Almost 2 years later, finally getting back into this thing. Lil planning rework (aka my parts pile) Going back to a vert shaft engine. Most likely an oppy since I have one that was running when I swapped the other mower, as well as a 6 speed transaxle, flipped and modded to spin oposite (believe...

Havent been here in a while. Still getting out and wheeling. Jeep got a set of coopers and the s10 got a set of superduty axles.

I agree with Bird Engineering, as far as being a baja, no.

Welcome to strokers. It's also a 97 engine in an 01, anything 2000+ is cali emissions, so it would have 2 pre cats, with an o2 before and after each. One cat per "bank" 1-3 and 4-6. Running the 97 header as that was what was on the engine so now I need to pull it and weld o2 bungs on for propper...

Engine swap was done in a week, pulled friday 6/23 driving 6/30. Turns out that the engine I bought was a stroker so now I have a 4.6L.

Havent done stiffeners yet. It does have a box brace as seen in the prev post. Did get rid of a decent amount of noise up front. My driver door does open but that's a door pin/latch issue😂

Oops. 😅

Photo dump. S10 got 35s and ripped a control arm apart, I swapped axles in under 12 hrs, including setting up gears on one, ranger blew a tire apart, Jake got to see his mods at work on the cj and Jimmy broke his front driveshaft.

That pitman arm only tried to fall off once🤣

My newest kart has no nuts on the tie rod ends, just pins, enough play that you can pop the steering wheel 180° out and steer backwords.

With that tire size and current mods, should have enough torque. Gearing or clutch issue?

Engine will be off in a week or so. Going to swap axles on the jeep and need my buddy's out first

Since everythind wants to load now. Solid axle, has a funky seat, drum brakes with internal shoes, and interesting front end.

Got back out at the beginning of the month, did some good crawling. Watched Owen get stuck on his front crossmember, Jimmy send a stick through his radiator and otherwise had a good time. Here's us fixing owen's tire when he debeaded it pulling off the trailer at the beginning of the weekend...

Will take more pics tomorrow after I go grab another hatch for the jeep. Hopefully they'll want to upload this time. Yes on the American Express. Pos with basically dolly wheels welded to the axle. But free is free.
