    Are you trying to go land speed racing at Bonneville? ๐Ÿ˜ That gearing should be good for 100mph.

    36hp?

    I think it has a 3.88 with an .082 in it now.. ย and with the small tires on it.. ย  I was hoping to be able to do 80 on the highway๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž. ย And about 3000rpm๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

    Been outside since I cleared it, still looking good… no washโ€™s either๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž.

    I wish I had more motivation to work on this rig. ย  I gotta get the trans out and serviced. ย Blaine is slowly putting me a case together… ย I need to work on the bumpers too… itโ€™s the logical next project for me to get done.

    No stale projects! ย ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž. Do work!!!! ย Then do some more!

    ok.. time to stop being lazy…ย  ย I gotta get this trans out of my bus so I can get Eddie to take it back to Painters with him…. Opportunity is knocking here.. ๐Ÿ˜Žย  ย Just what I need to get me rolling again… It’s hard to work on personal shit…ย  It’s harder to get back going once I stop too…ย  ๐Ÿ˜Žย  ย If I just start doing something everyday, I will be driving this rig in no time, just like my last project… ๐Ÿ˜Ž ๐Ÿ˜Ž ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    Tore the trans down this morning.. ย it did not have a super diff in it… surprised.. ย axles and fulcrums looked good… ย the fluid STUNK… ย I bet I have some bearing failures in there… ย Iโ€™m gonna set this project aside till I have everything to put it back together mechanically…. ย I have a whole engine to build and a trans to get back also.. ย and no real dead line for this… ย its been a GREAT free air BnB for visitors…. ย and can continue to be!!!!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜. ย Especially now that itโ€™s not hot out..๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž

    This time we went 3.88 with an .082!ย  That should get us down the interstate with lower rpm’s..

    It had a tag on it that said “2 liter”, but other than that I have no clue! We had it running, but it needed some more love
