Time for a Power Wagon!

 

Lolz -- downgrade eh? I see where you're at! Chin up buddy!

 

Ordered the EQ Heads from Clearwater directly. Pair fully assembled with 1piece SS valves and springs for lift up to 0.5 which is fine for the camshaft I installed back in 2012. Keeping the stock 1.92 size for torque. Will make it simple and use HS 1.6 non-adjustable/pedestal mount roller rockers. Get new stock push rods.

A couple weeks for them to arrive.

In the meantime, got the Art Carr / Winters shifter installed. Just need to tidy up with some side panels for some accessories.





Some mockup install spots






Final spot


Fabbed some brackets that allowed use of factory linkage






Basic frame for the shifter housing to slide over and secured with easy access side bolts.




Perfect reach and still close enough when the half doors go on.






Don't have to touch the steering column at all. Still use the O/D button.

 

O/D button is just a momentary "On" switch, you could move that wherever ya like, and get rid of the column shifter altogether.

What's the third stick for? You have an underdrive on there as well?

 

Yes it sure is a simple switch and I could do that. I'm just not seeing the benefit of that work...lol Find the wire to tap and run a new line and mount the new switch in some place. Removing the lever means dismantling...

None of that is beer worthy in the grand scheme of things. Thank you for considering the items in the queu.

Yes it is.

 

Just messing around late on a saturday afternoon.

 

Adukart, you were getting it done!! hahahah

 

95% parts here.





factory pushrods no longer available. Had to get from Hughes Engines.

 

Oooooo, pretty. You are gonna have some fun. Looking forward to watching your progress.

 

Looks like Christmas came early
