![]() My wife has been working the last few nights and two car seats won't fit in the cab. I should get a chance to road test it tomorrow. But who knows what has been swapped out in 36 years. This 855 is the NTC 350 and I'm pretty sure it's a big cam. The return line is way too long because I think the truck had two tanks previously.Ĭruiser, I sure would like some tips on cranking this engine up when I get this issue tackled. I think I'm going to get some new fuel lines made for it. But I think I'm going to cross them off the list now. I had looked at them when I got home the other day. ![]() I put air to the filters and didn't get much of anything out of them. I hope I can figure it out without having to tear into the pump. ![]() He tried to use the can on a wire to dip fuel out. The driver had changed the fuel filter and when he was priming it. They worked on it for a month before they found a half disintegrated beer can in there that was blocking the intake every so often. He said one time he had a truck that would run great for hours and then just about die. I had an old mechanic today tell me to look in the tank really well. I'll look at them after I get my 8mo old son in bed. I never thought to check the air cleaners. It clears up really well and throws a little smoke when you get in the throttle but not black smoke. The truck smokes grey for about 10 min when you start it cold. I found electric fans on Summit for fairly cheap that move 3,000 cfm of air, not sure if I'll need one or 2.Thanks for the info guys. I want to get an electric fan to cool the coolant. Currently the fan is belt driven and runs all the time. I pulled the engine fan off to install the fuel feed to the front of the head. I did get an elbow off of the HT60 that has a v-band on it that I think can be cut and welded to my charge air pipe to solve this problem. Manifold hung and turbo hung, biggest battle I have to overcome is mating the original charge air pipe to the new HT60 with a v-band. One of the exhaust ports before grinding it.ġ-1/4" pump drive on the top, 3/4" pump drive on the bottom I got a 1-1/4" pump drive, bent new steel supply lines for the front and back of the head, port and polished my exhaust manifold, rebuilt HT60 turbo, planning on running ice water through my after cooler (I just have to finish the plumbing), and put battery boxes on both sides of the truck. I've got a bunch of work done to it lately. Then it'll be clutch and drive line work. ![]() ![]() In another couple of weeks (shooting for the first weekend of May) I'm hoping to be able to pull the truck out of the shop. Been getting some work done getting my truck ready for pulling season. ![]()
