Shackles and leaf hangers are going to get painted tonight!

What kind of bushings/bearings are you using in the shackles?

[ESHALLBETTER]

They are 1.75" OD chromoly sleeves and delrin bushings I had left over from Pro-2 lower A arms.

DYNO TIME NEXT MONDAY!

Woohoo!

OK! Yesterday was the big dyno day for me. My goal for this motor was 400hp and 400ft/lbs torque. My initial break in and runs were all done on 102 octane. After playing a bit with jetting, I could not get past the 391hp mark, but I did just kiss 400 on torque. I added a 1" "super sucker" carb spacer, and started seeing hp numbers in the low 400's! Once I was dialed in we started running 91 pump premium in the motor. My compression ratio is 10.64:1. The motor made more hp and torque on the pump gas than the race fuel! This was a huge success for me as I wanted to be able to run pump gas! I ended the day at about 410hp and 408 ft/lbs of torque. The torque curve is real nice and it makes good power without revving real high so it should be really reliable!

Saweeeet! What factor in the build would create more HP and torque on pump gas?

[Becks_Bronco]

lower octane fuel actually has more potential power, it just detonates easily. Race gas allows you to run more timing = more power. If you can keep the detonation away, and run more timing, the pump gas will make more power.

Great numbers, keep up the progress!

Bitchin' Erik! It sounds great!

[philofab]

What EGTs were you hitting with pump gas?

[lamarche471]

Sounds good. What caused the smoke off the passanger side header at the end of the run?

[ESHALLBETTER]

You know, I honestly do not remember. Looking at the video, the EGT turns from blue to green at 1000° so I would guess somewhere around 1400-1500° I am not really familiar with where "too hot" would be so I may be way off, but the guy running the dyno shop was not concerned. If you are interested in an exact number I could probably all him.

Quiet Brad! I had a couple of loose bolts on the front of the oil pan and got a little oil blowing off. We torqed the pan again and it solved the problem.

[lamarche471]

Well thats good to hear it was nothing major. It sure does look good.

[ESHALLBETTER]

Yep, nothing major, just a couple little embarassing loose bolts on my end... Welcome to the site by the way!

Lamarche, good to see you on here!

Thing sounds amazing E.

[ESHALLBETTER]

Thanks man, I'm really excited to get it in the truck!

I apologize I forgot about the quickner for you... Let me know if you still want me to check on it or if you got it taken care of!

[Joxracing]

I was just about to PM you! ha.
No biggie, its not like we're in a hurry or anything

If you got that one at the swap meet, i'll take that one. If you wanna pm me with the total that'd be great. Remember, I'll gladly rock U-Weld stickers for cheaper parts!

Thanks E.

[lamarche471]

Thanks..Eric do you plan on running the bronco this year?

[ESHALLBETTER]

Yes, I am hoping to run a few events, but I am not class legal, so it will basically a fun run for me. I should be the only guy on 35's with bypasses!
