Wonder why they hacked them up like that. How much meat is left where they ground them down and the edge of the hole? Its kinda hard to see in the pics. I have some here I can get measurements off of.

 

here is a crappy pic I snapped real quick...its dark, be you can see how it looks from the side

 

They cut the top holes off for some reason. Pretty sure they are the ones you need to use to put a v8 in a 4x4 to raise the engine up.

I thought I had better pics of the mounts but I guess not, try to get some tomorrow.

 

time to remove the plexi glass patch that someone did on my blazer...I called around and a new one with new rubber is $120 installed, so Ima go for it:

here it is still in plexiglass:






if my truck is gonna sit in this windy weather, its gonna be air tight lol

I also called for a used guaranteed engine..$750..its gonna be a week or 2 though...

 

the glass guy just left








its tinted, but thats another reason to go 2.5% in the back

 

so even though my engine has been ticking/slapping i still start it every morning and move it into the garage...well......

this morning, it started, but is running hella rough...i gas it, and she smoothes out....so Since she is almost empty on gas, i drove her to the gas station (literally on the next corner) and pump 2.5 gallons.....she still isnt knocking........i pull into my driveway, and sure as shyt she is ticking.....

Im starting to wonder if its just a lifter getting stuck?!?!?!?! Im wondering if itll be worth the work of pulling the valve covers (It needs new gaskets anyways) and cranking the engine and watching if all the pushrods are going up/down....any input, thoughts???

 

i was bored, so I decided to pull the cowl.....ever since I bought my 63 d100, i clean all of my cars cowls, even if the car is 2 years old..the half hour it takes to pull and clean the cowl is way easier then 8+hours cutting, grinding, welding....


Before:








After:

its not a lot, but at least I wont get hit in the face with debris when I turn the fan on

 

decided to go to the car wash on the corner







and the new back window:



even detailed the engine...the air cleaner cover is too shiney lol:

 

Man you need a better camera!

 

yeah I know..my step-mom got me this one for my birthday a couple months ago, and Im afraid if I buy a new one soon, itll hurt her feelings..ill wait until at least christmas

Its a cobra DC325...it has a HD and a regular setting, but in HD I can only take 5 pics. Its also a web cam too...
