i used to run chevys first trucks were fords . ford is my preference but if it puts out 600+ hp im good lol

[HellYeah4x4]

going 466 bb ford. got the super cobra jet heads intake and carb on the way. Thinking cause of my young kids the name wet dream wont stick (twin 4 year olds and a 7 and 11 year old) gonna call it MONSTROSITY since it has rockwells, a dodge body, a chevy frame and a ford motor and the name frankenstein has been used too many times lol . gettin a lil done at a time get serious after Christmas will post pics hoping to be in romeo for tgw may 5th

 :)any updates

[HellYeah4x4]

lol Yeah ive spent a bunch of money on it! Got a shop full of new parts. My first block and heads i bought sight unseen from a relative,    was already bored 30 over and was too pitted so was gonna go 80 over but the walls are too thin. would have to sleeve 4 cylinders and its not worth it to me. the heads didnt have the springs or valves in em i was told they did and they wernt factory cj heads. So my 521 build will wait. Ill use the 460 i was gonna drop in my bronco . I sourced a set of interceptor heads and had em checked out. will be getting heads back next week and should have the motor together. will be a stock 460 bottom just refreshed with factory 429 boss rods and je flat tops forged pistons, Otherwise ive just been going through it and cleaning up some things on the frame. Got my plasma cutter and a mig conversion for my wire welder so i can finish fabing the firewall and tunnel and motor mounts. I picked up a divorced 205 tcase, still looking for a c6 2 wheel trans or im gonna convert mine. If the daily driver vehicles finally hold together and quit taking all my weekends the motor and tcase should be done in the next 2 weeks. then i just gotta put the finishing touches on the firewall and tunnel as well as the body and we should be ready for trucks gone wild!

Nice truck

[HellYeah4x4]

Dont buy the cheap foreign plasma cutters. Mine showed up yesterday doa. barely creates an arc on new peice of steel.....   this one was suppose to be a german model its not. its china junk

[989F150904]

I have a miller and its pretty touchy sometimes. Might just not have a good enough ground or air pressure isn't right. Mine will do the same thing if either one happens.

[HellYeah4x4]

well i played with air pressure from the recommended 70psi all the way up to 80 psi and down to 40 and everywhere in between. As far as the ground goes i was working on a peice of brand new 1/8 inch steel. Ieven took the grinder and went over the areas i was clamping to as well as where i was trying to cut. i put a new water seperator on my  air compressor as well as the one on the unit itself. I double checked all my connections, tried it in both pilot arc and contact arc. Gonna try it more tonite. i have it wired for 110 might rewire for 220 and see what happens. If theres anything i may have missed please feel free ill take the 2 cents lol ive used plasma cutters before just never owned one. I even wire brushed the consumables to remove any film that may have been on them but with not much change at all
