whats going away?

 

My power steering....I'm pulling it out.

Sorry to keep jacking your thread.

 

o GOD! for a minute there i thought you were going to tell me i couldnt use power steering with the 408!

why are you pulling it?

ever tried an electric vac pump? you think this engine will make sufficient vac?

 

Ok you asked...I'm pulling the Power steering because I don't have AC, and I'm installling a CSR electric water pump, to keep the alternator...I need to pull the PS pump, or run a couple extra idler pullies.

You'll be OK on brakes....Just don't tailgate anyone.

 

That would make the brake pedal rather hard to push.... probably not a good idea then.

 

why would an electric pump make the pedal hard to push?

 

Seems there was some more posting going on when I typed that.

I was referring to the hydraboost not working very well without a power steering pump.

There goes the 5k limit with that cam lol. Tuning that cam will be easy with SCT. The video (nasty)of the other is a diff story. May have to tune in open loop only, turning closed loop off for that one.

 

cleaning up all the internals with brake clean... what NOT to spray? Bearings?

 

Gonna replace all the bearings? If so, don't worry about 'em.

Make sure that you give everything a slathering of oil when you are done cleaning. That iron stuff rusts up QUICK.
