[79coyotefrg]

open to opinions here guys???

[79coyotefrg]

anybody ??

[MiniSimp]

Aussie?

[79coyotefrg]

aussie is good   seem to be stronger that lockrut from what i here

[TOYJOETA]

   I have Lockrights front and rear in my truck,  They work good off road but arent the funnest on road,  Every ounce and a while they let out a big bang, but so far everyone that I have talked to says that their's do this to.  If I did it over again i would have Spooled the rear, and detroited the front. my

    Don't mean to jack your thread but you seem to know a little about good engine parts,  I am in the process of saving some money to convert my truck to Propane and turbo it,  The engine has 164,000 on it.  but the head is a new LC street performer head and TRD stage 2 cam,  I want to O-ring the block, and use .075 Keith Black Hyper pistons, with total seal rings.  That's all I really know right now, What are some other good things i can do to help out the performance and keep the relability.  I would like to keep about the same compression because propane is 110 octane.  What are some good fairly priced rods and maybe a new crank.  If there is anything else you could add It would be much appriciated

[79coyotefrg]

dude, what year block are you going with and   why run the stock compression ,     propane can handle 12:1 compression

[79coyotefrg]

do you mean .75mm KB pistons ??  same as .030 "

[TOYJOETA]

Yah i figure propane could handle that much but I want to run about 10-15lb's of boost from the turbo.  I have an 85 22REC,  I think the KB pistons on Beck's site say .075 which is close to the 94mm that I would like to do since i cant afford to stroke it, i figured I would punch it out as much as possible.  What kind of rods and bearing should i use, should I just get my old rods shot peened?  cause money is a major factor.

[79coyotefrg]

just run some clevite bearings and have your rods and crank balanced

[79coyotefrg]

  well time for a update,    the rear diff is getting MIG welded

assembly of the block started today   man i need a digital    these  would make great rebuild pics  nice shiny polished crank,   shiny red engine paint ,  got some goodquality chrome paint  for all the aluminum, could have stuck the tranny on today but i didnt get the flywheel surfaced and stepped yet

[TOYJOETA]

Sounds Awsome, to bad you don't have a camera, would deffinetly make for some sweet pics.  when your done you should try and race bigmike.

[BUBBA]

[79coyotefrg]

waiting for some sun

[79coyotefrg]

ok, today i picked up a set of s10 springs and used the 3rd leaf to replace the 3rd leaf in my front springs,   had to use some allthread to pull it together enough to get my 8inch C clamp on it

[BUBBA]

  

[79coyotefrg]

pics coming soon

[79coyotefrg]

  man is it hot got the springs put back on the front, using a cutoff wheel on the 4 inch grinder to remove the torque rod mount from the frame,  did i mention the box fan leaned agaoinst the bumper for a little airflow 

[BUBBA]

Yeah it's hot,just changed my oil and had to come in and change my drawers cause they was soaked.Now im sitting in front of the fan, 8)

[79coyotefrg]

well that dang torque rod hanger is almost off,  maybe if i get down there early in the morning well, i finally got the 84 front housing installed and all my innards back inside.    gotta get the old girl rollin so i can get back and forth to work,  i'll have the block and tranny installed by the weekend if the heat eases up

[Willy Mammoth]

Keep a bucket of ice water next to the truck so you can dunk your head in it once in a while. that will keep you cooler so you can work. I have done this when I worked on the roof all day in 157* heat in the blistering sun, so I know it works.

Now get that thing done so you don't have to sit your    home.

[79coyotefrg]

all 4 tires back on the ground, 

[79coyotefrg]

the block and tranny are resting nicely in the truck,      more to come i have pics just not develpoed yet

[yotaboy79]

yesterday i picked up a 84 front housing , another tcase for cheap, anybody need one??

how much??

[79coyotefrg]

how much??

$50  but shippings gonna kill ya,  but if your going to MCR4 i could maybe get the Willymammoth's to bring it up

[79coyotefrg]

well,  i have the tcase mounted and crossmember back in,

yotaboy79  did you have to cut your floorboard ??  i had to move my tranny shifter hole left 2 inches and cut the piece between it and the tcase hole out, so i could bring the crossmember all the way up,
and when i was putting the rear 3rd back in i messed up one of the studs somehow ,so it has to come back out tomorrow, unless i can get the stud out

[yotaboy79]

yeah but not much ill run out and take a pick for ya real quick, ill definetly take the t-case for 50 bucks if you bring it to mcr4

[yotaboy79]

here ya go as you can tell i didnt do the prittiest job of cutting it

[79coyotefrg]
