sweet! man, that is one heck of a alt bracket!! I have the same set up off the 88 B150 318 that was non-a/c with a idler pullys where the a/c comp bolts in.

how long do you want to wager the yellow paint stays on the headers?

they do look cool engine color

now days mine are rust color, I used to paint them flat white. but in the ened it always burns off.

I run a gasket when I have one in hand, if not I dont run one.

either way should be no problem.

a know lol I was not sure if I was supposed to mount the 318 in the first set of hole's or 2nd on the k-frame??? it's mounted to the 2 right now so look's like that's where she is staying.. got the cross member for the tranny in, pulled the cross member out of my parts 74 power wagon w200, she bolted up but need to fab up the 2 bracket's that mount to the bottom of the frame, the 1's I got are about 2-3" to long got the core support sanded, tomorrow will be sanding down the rest of the inside of the front clip an painting it.. also what's your guy's thought's on the ol $50 rustoleum roll on paint job?? I seen a few pic's of car's done with it an they don't look bad, I wont be able to afford a real paint job this year but wouldn't mind getting rid of this yellow..

hey guy's little update, found a set of tranny line's at a junk yard, was going to build my own bt for $55.00 each I passed an found a set at the J/Y for $10.00 I painted the inside of the cab tonight, I went to install the new oil dip stick tube (mr gasket) broke that trying to get it in so off to the J/Y tomorrow to get a stocker.. got the header's on, that was kind of a pain but it's done .. I do got a question on the drive line, I bolted the drive line up tonight an every thing fit's but on the slip yoke there maybe 1/2" to a 1" of travel that enough or do I need to get the drive line cut??

Hey Lifted do you still have the inspection cover for the tranny? My brother inlaw just picked up a Rancharger with a 4spd and its missing the inspection cover. Pm me with details on price if you have it. Thanks
Keep up the good work. youll be burning rubber in no time

Inspection covers are overrated. I haven't used one for years on various different vehicles.

slip yoke like a auto/4spd you slide the slip yoke on the spline's.. I think it's to long, there is maybe 1/2" of travel from the slip yoke to the drive line, now what I was thinking is maybe cutting 1/2" off the spline's on the drive line, I don't want to cut 1/2 of the drive line it's self an weld it back up ect, I talked to a drive line shop an said they have done this before.. what do you guy's think?? an 76 I used the inspection plate but I think I got another let me dig around..

When the driveshaft is bolted in you want 3/4" to 1" of slip...


I am truckless..

well guy's an gal's I fired her up a few day's ago an boy dose she sound good!! today I installed the quick silver shifter an cable, picked up some heat tape from ace hardware rated at 600 deg wrapped the cable an also built a heat shield for some extra insurance.. had to replace the freeze plug on the driver's side head I had to put a heli coil in the last headerbolt an ran the drill in the side of it, didn't notice tell I filled it up with water but got that replaced wasn't to bad. think I need to double gasket the header's, I feel a little air comin out of them but easy fix.. only thing's left are to drop a seat into it, inner fender, grill, drive line, an a few odd's an end's like lowering it.. but man am I happier than a bull in a china shop!!!

Save the hassle of the double gaskets. Pick up a set of the Remflex gaskets. Look them up.. The best exhaust gasket I've ever used.
