Low lucking mini trucking tyre tucking son of a gun. Low slow and stupid is the name of the game. If I can waste a day fixing something I won’t pay five bucks to fix it. Poor man pays twice. Three times plus tax.
its already done but if you want more low u could flip the top leaf springs and clamp that together with the others and put that back in upside down. if that makes sense. so the curve of the springs go up instead of being pushed down.
@@placeholdername3206 I usually use the fittings supplies. And yes I recently purchased a large amount of ptfe hose and fittings made in China that were better than ones I had been supplied by a “reputable” performance parts supplier. I should add that’s removing the fittings and spraying the threads with some lubricant goes a long way in helping insure they can be removed later and the thread is clean. Thanks for commenting.
@@lowluckgarage My main issue with the supplied fittings on some things is the intetnal diameter is tiny. Like, you'll buy a fuel rail pr whatever with -8 fittings and the internal diameter is more like a -6. And thats where i worry that whoever makes them know they break, so they made the diameter smaller to have more material 🤔
@@placeholdername3206 thats true I have a few fittings in my collection that are clearly incorrect. I think some are a machining issue and have the incorrect size machined when finished. But like you said there a few that are suspect with thickness around a shoulder or threaded parts. With most of this stuff you are the quality control before you fit the parts 😂
I installed 2V closed chamber heads on my 351c. Single plane intake, Comp roller cam, Scorpion roller rockers, forged Ross pistons- slightly dished @ 9.5/1 compression, Milodon cam gear drive, through a FMX with a shift kit... so fun to drive my 72 Grande'...😊
Thanks for the input. That day was very windy and I was on a tight schedule to get it ready for the owner to collect and get a few other exhaust jobs done 👍
Thank you for this. Just went out and checked my F-350. Sure enough, the things got 302 heads on it. More than likely confirms what I already suspected, but that’s super helpful for me now!
It just has lowered springs. Unfortunately from a petrol model so they are not actually lowered coils just sagging from the weight of the diesel. Removed the bump stops. And welded in a shock extension so the heavy duty short travel shocks have full travel. I’m going to go back and make a few adjustments maybe coil overs ? I think the tie rod ends will need to relocated to stop them from binding.
@@lowluckgarage sweet, I’m trying to get my b1600 on its arse but because I’m running a 12a it’s heaps lighter. I’ve already chopped the coils to barely captive. I’m going to try some lighter spring rate coils out of another car to see if that helps. I have another one that’s getting bagged. Love the stance of yours
@@pj3635 We have the total opposite of problems when it comes to coils. The rotary is lite even though people say it’s not. I can lift an FD 13b with no hot or cold sides and no accessories. I have had a quick measure and look at the coils and you may be able to use E series falcon fronts ea eb ed Ef el. May be lite enough once you halve them. But live axle commodores have a similar size coil to the falcon fronts. VR VS commodores and if they are stock or stock replacements they are pretty lite coils. Worth a look if you have a local wrecker and can check them out see if they will work.
I didn’t have that problem with this one although I have seen that happen before. It responded to adjustment. Both the spring and the adjustments screw can be an issue on some FPRs. Even with the dead head carby regulators from China I had found an issue where they had no adjustments and it was the ball not seating correctly in the body of the regulator. I guess it’s quality control and a little luck sometimes.
Just slid a steel rim off our Mira under the gearbox cross member. Chassis stands don’t go so good on those river rocks and we didn’t want to jack it so high👍. Thanks for your comment and Thanks for watching.
Not sure sorry mate haven’t had to rebuild a PQY. In the past if I have had any issue like incorrect model or defects I have just had them exchanged or a new one sent out.
Good question. The Australian 302 (Cleveland) only had the closed chamber heads and this is factored into the compression ratio. Although used to raise the compression ratio on engines the closed chamber heads also known as a quench chamber is beneficial in its design. It’s a very common chamber design on lots of different brand and style heads. Unfortunately adding them to a stock (Australia) 2v 351 will raise compression a little high for regular pump fuels. But if you’re rebuilding a 351 with steel factory heads then yes there are benefits in adding 302c closed chamber heads and lowering compression with different pistons and or modifying the chamber. Research quench chamber and you will find information regarding valve operation and spark plug / ignition performance. Thanks for the question and hope this helps you in someway.
It’s been great so far and still going with no issues. I have it mounted in front of an 044 so it handled some high pressure. Thanks watching and commenting and have fun modifying.
