Been working on getting a lot of the crap done before the wheelin season hits...
First was I got one of my front shock hoops finished the other day. Tell me what you think. Not a radical new design, but it replaces the over-priced Duff hoops that I hadand gives me a lot more room for new shocks. I can finally put a 9012 up front...

Here's what I started with. Can you say bump steer?
Hoop looks good and so does the lift bracket. Nice job!

Finally, the motor.
I put a new custom ground Crane cam with the 351 firing order to match the SEFI. I'm hoping to get better idle, power and gas mileage from this. I am also getting rid of the shitty v-belts and doing a serpentine conversion. The bracket on the right will house my A/C compressor which will be the pump for my on-board air. It's starting to look like a motor again!

Damn Jack! You have being ripping the shit out of that. Nice work! I have got to do that same trac bar bracket for the hydro assist setup.

Thanks guys, I'm hoping to have it back together by this weekend. The new fuel rails should be in tomorrow so I should be able to fire it up then. Then it's break the cam in with open headers time. Ohhh yeahhh, the neighbors are going to love that!
I got the setup for front and rear disc brakes as well. All I need is one more spindle and I'm ready to go with those as well.
Almost ready to wheel!!!!
