    Bricknose Mechanical Speedo question

    Hey Guys, I've got my truck back on the road and the speedo was off by about 5, when I'm reading 35, I'm actually doing 40-41. When I'm at highway speed, I'm off by about 10, so at 65, I'm running 75. Now that I've got the lift kit on and I'm running 35's, my speedo is off by about 15 at...

    Adding switches...where??? Here??

    I used 1/4" plexiglass, sanded so the paint would stick to it. I had to cut out the useless coin tray that used to be there, then just epoxied it on. Next month I'll have a build thread started with pics, etc. after I get the truck back from the shop. -Todd

    Adding switches...where??? Here??

    Better Pics this time! Here are a couple of quick pics that I had on my phone of my current build: Custom Switch Panel Old Stereo Location, now a Gauge Panel I had the original faux-wood trim, but I painted it a flat black and then a matte clear over it to help prevent...

    Introducing TOTAL MOOSEPOWER!

    This hits the nail on the head. I consider this to be one of those "forever" engines that was built right, timed right, and will perform right! Since I was after a turn-key, drop-in solution, this completely ticks all my checkboxes. It's not the cheapest route, but then, when you look at all...

    Introducing TOTAL MOOSEPOWER!

    I'm not sure, since it wasn't listed, I would have to guess that they would be the 6.9... I can wait to see if Mel chimes in... -Todd

    Introducing TOTAL MOOSEPOWER!

    Hey Guys! I just received a wonderful early Christmas present on Friday! "][/URL] That's right, it appears to be a new Moose Engine! I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Mel and Suzi over at Conestoga Diesel and they definitely live up to and beyond the reputation they have...

    Fitment Question: Hypermax Turbo and factory airbox/filter

    Hey Guys, Quick question for you all who have more expertise than I: Mel from Conestoga Diesel is currently building a Moose Engine for me and I will be going with a Hypermax turbo and the Hypermax Intercooler setup. Will my existing factory airbox/filter still work or will I need to...

    Best way to sell a motor?

    ROFL! I simply cannot argue with that amount of truth! :D I've edited my posts to reflect as such... lol So does between $400-700 sound like a reasonable price for each? The OBS has a digital odometer so that mileage is accurate whereas the bricknose has the old analog (rotary?)...

    Best way to sell a motor?

    Very cool! I teach software, so I don't get to do as much "hands on" as you probably do. Space is at a premium currently, so I'm not sure storing it would work. But it sounds like there really isn't a market for used IDI engines per se? Basically if I happen to find someone looking for it, I...

    Best way to sell a motor?

    LOL! I couldn't agree more! I'm speaking more from an ignorant/inexperienced point of view when it comes to selling these 2 engines. My main goal is to get my truck built and set up the way that I want it. If these engines would bring $700-1000 each the way they are, then I don't want to be...

    Best way to sell a motor?

    Interesting, I was thinking of possibly trying to sell it to a junkyard but I haven't done any research yet... I wonder if I'd be lucky to get $1000 for it... Looks like I need to do more homework... -Todd

    Best way to sell a motor?

    All great points... I'm not looking to make a ton of money, but I'm a little leery (read lazy) about dealing with Craig's List flakes as well. I could just send the engines with what's left of my 92 truck (donor vehicle) to the junk yard for what they will give me, but if these 2 blocks are...

    Best way to sell a motor?

    Best way to sell an engine? OK Folks, I have a fall project that is going to be starting in a couple of months and I'm looking to cover some bases... I have 2 trucks where the engines are coming out and I am replacing them with a Total Moose Power block from Mel. We are currently...
