Deranged rebuild, the next chapter

[Chvyrkr]

we had the motor out tore down. found out the block was bad tore down another motor to use the block. drop it all off at the machine shop. put it all back together and in the truck in 8 days... not bad I think! having a fast machine shop is how it was able to happen.

I was gonna post...

Remove, tear down, machine, assemble, and install... Y'all were burning some late night oil!

Lol, yeah there was a time when small block ford clutches and NP435's and I were very close.

What caused the block to be bad? Running on bad gaskets for too long?

Looked like It set for a extended period with water in the cylinders.

Having read about this truck for so many years...I tend to agree that it has some weird juju.

Get a new one lol I had mine wired to ground out when you hit the button directly to the battery. Never had an issue other than too much spray lol. .250 solenoid ftw!

Deranged needs that kind of problem ;-)

BUT the truck for once is actually going faster and faster all the time which is bad ass so the progress is there, im sure its not where everyone would want it 9s or 8s or whatever the goal originally was but hey, its making passes and i like that
