jim ,looks great ,are you running the impco propane ,model e/200 carb ,elec or vac lock off?:) also it is better to run the vapor line low(just opp the way its now) so the accumliaton of oils will feed to the carb/engine(so it wont pool in the regulator)

[JimandMelissa]

jim ,looks great ,are you running the impco propane ,model e/200 carb ,elec or vac lock off?:)

Come get it anytime. It has a 2 5/16 hitch. Or you can use mine if you have a 2" receiver. And if all that doesn't work you can take my truck. I have another car now.

We scooped up an Expedition. I have plenty of hitches. I'll give you a call in a week or so.

The pressure tank drives the 2 big turbo fans for propulsion when traction degrades and uphill momentum is required.:cool:

It's not that funny Dave.

[JimandMelissa]

It's not that funny Dave.

Go easy on him Dave.

PE is a serious medical condition. If left untreated, it can have serious emotional consequences and destroy relationships. I've spent years sacrificing myself for Craigs inadequacies in hopes of helping him maintain some semblance of a normal home life. Now that he's moved so far away, it has become more difficult to help my brother in his time of need. My hope was that shedding some light on the issue might encourage him to seek some professional help.

[JimandMelissa]

Do you see any drive axles? Well do ya?:eek::eek::eek:

We have the axles. Just need the boots.

[onerich]

Funny stuff (Sorry Crag didn't know )

[DUNE DUMMY 29]

IT IS GETTING CLOSE NOW. IT LOOKS REAL NICE. CISCO IS RIGHT. IT IS A FLUX CAPACITOR. DON'T NEED NO STINKIN AXLES.
WHAT KIND OF BOOTS ARE YOU GOING TO RUN?
JIM I AM SOOOO GLAD YOU ARE TRYING TO GIVE CRAIG THE HELP HE NEEDS.

[Beach Leo]

Way-Sick Build:D

[JimandMelissa]

Way-Sick Build:D

I wanna bring it up to your place sometime.

[onerich]

J&M , what kinda miles can one do in a set up like this ? I know it not built yet but just wondering :)

[JimandMelissa]

J&M , what kinda miles can one do in a set up like this ? I know it not built yet but just wondering :)

This set up in a Toyota truck will go 8 hours of hard wheeling on 4-5 gallons. I'm about half the weight. I thinking all day on a tank with fuel left over.

Really no way to know for sure until we get out there. After we add the turbo the mikeage will go down about a gallon more per day.

Hardcore crawlers are using about 3 gal per day.

Fully loaded Jeep around 13 mpg.

[JimandMelissa]

Spent the day at the shop again today. Got alot more done. Just a few little things left to get.

I offcially have all the parts to make the engine run now.

Things left to do:

Brake lines - need a couple little fittings
Install axles - need the boots
Check throw on the pedals and adjust as necessary.
Cut gauges into dash
Some wiring. Only takes 4 wires to run the engine !!!
Finish power steering lines
Make the roof panel

[onerich]
