Ol2Stroker Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 I shouldn't have taken it apart. It was 453t powered with a 4 and a 3 but i couldn't keep ujoints in it. This all started as a simple 10 speed swap. Oops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 if you couldnt keep uni joints in with a 453 how is a 6 53 gunna fix this problem ???? I hope your checking yoke angles as you go as this seems to be the main reason unis fail all the time The little 53 series are something you either love or hate and Im most likely on the wrong side for you the 71 and 92 series are much more pleasant to drive for any distance Good luck and keep us posted Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h67st Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Looks like some nice fab work on those mounts...can't wait to see it done (post a video!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Horse Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 And keeping 4WD ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol2Stroker Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 yes we're definitely keeping 4wd. It was killing ujoints because all the old mounts were terrible and everything was moving around, also the largest joint i could get for the 4 spd was a 1310..... v6 was just because i can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ol2Stroker Posted May 15, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) fridge always full of beer. bring er round. No updates on this been busy working on this junk powerstroke. Hopefully the new color keeps it together and adds 50hp. LOL #alpinegreentheworld I named this powerstroke the choochooexpress due to this video. I bought it from a customer who didn't wanna fix it. Found a couple of used motors built 1 good one from 3. Here's a few pics. Powerstroke shop explosion. Engine on the stand is an early 99 that I wasn't planning on using, the other engine in the picture with the heads off is the one I was going to use but the kid lied to me and every single cylinder had a cracked piston. The complete engine is the out of the choochooexpress. Cylinder 6 piston out of the choochooexpress. This one didn't even show on the scan tool as bad but the second compression ring was all busted up and in the pan as well as the oil rings and this part of the skirt here. Cylinder #8 from the choochooexpress. No bueno. This is the engine that was on the stand in the first pics after I took heads from the one with cracked pistons (looked like new) and put new injector cups etc. It's now fully built out minus exhaust manifolds and after a compression test tonight (sanity check) will be ready to drop back in the choochooexpress.

h67st Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 That looks like Alpine Green on that 7.3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol2Stroker Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Sure is I'm hoping a nice dose of my favorite color will keep that pile together. Currently back in the truck and running great knock on wood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyT Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Did you try J B Weld on that piston? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol2Stroker Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) After I did the engine over I noticed the turbo was leaking oil into the compressor housing, surging really bad, and wasn't making boost. I knew exactly what to do to fix it. While I was upgrading the boost levels with a fresh coat of Alpine green I found an issue. Muuuuuuuch better.
