Darn Charlie you blowed it up real good! That little engine served you well for quite a while though.

Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

While taking the cam out I found more destruction, the front cam retainer came off in a few pieces.  The crank survived with only a few dings in the counter weights.  I don't think I will ever build another de-stroked motor, but I guess I'll keep it, it is a beautiful piece of art with a 2.990 stroke.

After complete disassembly of the engine and positioning the truck for modifications, I made a list of things to do.  I have all winter, but you know how that goes, so I better get started.

HI Charlie. You forgot to list: Repaint hood.

You are correct Ian.  Actually I intend to put a scoop on the hood as part of the new ideas for engine bay cooling.  I'll add it to the list.

First is out with the air bag system.

Coil springs are back in.





Switching from 3.50 to 2.75.

The 3rd member is back in with 2.75 ratio (hope I can make enough power to push that!).  Installed a drain plug for easier changes in the future.

I mocked up the engine and transmission to aide in fabricating a new frame cross member for the top loader 4-speed. I just lost confidence in the T-5 I was running before.

Has the T5 been problematic?
