do you have any worse pictures? :flipoff:

[BIG BLUE]

arrgh i cant look at those till i get home and drink some jose cuervo...then they wont be so blurry...:buttkick: i like the color though!:biggrin:

[Sierra Valley]

Pictures were taken at dusk and my flash doesnt work for some reason:thmasturbanana:

[BIG BLUE]

that would make them too dark not too blurry....shall i type slower for ya...:buttkick: nice looking engine thought...whats it going in?:biggrin:

[Sierra Valley]

My ford ranger. Dont care for fuel injection, v8 carberated power:biggrin:

[UniBomber]

WHERE IS THE TECH??? WHERE IS THE WRITEUP??? :mullet:

LOOKS GOOD THOUGH, I DIG THE BLUE PAINT.

[Sierra Valley]

The tech is, dont try and rotate the engine block by yourself w/ a helper bar while the engine stand is sitting outside the shop on blocks. The whole damn eninge block will fall over and your friend will look at you like your a complete jack ass.

Will get to the tech when installing it. That will be a while off still.

[MR.ROCKAPE]

NO TECH HERE!!!JUST MOVE ALONG!!!IF HAS SIERRA VALLEY ON IT,THEN ITS JUST SMOKE AND MIRRORS!!!I DOUBT HE EVEN OWNS A JEEP!!!!

[Sierra Valley]

Hey you havent wheeled all summer. Wheres your broke shit? Thats right you got a shop and your buggy is sitting in it not getting fixed. :fight:

Actually dark does equal blurry. With less light the camera has to have the shutter open longer for a proper exposure and if you don't have the camera on a tripod it is common to end up with a blurry photo.

You the man harry, tell big poo to :anj_stfu:

Harry thats way to technical for this forum...you are right but SV wouldn't have known that if you didn't mention it....man professional photographers ruin all the fun....:biggrin:

SV don't be like my brother in law who tried to push an engine on the stand across the garage and tipped it on him leg....can you say compound fracture...nasty....plus he dented my aluminum valve covers....dumb ass

[Sierra Valley]

i told my buddy not to leave me alone working on that thing. :rolleyes:

[MIGHTYRAM97]

:laughat: :laugh: :loser: I bet your buddy walks around the parts store and points at you then say's :iamwithstupid: the real deal is when he snapped the shots he was.....:drink:

[MR.ROCKAPE]

HEY SV??WHEN YOU BLOW THIS ONE UP I STILL HAVE THE :thbling: 360 SHORT BLOCK WITH DOMED FORGED PISTONS!!!USED TO RUN THE CJ5 UP SAND MOUNTAIN WITH PADDLES ON ALL FOUR CORNERS!!!!WAS A BIT WILD FOR REGULAR FOUR WHEELIN!!!!

[Sierra Valley]

Well I got busy last night and got this bitch almost done. Lots of grinding to clean them damn old bolts. Looks good, my buddy tightened everything down as he dont trust me. Last time I was working on an engine block I stripped out one of the holes.

[Sierra Valley]

now I need a new water pump, should I buy a high flow? Im kinda worried about over heating issues especially if I keep my stock radiator. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

NICE!!!A HIGH FLOW PUMP WOULDNT HURT!!!ALSO I WOULD PUT A CLUTCH FAN ON IT!!!!MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE AT LOW SPEED!!!ALSO DO YOU HAVE A SHROUD??IF YOU DONT YOU WILL WANT ONE!!!165 DEG HIGH FLOW T-STAT WOULDNT HURT EITHER!!!!!

[Sierra Valley]

I have my current shroud, will that work. The two rigs that B2 built with v8 didnt have shrouds nor does his and the other two overheated the entire trip so if my current one doesnt work I will make an aluminum one or something. I will check out the clutch fan and the thermostat. Are those pricey>?

IM NOT SURE,I THINK THEY ARE DIFFERENT!!!CLUTCH FAN FROM SUMMIT!!!CLUTCH (NON-THERMAL)LIKE $25-35 FAN $25???JEEP V8s NEED ALL THE HELP THEY CAN GET AT LOW SPEED COOLING!!!!!

[BIG BLUE]

As with anything in the rockcrawling world or just plain automotive world...cost is what you are willin to pay...thay can be realativly inexpensize like Mr. Rockape says or you can go full on and spend well over a couple hundred bucks...
just make sure you either go the clutch fan or electric...cause i have seen pictures of you and water crossings are in a lot of them...regular fans dont like water and you ever seen a radiator after the fan flexed into it after hitting water....no fun at all. I like big electiric fans cause I can turn them off when needed....but to each his own. And invest in a bigger raditaor..you will be happier in the long run.:biggrin: Lookin real nice though...too bad they never stay that shinny!

[MIGHTYRAM97]

If it came down to preference I'd run the biggest electric fan you can fit, also switch to an aluminum type radiatior (the bigest and thickest space will allow) because aluminum disapates heat better than a copper/brass unit, also it's lighter. with the electric fan, make a shroud for it as well. and a low temp thermostat does help...if it's that big of an issue use block filler and it will restrict your antifreeze flow to your cylinder heads....(they use it in circle track and drag racing...)

[MR.ROCKAPE]

BOTH YOU GUYS HAVE TO REMEMBER, SIERRA VALLEY IS A POOR GAY COMMUNITY!!!I WAS GIVING HIM THE SET-UP THAT WOULD WORK GOOD ENOUGH SO HIS LIFE PARTNER WOULDNT BE MAD ABOUT HIM SPENDING ALL THE MONEY!!!:biggrin:
