Been in today :) brakes are sorted, new tyres are balanced and the X brake will be here between 2:24pm and 3:24pm apparently :p


Looking forward to getting the little bastard back on tuesday, just need to hook some seat belts up to the roll cage

No truck build then? :p :lol:

Looks and sounds great though! Just don't ruin it please. :)

Interested about that over bored engine. Just ran some numbers on over bore, with 10thou it would be ~3545.9cc, 20thou would be ~3566.1cc and 40 thou would be ~3606.8cc

Has it really been bored out that much? Blimey! Didn't realise the liners on a 3.5 block were that thick. I should look that up.

Got any more information on that, receipts? Sounds interesting.

Keep the pictures and videos coming please! ;)

This kinda blew the budget on the truck build so things are on hold for now :eek:

I'll be fitting diff and steering guards to it for the laning trip later this month as well as a full straight through system on a larger bore but thats about it. May make up a truck cab for it too and it needs some seatbelts :p other than that not got much planned for it other than drivability mods like soundproofing and a smaller wheel

Making sure anything I put on can be removed and is only bolt on so it doesn't damage it......if not I'd have bought or made weld on diff pans instead of expensive QT ones :mad:


He may have rounded the numbers up to 3.6 but thats what I was told, not had a look through the receipts though
 
Thought you had gone quiet on the truck build when you started posting about this... ;)

Good, as long as you don't ruin it!!! :D

If they rounded the numbers up then its probably had a +20 thou pistons. Round 3566cc up and you get 3.6. That's a bit cheating though. :p
 
I think videos will be needed when you've got the exhaust done. And the roof off. And the doors off. :D

Listen to that V8 roar! Don't be chicken and take it to 5,500rpm easy! :violent:
 
Dunno about 5500 :eek: pretty sure thats real close to the danger zone on these isn't it?

But exhaust will get sorted next week if I have time, no idea if I'll have to modify the passenger manifold slightly but hoping not! If so I can hook everything up and run the bastard :D plan is to have them hidden behind the rock sliders just at the back of the front wheel arches
