that trip today was badass!!! seriously thinking about welding my front axle.

[Fearofrunner]

now dan you know that welding an IFS ain't gonna fix your low profile problem

[red]

low profile? i think my rig can be seen from a mile away like my freshman track team pic haha.

got around to pulling out the bad u joint in the rear. broke 2 of my hammers (head came off of one, the other the handle broke), ended up having to use my oxy acetalyne torch to cut it out.

[LOL @ IFS]

Yeah, I had a ton of fun too!  I hope you guys can make it this coming Saturday.  Red- get that job?

You didn't mess up the the mating surface on the shaft did you? Those suck every time man even with a hydraulic press they don't want to come out and when they do it explodes out of there haha kinda scary.

Ya man me and alan had a blast too thanks for the invite and thanks for the york link also.  Did you ever get your block back yet?

[red]

ya the caps are still stuck, gonna try to find somebody with a press around here. also need to replace an axle seal in the rear but i cant drain the fluid from the diff yet because the armor around the drain plug has been pushed back into the plug so i cant get a socket on it.

i'll know about the job in a few days, went to the interview yesturday and thought it went pretty well.

[LOL @ IFS]

Good luck with the job thing!  The only thing worse than having a job is looking for one. 

Block is done, but I haven't picked it up yet.  I decided to bore it .020 over because of the scuffs on the jugs.  I have an engnbldr master kit, RV head and 261 cam coming next week, as well as a new crank and rods from another source.  Basically, everything but the oil pan, valve cover, block, main caps and intake manifold are being replaced.  I'm also going to buy a Thorley header and do a 2.25" exhaust with it at some point... Deployment is coming quickly, so I'm not sure if I'll have it in and running before I head out.  We'll see.
