Are any of you going to be at Elko boggin ( www.elkoboggin.net ) ??
I really want to be ready in time. I got my tires mounted, and I put them on the burb. Those pics are in another thread. While I was outside, I snapped a few other pics I thought I would post.
I'm gonna have to put new wood in this trailer
While I was mounting the tires the FedEx guy came hauling butt up the driveway with my gaskets from summit. I think for time's sake (since the ebrock baseplate gaskets come in sets of 2 anyway) I'm just gonna mount my Ebrock carb to the stock manifold, and see if I can get her running right. Later on I will mount my Ebrock intake to save weight and add a bit of power.. I'm just praying I can get this thing running right before the bog. Which brings me to a quick question.. What in the world is that metal thing in the center of the felpro 1256 intake gasket I got??
I don't think I've posted any pics of the engine since I installed it. Here's the motor I bought from a ck5er, which I'm going to put the edelbrock on soon in hopes it will run right.
I came up with a great idea to gain ALOT better depature angle... Simply move my liscense plate up onto the barn door, cut a bit of the rear bumper in the center, and flip this trailer hitch upside down.. does that sound like a decent idea?
And last but not least, I thought yall might enjoy seeng the carnage I put my DD/towrig through the other day. I was hauling off some yard work and it was a bit muddy behind my barn. I kinda slid into a gate.
If anyone is gonig to ELKO boggin (email me if you need directions and live in Ga), I will see ya there. And hopefully make it through the bog at playtime.
Thanks,
James
