You have gotten some good use out of that gantry. That was money and time very well spent. It makes me feel like I need one, lol. The frame on that truck looks great, from here at least.
Absolutely use the hydroboost set up.... I have used them even when the rig didn't have power steering because of vacuum problems and this just does away with those issues.. I do like the HEI style distributors over the modules for Chrysler.... but believe me, circuit relays are your friend as well. Get all the power with less wiring problems
I can usually figure out why things are the way they are... But I have no idea why they ever put distributors in the rear, even if they are rarely adjusted or messed with
When I set my 440 the tranny didn't line up either, the motor mounts needed to be moved back to the rear holes, but you probably already knew that. Great video btw
You should learn how to build your own transmissions. Those 727 transmissions are really easy to build and the plus side is you save money and not have to deal with a trans shop
This is badass!!! Your channel has inspired more people than you think brother, keep being you!!!

I use it all the time lol.
I even cracked one of the 4x4's when I shoved it over to swap from the winch to the chainfall and it still works fine lol
Oh yeah 😁 coming right along.
Good work J.R. Can't wait for more
And here we are a year later and I'm not dead . . .
I don't know if you just come up with these comments on the fly, but that was hilarious.

Nothing cooler than having the distributor where you can adjust it while still on your feet

The normal car/truck mount lines up, the motorhome mount does not
i was wondering if i could use aftermarket fuel rail on oem 5.3 intake, somehow my junkyard swap has a busted rail and a drive by cable throttle
Plastic rails like the 99-06 style?
Did you have to modify anything on the engine mounts to get that big engine to sit perfectly???
Those mounts were all wrong, I wound up changing them for the style with two slots later to get the engine far enough back
Nice i have tge same truck and trying to do the same thing cant seem to find a 440 for it though specially here in south texas
I wasn't even looking and found mine lol.
At first I didn't, took three years really. Just be patient
@@TheDrivewayEngineer I appreciate the time bro
99👍's up DWE thank you for sharing 😎
What motor mounts are you using. I have a 1990 d150 I am putting a 440 in. I have been looking but I am lost when it comes to what mounts to buy
Factory 440 mounts
@TheDrivewayEngineer my motor came out of a 77 d200. should I just get 77 d200 440 mounts then?
Gettin er done.
That Street Master is a piece of nostalgia. Not great for performance, they did come out after the energy crisis started in '74.
move your motor mounts forward of the tabs not rearward
