post up some pics max of the falcon. Sounds like you piced out a good head/cam/intake combo to make some good power. do you know what the heads flow at?


I havn't decided on what i am going to do this winter. I am either going to do nothing and save money or bring out my land cruiser to kansas from virginia and start rebuilding it and doing a motor swap.

After a Port job from Keith Craft, Intake flow will be around 330 exhaust 180-220 at .600 lift.
I'll post pictures as we go.

The land cruiser project sounds like fun. I hope you start on it. What engine are you going to swap into it?

1. Finish painting the trim on the house.
2. Set the foundation for my new amateur radio tower.
3. Fix the damage done by vandals to my late parent's home, which is now my guest house.
4. Detail the Blue Beast.
5. Detail the Clipper Dawg.
6. Move our family business office to the guest house, and turn the office in the main house into an expanded amateur shack.
7. Take some time off and go to the lake with the fiver and recharge.
8. Finish the walls on my steel span building to close it up and make an expanded workshop.
9. Learn Morse Code.

My winter project will be to stay warm and of course laugh at Crumm when he is :crumm and :red and :skate and :cold 3 cuz its 80 degrees colder there than it is here.
You are a really nice guy :bootyshak

I would think doing house projects in below freezing weather would not be fun.
Not fun at all which is why around here they get done during the summer.

This summer - new boiler, new shower in upstairs bathroom, new culvert for driveway, tree thinning and new windows for the living room.

Winter- Finish up project 42' GPW, little work on 76' F250 so I can sell it and Crummy will get axle cover installed-accumulator tank for air bags-Taurus electric fans-front receiver-new aux switches. Along with these projects I work 80 hours a week all winter and try and stay in the house by the fire :sweet

well plans might haved chaned over nite. I found another land cruiser on base that is cheap and the old lady loves it so we might just buy it and save me a trip back to va to pick up mine.

When ever i get around to swapping out motors i am going to put a late model GM ls motor in it.

Sure is nice of you to do all that work for me...:clap:

As for me, I will probably treating every day like any other day. It cools a bit here, but to many it is a nice spring day in the deep part of winter.

Primary chain case is great fun. Adjuster bad, 95? Chain out of alignment? leaks? All of the above?

16 years in, it could be a number of things. May not be the youngsters doing. Have you had the door off the tranny off and the gears out at any point? My last Sporty had trans gremlins.
