Scott in Bellingham

welcome hope we can help Im in need of a ignition distributer and housing from a early EJ engine if you have access to a junk yard thanks Scott

Jeff whats the skinnie on overnight camping? can we set up any where or?? just certain spots

may be using this joint for the front of wishybone instead of the truck hub/spindle thing ,that hud is just to big , its currently on a ranger pickup frontend

here ya go I just went out and took it, hopin to change out moter this week maybe finish it by saturday , need to find some small tail light I can hide up in that hole

nissan 720 pickup truck this will be the frontend some ideas

heres some parts complete front axle from unknown vehicle Heres the parts I will be using to make up the rear wishbone 1 link SJR wompus

only thing I remember about Trolls is when I was a kid they seemed to always want to charge a Toll to cross the Bridge and I can do without that :grin:

if you need more hammers I have a few

time for a change, since I chopped off the back I havent liked any of the configurations I have, I didnt like the spare tire on the back as I couldnt see out the back to back up, I didnt like the hatch bolted on without being able to open it a sthen I had to reach threw the side door to get the gear and I didnt care for the back being like a pickup caus all my stuff got rained on , so in the shop I go , will end up having a workable hatch,no stock lights at the rear corners and some better protection and clearence at the rear also other stuff to do put the dash back in as I havent had one since I replaced the heater core, replace some or all the doors with straight ones of many colors, replace the engine as this ones got a bad blown head gasket at the same time add some Delta torque Cams to that Webered EJ22 may even paint this bad boy bright yellow here it is stock first mod I really like this look pickup style the future

me too need some Elfs or Gnooms

I can take it, Im used to others giving me a hard time and telling me how they would do it different, Ive been called all sorts of things

may just been bound up , if it happens again stick it in reverse and try to shift as you roll backwards

the front ball on the wishbone looks like a trailer ball 2-5/16 dia will fit into a thick wall 2-1/2 " pipe with 10 thousands clearence Haaaa Haaa

Now on that pivot piece that comes off the upper framing, whats gonna go on the bottom of that, is it just gonna be a domed piece of solid metal and then that cross bar/brace will ride on it, or are you gonna have some type of rubber bumper to cushion it? thats a transverse (lateral) leaf spring, like this front one on a Model T Ford 1908 design Hee Hee

heres some specs on some cams I got for a EA82 , not really sure what it all means doss anyone know?? I basically want to know if its for low end torque or for hi RPM power thanks Scott Intake and Exhaust Lobe Center seperation= 110.4 cam degrees Valve Overlap = -16.9 crank degrees Intake Valve Opening = -8.4 degrees BTDC Lobe Center = 99.8 degrees ATDC Valve Closure = 30.3 degrees ABDC Duration = 201.9 Crank Degrees Max Cam lift = .26457 In. Net Valve lift = .39685 In. Lobe 'Area' = 19.91 In./degrees Exhaust Valve Opening = 32.4 degrees BBDC Lobe Center = 120.9 degrees BTDC Valve closure = -8.4 degrees ATDC Duration = 204 Crank degrees Max cam lift = .26429 In. Net Valve lift = .39644 In. Lobe 'Area' = 20.35 In./Degrees

its similar to a "wishbone" suspension like on the ole fords model Ts and As , Ive never seen this setup it just made sense to me, with that back on a pivot I will probably run some airshocks to adjust how stiff I want it

welcome are you in australia? if so I neeed a EJ disty and housing Scott

the whole rear of the body will need modified , will keep stock deck lid and lid seal frame rest will be custom to allow for wheel flex, , zzzzzzzzzzzz

OK I worked up a price, I dont like it but its what I can do at this time maybe if I find other suppliers I can bring this down, looking at sizes 14 x 6 or 15 x 6 , if there is interest I would like to do 20 wheels if no interest this will just sit as I do not have the funds for this project, I would require prepayment if you want a set then give me 6 weeks to make it happen, also will need to decide what color white or black for the whole bunch $ 155 each wheel powder coated or $ 115 each wheel bare steel you paint

cool

$800 as it sits right now thats with stock 13" tires and a bad/no moter , and stock bumper, the cars never ever been wheeled off road, pretty straight for its age

are you going to post that vid of up on that mud hill were I turned around??

Been over a year on this build thread, when do you plan to have it trailable???

heres what Ive been thinkin for the rear flexizer , just a little mockup I did on a old Datsun model

Jeff you should mount uo them wagon wheels in the back ground , now that would be somthin
