If it only took 2, I might be able to swing it.:D

Seriously though, I'm just dead tired and am trying to focus on the things that really have to be done first. If I have the time, it might get done.
 
Grinder with a cut off wheel...2 minute job. Stop wasting time you slacker. :haha:

Dude, that driveshaft stuff turned out super sweet!! :pimp:
 
Some shift knobs wacked out on the lathe. All the covers on the dash and buttoned up.

Loaded up on the trailer and just about ready to go. Not really happy with the tie down points so we'll make some changes to that tomorrow.

looks good man i like it, you should offer these on diy4x man, id say it would hold up thats pretty thick stuff

Might be a tough sell. The 3/8" is kinda spendy stuff too.
 
ahhh yea i didnt think of that, there would have yo be alot of diffrent styles for the t-cases and mounting pionts on the frames ect.... o well i guess ill have to make my own then hahahaha
 
I can't believe I've missed this build thread.
That's one awesome blazer!
Damn impressive work :bow:

I have a couple of questions though...
What stops the pump from sucking air through one of the lines when the truck is tilting to the side?

I'm probably not the right person to comment on anyones drive shaft fabrications and especially not yours, but couldn't this use some more weld at the flange? :dunno:
 
Kurt how did the EFI tuning come out? You posted you had some tweaking to do.

It starts up pretty decent. Couple of afterstart enrichment tables I could tweak just a bit to get it into closed loop a bit quicker.

Then there is the 2000 rpm thing. If you start it and it sits idle, it doesn't happen but once you drive it, it'll jump RPM to 2000 and try to stay there. Something in the gain tables is forcing the IAC open when it isn't needed. This one is my biggest concern.

Outside of that it runs awesome. Lots of power, perfect throttle response and very quick.

All 4 of the pickups are the type that close off when air is introduced. They have to be submerged to be open.

Unfortunately, I didn't take more pics of the shaft construction. The plate has a hole in the center that the yoke fits in. Yoke goes through the 1/2" plate, half way and then there is a full circle bead on the inside of the flange.
 
Just curious, why 8 bolts on the rear pinion flange and "only" 4 on the others?
 
8 bolt was the first set made. Then I convinced him it was overkill with the little engine.
