Driving on the street to street truck
89 MJ replied to 70barracuda's topic in MJ Hardcore Tech: Epic Journeys to Greatness
That picture looks great! Putting them away for the winter is always the most dreaded time of the year for me. -
Looking great!

Yup. When I posted the video on it, I did it on mobile.

Well, she is now put away for the winter. Not after some work though. About 90 miles, 45 towing the trailer with the engine in it, the other 45 with just the cherry picker and the trailer. I only used about a quarter of a tank. I figure I had close to 2000 lbs behind/in the truck.

I have considered putting it in a larger tractor, but that is TBD. I also think it would be cool to build a street freak out of a 58-60 Rambler American Indeed it is! Especially at the price I got it for.

A killer deal for this 348 turned up on FB marketplace the other day. It was too good of a deal to pass up, so I ended up buying it. It is super complete, has no cracks, and turns over freely. The first thing I am going to do is make sure we can get it to run. After that, I’m not sure what the plan is. The numbers on the motor come back to the engine being a 58 (built 1/24/1958), with 250 horsepower, a 4bbl carb, and a Powerglide automatic.

That is a lot cheaper and probably would be better for what my truck is used for, really.

Did the taillight get out unscathed?

Indeed it does, and I’m sure some of those wheels wouldn’t fit, but if he just needed a set of rollers at one point, there are lots of good options out there.

Hello!

Poor thing Bucket seats, drop in bedliner, and tow mirrors though. Plus the normal MJ pieces, it might be worth pulling some parts from.

Sway bars are one thing that I am considering upgrading on my truck. I couldn’t ask for better brakes—the truck will easily make you lock the seatbelt. Good call on the coils, however, it never leaned stock and the coils that are in it are used ones with a lot of miles on them. I may look at swapping them still. I don’t want more midrange power to be able to drive the truck fast or anything, but I do want a little bit more so it can keep up with some newer cars under daily driver circumstances. I am wanting more midrange torque too, if I can get it.

I’m guessing it’s an issue with the computer tune. Did you get theLS computer tuned or did you run a difference ECU?
-
Thank you. Plugs, plug wires, and 02 sensors were new the the engine swap. Temp sender for the gauge is in the head now, if that’s what you are talking about, and is also new. Fuel pressure was good when we put the new engine in last December. The only pet that hasn’t really been messed with is the TB and it was even doggish prior to the engine change.
