He tried to

[FATTshack]

[Lady Di]

well as we all know, he did make it, but not without its problems. It was a learning experience I am sure.

[CTENG in KS]

She made it...she just has some quirks to work out.

[Wermz84]

Equip it out like a Mad Max mobile complete with saw blades and all on the body work.   

[Lady Di]

then it will be the Blingn Beastmaster

[Doof]

so i take it that something went wrong along the way? but nothing major to make you turn back?

[CTENG in KS]

The Beast has been feeling a bit neglected lately so I decided to do a little work that needs getting done.  Decided to pull the carb and intake manifold to see if I could free up the distributer and clean up the topside of the engine while I am at it.
No probs getting the carb off...got spacer?
The manifold has been a different story.  I took about 1.5 million bolts out and all that has happened is a gallon of coolant has bubbled up out of it.  Why.  Shouldn't it all settle to the lowest point in the system?  Is it just WAY overfilled?

So now I got most of the coolant sopped up out of the top of it, drained what I could and I can't get the manifold to budge.  Anyone got any suggestions as to where you are supposed to pry to pop it loose?

[BUBBA]

Since your gonna remove it I would go ahead and replace it with an aluminum one.And if your gonna do that then you can get rough with it.Try driving a screwdriver between the intake and block at the front or back (which ever is easiest to get to).That should do it,if not the try sticking a long prybar into one of the carb holes and pry sideways.

But do consider replacing it with a aluminum one.HUGE weight savings.

[unclejpl4x4]

i think you should ditch the restricter plate and pop on one of those foger spacers  for sneaky peter

[CTENG in KS]

I am considering ditching the plate.  I think the spacer has a port for fogger system now that you mention it.  I was wondering what that was for.

[Duffil]

how about an engine hoist and an engine lift plate bolted to the carb flange.

you know...one of these:

[Duffil]

and make sure that ALL the bolts are out.

[KDXSR5]

I like that plate idea.

[CTENG in KS]

ok...have you seen a van engine bay.  i would have to take the radiator/core support out to get a hoist in there!

[Duffil]

doesn't that thing have a doghouse?
