Inliners International Forums General Discussion Truck Talk 1972

I'm back... At it. So i spent my tax return money on some big parts. intake parts to build my own multiport injection, a turbo, wastegat,e blowoff valve and a shifter for the trans mission. that will give me plenty to play with this month. measuring and welding the intake will take some time but it will for sure happen. gunna clean the garage today. see if i can put the rearend back together as i had pulled it apart to paint it (rust prevention) and get the brakes to new. Well time to get after it!

Happy inlining. Josh

Just curious what material did you use for the block off plate & what welding rod?
Did you preheat the exhaust manifold before you welded it?

MBHD

Quarter in plate and just use a wirefeed lincoln 110 fluxcore it was a quick job for break in pruposes only if you clean cast up well it will weld OK if i was to be permanant i would have headed it to about 200 before welding with 110 rod people get crazy and use high nikle rod can't remember the number

I'll take a closer picture so you can see the actual weld

What turbo did you end up ordering?
Also the other parts for your turbo install.

Turbonetics t-4 with a 60-1 p trim wheel on the other side and an .84 exhaust houseig then matching it woth the turbonetics 35mm eveolution wastegate and godzilla bov

Haha not bad for some plumbers string and extra measuring

Well here it is ladies and gents the moment we've all been waiting for!! Drum roll please..

Killer! I mean that in a good way.

I know i'm super excited about the next step in that process!

Very nice!
What is the next step?

MBHD

Getting that puppy all hooked up need to finish fabing the intake still need a few parts for that.. Run oil and coolant lines get my intercooler mounted up front need to make some pipe connections so i can get the wastegate onto the manifold and plumbed into the exhaust

Need to sit down woth a paper and pencil and make a list so i can start widdling at it make things easier

Gettin back at it cleaned the garage and worked on some suspension parts yesterday today a powersteering/ alternatr bracket i pulled from a blazer with a 250 in wyomin at the girlfriends grandpas salvage yard in bigpiney/marbelton

Well been a while but while my intake is being welded I built a 3 groove water pump and got the transfer cover made a hydroboost system the steering in and lots more that I haven't posted lots of pictures to come

What exhaust manifold is that?

Spa turbo manifold for a t4 turbostill has the devider and it's molded with a waste gate port on the back

Thanks. Didn't look like an SPA for some reason.

Not a problem post so.e pictures here now

Way late to this build but super glad I ran across it! Motor and tranny are SWEET! I have a tremec behind my 292...can't wait to try it out.

Nice what clutch did you go woth? I have e a hays but I need a longer throw out bearing making it a hydraulic fork from Novak adapt just need the throw out and that's should be good couple pieces for the transfer and it's done

Got to get these injectors figured out and my throttle body and adaptdaptor just got in from maryland

What are you guys using for power steering pumps stand alone remote resevoirs?

Tj what clutch did you get for that tko? How long was your throwoutbearing?

Got the boot on for the shifter and some fire wall seals for the collumn and hydroboost

Sorry about that, I don't come on as much anymore. I never have gotten email notifications so I can't tell when someone has replied to my post lol Sorry. I went with a Zooms Clutch kit. Came with the pressure place, clutch, and bearing. Also a pilot bushing. Bolt right up fine with a stock flywheel. I'll try and look through my receipts and try to get a part number for you.

I should also mention that I stayed with the manual clutch so it may be different.

Nice I have a hays clutch it came with a throwoutbearing bearing too but it's too short I need a 2" wasn't sure if you knew how long it was

I never actually measured but I'm pretty sure it was.

good deal i actual found one from novak adjustable that will fit kind of pricey but worth it to get this project moving forward!

Josh, Lookin good!

Cool!

thanks every one got a lot done sorry haven't been on much can't se the forum from my phone for some reason

will post pictures soon

Can't wait!
