@MisterAdam-jj5jv i hadn't fully committed to an LS swaps yet as it's one of those trends everyone had done, it's still got a plain Jane 305. I have to do a little freshening up on the old tub so it can hit the road again

@cb3391 I found some on ebay and while back and I believe amazon has them too.

👍

@@charlesjohnson8226 they are strong trucks

@@brianbloom1799 It's better than letting cars rust away that no one else will mess with because of costs. This was a $500 body that would've ended up scrap if I didn't get it.

@brianbloom1799 And it's just an opinion that trucked out cars don't look good, those of us who do body/frame swaps love em, same as low riders and people who restomod cars with all kinds of stuff. Body swaps are just another category of old car building, not everyone is trying to spend $60k to build a car to stock, we'd rather build something unique.

@brianbloom1799 I know parts are available for every car I've worked on, but not everyone has thousands of dollars or a whole resto shop to break down a car to reassemble it to factory standards. It's those reasons the classic car hobby has gotten ridiculous over the years because of people taking otherwise affordable cars and building $100k restos, making anything but junk unattainable for the average guy. The cost of the aftermarket does the same making those of us with lesser means have to resort to all kinds of backyard engineering something car we can enjoy from the junk we can afford.

@@joegadd no there wasn't any way to do so easily without open access to the oil pump, at least no way I know of. I just make sure to lubricate all parts well during assembly.

@RICDirector I do like the 1077 myself, it would be kind of cool to mod out that gun just for the fun of it all the way up to and including power mods. We'll see. As for the rats, drop em.

@olivahuerta6379 knowing me it was probably gasket maker.

@cheneyhwy4536 If we can't laugh at ourselves and crappy situations we would end up going nuts...then again some would think we're already nuts trying to fix some of this stuff, but that's cool too, I'd rather be nuts knowing I can take care of my stuff 😁😁😁

@@robbiexiong3508 i hate the springy clamps 😖😖😖

@@fernandogarcia9634 I looked at that and didn't want to stress the other mounts jacking the engine/trans up without disconnecting them; it took less time for me to pull the pan than to disconnect the mounts and realign the powertrain to remount everything.

@edgardoestrada313 any coolant that's recommended for Asian vehicles, usually red or yellow, prestone has a number of selections. I use generic yellow stuff from AZ, at least when all is working and I'm not losing coolant, otherwise it's whatever I get my hands on until car can be fixed.

@@TheImprovisationCenter thank you got your self a new subscriber 🫡

@@josephscirica7222 standard and automatic transmissions are different. Mine had no clearance.

@johnnunez3451 mine were ebay specials as well, I can't recall the depth being too shallow. I'd hate to think that some kind of shim would need to be added to snug them up in the buckets...

Yea mine wayyy too Loose in there 🤦🏽‍♂️

@johnnunez3451 it's a roll of the dice with a lot of ebay stuff; close/ within range tolerances are always hit or miss.

@@TheImprovisationCenter yup. Gonna return those. Ordered some octane ones. By any chance do you know bulb type for hi and low beam? The kit I got came all the same

@johnnunez3451 from what I've seen the H7 bulbs are the 2 prong type. The H4 bulbs will fit but have a different layout where they use switched grounds with the polarized LED chips. Other than rearranging the wires on the plugs, they won't be a direct fit from my experience.

@Ntobeko-l9q with greedy plants like tomatoes and cukes that are grown and producing I check every week or so, making sure levels don't go down to expose any more than a third of the roots. Even then it's just a small amount to keep the level in a mid range so the air roots stay exposed while the rest of the roots can drink. In a pinch I could go 2 weeks but would have to keep a portion of the roots underwater and not let everything go dry. Can't submerge too many of the air roots.

@@izacgaetaniello1008 I think at one time I used a slide hammer with a horseshoe piece for breaking the axle free. I had to "modify" the piece to make the opening wider to fit around the body of the inner portion. It was a pain.

@@TheImprovisationCenter gotcha. i have the same slide hammer piece. did you put the fork attachment behind or in front of the engine block mount

@izacgaetaniello1008 I had to use it on the drivers side but I put it on the large knuckle piece right where it sat in the transmission. I'm not sure of the clearance on the right side but I would like to think it should be achievable

@@juntjoonunya9216 keep watching

@@leilaniwilliams7306 lol

@punkrockdavid I got the unit off ebay, was the lower powered unit.

@justintime8176 glad I can be of service!

@nyrainman4897 I never broke down the mag itself. I'd hate to think a newly made mag is being made by lower quality standards compared to those of 25 years ago. Did you try another rotary clip to see if maybe the problem lies there? Since everything's plastic near as I seen, the lever that advances the clip is probably damaged or just not long enough to grab the teeth on the clip.

@scrapenbass493 I went with generic off of ebay, had decent luck with em

@nyrainman4897 there would be a little co2 blow by between the magazine and output of the valve. Main thing is asking sure no gas is heard hissing from anywhere between shots. I can see only getting 24 good high powered shots on the high powered version of the gun. The valve I installed ended up being the weak sauce version that gave me velocities comparable to a co2 pistol so the co2 cartridge lasted longer for me.

@merkey After about 100k miles it revealed the other flaw in these engines where heat built up behind the intake caused 3 or 4 head bolts to work themselves free and booger the threads to the point that the block will need thread inserts. I'm in the process of building the old engine but there's more to the engine than any old school setup.

@@evanmolnar1351 It was a 94 Ranger frame

Here's the link to the ebay listing for what I had, I believe it's the lower powered one though based on the recessed innards as well as the weaker chrony numbers I got. www.ebay.com/itm/291300535991?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=2Q0YM1uwQ3S&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=0LBjhct9Rky&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Yes thus car is definitely not made for the backyard mechanic in mind...

I guess I should have just watched the rest of the video first. 😂 I see as I’m finishing watching it you answered my question. Thanks again video was a great help

That's the main reason I kept the roof size to about 6ft, between the wind and even the extra framework required to try and support all that extra metal, I can keep extra forces down so hopefully this stuff will last.
