ordered a new set of head gaskets that the machine shop recommended, they'll be here on Tuesday and the real assembly will start, and no more of this mock up crap lol
also went to install the oil pan after finding all the bolts and low and behold the stock oil pan gasket for this truck will not work for the milodon oil pan, has tobe a gasket for an old LA style oil pan
go figure on the old LA style, I wouldn't have guessed that lol . is it still going to line up on the bottom end or will you need to supplement in some rtv?
went and got a LA oil pan gasket today, silicon aint gonna fill this in
called my dad and told him about it and we both looked in our engine building books and found out the magnum engines and the LA engine have the same crank journal sizes, so he's gonna send me a rear main cap from a old LA engine he has layin around...hopefull I can get this to work
anyone know anything about air/fuel gauges?
looking at buyin one for when I install the 390, but not sure what I should get.
a lot of people say to go with a wideband, but theyre $150+ for that guage, and the parts store has these two, an autometer one and a iequus one. I know autometer is a well know name brand, and iequus gauges seem to be pretty good and I like the white face on em.
just trying to figure out what the best choice is, one of these or just drop the extra cash and buy the expensive wideband on
wish I could help you on the A/F gauge but I've neer had to install one. I'd PM Kurtis (CDNoilRam) if I was you, he could probably help you out the most
I also have no real advice as I use my Samsung syncd with Bluetooth to my vehicles.
I guess I'd go with what other people recommended, the wide band. normally people won't lead you wrong, and the age old saying, 'you get what you pay for' most likely applies.
and im hoping it'll sound mean, make mothers grab there children in terror as they hear me coming:str:
I keep playin with the cutout as im cruising around as it is:hah:
Holy Banana's this build is getting awesomer, I'll invent that word for this, it works, don't judge me lol And before anyone else asks, can we get some audio clips of that cut out Seriously impressed with this whole build since I've followed from the beginning it's awesome to see it all coming together
