the fans and radiator in it for good. just need to paint the fan shroud i made. got the mufflers on and i can open the hood with them on so i'm going to tack weld them on. just need to finish everything under it so i can drive it around the yard and see how she does. cant wait till sunday gonna be a blast taking it out to the mounds again..
Cool man...good feeling huh?
Hell ya
Well the tracker lives again after blowing up 2 motors so far this year. Hope this one lasts longer than the last one lol. Started tearing down the old motor rod bearings are really bad still have 2 more to take out. Then mains to look at. The new motor runs good and strong just hope I can keep this motor running for a long time. Think I'll buy a rev limiter for it too lol
well i modified the chevy 208 case today took a dodge 208 with the fixed yoke and put it in the chevy 208. then made a new driveshaft looks a lot better and better angles too. driveshaft is about 6 in longer now.
looks good
will these be at the mounds on the 11th
Yeah the tracker will be there the 11th.
