im doing a build thread for my 92 Flareside instead of keeping on making new threads that way i can come back to this one single thread later.... Day i bought it January 23rd, 2009. next day i replaced the passenger side window as there wasnt one cause it was busted out.. the door went through several different colors..... bought these from 95bronk and put them on.... and then on July 8th i got rear ended.... and then it got fixed... then late November i started to buy parts to really build it... parts include: 8.8" rear 4.10 Gears rebuilt with a Detroit Locker Euro Clear headlight, turn signals, and corner markers and new NOT broken mirrors. The new 4.10 rear, prepping it to put in. Got the truck in the air and ready to start pulling the 3.55 On the floor! The 3.55 out And the 4.10 is in! mirrors on.... headlights in... old on left. new on right... fully done... then for a while nothing happened due to lack of funds and time.. and then this gem came along... May 28th started the next chapter of the build.. smilieFordlogo 1984 351W H.O. alot of miles. was smoking when pulled but did run.
and the engine is on the Stand... and the teardown begins..... and for all of you that didnt know... yes its in my kitchen in my apartment... as it sits today ready to go to the Machine shop in about a week.. the plans for it is.. .030 overbore Hypertuetic Flat Top pistons Comp Cams 35-255-5 cam Heads will either be E7 or GT-40 if i can find some soon here close by in good shape. stock intake and still Speed Density EFI Pacesetter Longtube headers. duals off of headers into DI/DO high flow cat into dual Cherry Bomb Glass packs.
the next piece to the puzzle are these GT40 heads.... bought em for 250 bucks, 85k miles on em, gonna have em rebuilt and etc....
then found out the block was no good... .060 over already, wasnt worth keeping.... Head Gasket blew... and am at the same time as replacing the head gaskets i did a GT40 Swap and deleted all the smog stuff except the EGR valve... that will be coming cause i need the kit from RJMinjection.
more pics...... also cleaned and painted my engine bay... looks tons and tons and tons better... BEFORE: AFTER:
and thats where im at right now... truck has only ran once in the past 3 months.... and it was only for bout 1 minute just to hear what it sounded like with the new cam, and i discover the passenger side head gasket was still leaking... so i am gonna tear it down again...
thanks.... i've put a chitload into it.... and honestly... all that i just posted aint even all.. its bout 2/3's of what i've done..
