Nothing new yet, but found what I basically want this runner to look like and do

Looks good it sounds like fun!

 

Pulled it in the shop today, hhad one heck of a time removing the front diff, then removed the oil pan and removed the rod caps, spun rood bearings 1,2 and 5. Guess I found my knock. I'm just gonna put new bearings for all the rods and hope for the best, don't want to put to much more money in this runner. So we will see

Ordered the bearings today will be here tomarrow afternoon, then the fun part of putting them on while the pistons are still in the engine yay=(.

Won't get much more done after that, just got to put it back together and back it out, spent 4 hrs tonight and will spend Sunday and Monday doing a timing belt water pump and head gasket on a 95 ford tarus for family

 

Did the bearings and parked it, haven't really been in the mood to touch it on the weekends, still won't run right, might have a bad tips but I'm not gonna spend money on a new one. If I can't get the truck to run or it costs me to much I may just cut it up and take my 2 trucks and make one.
