    My Big Blue Ox build....

    I'll be around St. Maries for a week but should make it up to Sandpoint sometime. The price is? I just pulled it because it seemed like something to not crush. I saved most of the small parts with it drive shafts and such. I guess the price is what you think it's worth, to me it is just a core.

    My Big Blue Ox build....

    I got a auto out of a 93 4x4 if you need. Don't know what shape it is in but it worked good enough to crash the rig. And I'm headed to northern Idaho in about 3 weeks.

    $5000.00 IDI build

    Last summer I rebuilt a 6.9l and I came in somewhere at $5900. That was balanced with a luk smf and clutch, arp studs, Type4 cam, moose JR., Moose Misters. A killer deal on a Ih master kit, and all the little parts, paints, and so on. Oh and a bunch of valve guides and a hand full of used valves.

    good compression on all 8 cylinders, only runs on 4?

    so what kind of intake carb set up do you have? If it is a dual plane intake could be a carb issue. Which 4 cylinders does it run on? 2 on each side?

    I pulled apart a 93 awhile back and there was a stack of shims behind the crank pulley. There were 3 fairly thin shims of varying thickness.

    not sure the years but my 6.9 takes a nut with 3/4" socket 1/2" stud? I got a 7.3 out of a '89 and they take a 18mm Metric stud maybe.

    Finally getting another engine

    Engine is back in and running. Hydr boost is great. The smf is a little noisy. Need to upgrade the turbo, Don't know what to do there. What I would like to do and what I can afford don't match up so I'll have to live with what I have for awhile. Thats my oil recovery tank worked good caught...

    Finally getting another engine

    It was something I picked up in a trade a few years back. Don't know much about it but I like the configuration. As far as I can tell it is a Bobs Auto Engineering kit from way back. They are still around playing with turbos for gassers. Thanks! I like it also wish there was money in the...

    Don't know? For now I'll run the BAE one I got. Haven't put a lot of thought into it yet. Kinda shy on cash also. When I everything in and running will see about changing it up?

    Turbo Intercooler Sizes/Upgrades

    I'm putting an intercooler in my '86 it is out of a 04? dodge. I did have to cut it down a little. The inlet and outlet are 3". I think I may be it the market for a different turbo sometime in the future. I would like to run 2.5" piping as that is what is on my intake hat and maybe a little...

    Finally getting another engine

    So it's been a little while. Here are some updates. Got the engine together and ran it on the stand. Good thing there were a couple of water leaks that I fought with a little. Does anybody know which timing covers have the dimples stamped in around the water pump? One of mine did but to many...

    Finally getting another engine

    I ended up just tapping it also. almost ready to start. A few fuel and return lines. I managed to put a hole in the radiator while it was sitting around got it soldered up sort of. The water pump gasket is leaking, I hope that it's the only leak. With any luck it will be ready to install by...

    Finally getting another engine

    This is a spare engine. I am using new oem pistons. I shaved them a little got the protrusion to .021" to .23". It is a older block with press in squirters. I may have some issues with the intake gut will face that when I get there hopefully in a few hours.

    the problem I had was getting the thread deep enough. Tap would only go in so far then bottom out against cylinder wall. What size are the 429 freeze plugs?

    Finally getting another engine

    So this is the start if a rebuilt engine for my rig. I have been collecting parts and trying to decide what I was going to do for about 3 years now. So what I decided was 6.9 is the least expensive base engine for me to put together so I had a little left over for some of the extras I wanted...
