    Engine Obstinate Pilot Bearing removal

    Thanks, guys. I'm convinced hydraulic action won't work with the limited area on the backend of what's left of the bearing race. So, I plan to drill, tap, and grind my way to getting this b&%*@ out.

    Engine Obstinate Pilot Bearing removal

    Yeah I started with a rounded grinding bit, but I'm going to go to more of a cylinder that's squarish if you get my meaning at the back. That seems like the only thing that makes any sense to me right now and just wanted to see what other people thought. The only other two things that a...

    Engine Obstinate Pilot Bearing removal

    I've gotten myself into a pickle, here, boys. Just a simple pilot bearing swap has ruined my day. I've got a great little puller, but the bearing race is so stubborn that all I managed to do with it was gut the internals and meave myself with almost nothing to grab onto. Started with a...

    Progress Thread Father Time: High-$ anti-dent defense system

    It's one of the few remaining things on the to-do list. I installed a driveshaft pick-up & connected it, but couldn't get it working. Need to look into why. I need that to tune with 'slew rate control', which is like traction control but allows acceleration at a defined rate in each gear...

    Progress Thread Father Time: High-$ anti-dent defense system

    I selfishly took the car out without taking pics. Just had a little me-time with it. I opened up the e-cutout, and cruised to a nice restaurant in Pinehurst, and came back home. After yesterday's alignment, which was perfect thanks to "Automotive Performance and Chassis" in Apex, NC, I wanted...

    Drivetrain T56 Magnum Install '89 Fox

    I have a t56, albeit not a magnum, in all three of my cars. That can be true. And I think it's what's going on in one of my two cars with a twin disc right now. That car has a D&D aluminum bell housing with at 9:00 Fork position. I suspect the dimensions are different on the viperspec input...

    Damn... oversight on my part... Sry. This is one of the 500-rule splits. Wow...

    Fox Split Block Register

    Stock internals? That's an unusual one. Did 8t split down the lifter valley?

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    Thanks. I've got some thread sealant with PTFE to use.

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    Well, whaddya think, boys? Is it just the rear main seal? If so, it looks like it slung oil/grime upwards. Should I pull those threaded plugs and teflon tape them? It looks pretty nasty on the low end of the drivers head, too. I'll look more closely at the valve cover in that area. The...

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    Here's a look through the garage window. Not as bad here as it is over there, but we're getting our share of it. Things are all high and dry. You can see two of them in the picture, and the other ones in the trailer I just took a picture of here: Says it's 17° outside, but I'm toasty in the...

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    Thanks for the advice. Will do. They're B-springs... Progressive 430-530 front & 200-250 (some say up to 300) or so rear.

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    I don't know what your idea of getting comfy in winter weather looks like, but after getting Father Time into the trailer to make some room, here's what I have in mind: It's time to get started on some things I've put off for a while, mostly because the clutch is slipping so badly, and...

    BaT: $227k+ Coyote fox auction

    Just can't get over how much this guy let his mechanic get over. After the $11k wheels, there was the $400 charge for fitting the wheels, and then there was this: I mean... dayumn.

    BaT: $227k+ Coyote fox auction

    Yep. My gut about what it could go up to was pretty damn close, this time.

    BaT: $227k+ Coyote fox auction

    https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1992-ford-mustang-54/ Quick mental math got me to ~$227k in receipts, including as one commenter pointed out, a set of billet $11k wheels that I can't tell are different than the 10th anni wheels on Black Jack that I bought from LMR for like $800. What'ya...

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    Slight performance bump when already moving. When I build the motor for black jack, it occurs that I'm already over 150k miles. So, if I do internals, this flywheel comes with weights that allow me to go with a neutral, 28, or 50oz balance. It's the same flywheel as my other two cars, if I...
