Thread: My Animatronic/Pneumatic prop

Tweet

you gotta get back on this super job ...

Matt, here are photos of the new project. the F 100, I would post more but this is a Halloween forum lol. I am just 1 day away from finishing it. I put an overdrive 52 mercury transmission in it. I also overhauled the engine and grinded down the valve ports air intake and exhaust to open it up more. Due to more airflow getting into the cylinder I was able to gain around 10hp for each piston I have, so a total of 80 more Hp....... I just need to pull the transmission and put a new push bearing in it, i got it all together and it drives nice and fast but there is a rattle from the transmission when I step on the clutch and release. It is a small gremlin that needs working out. there is also a small knock coming from the engine when it runs cold, but it goes away once it is heated up, it is not the brass sleeve bearings or a loose piston, its probably the gas pump rod spring thats loose, or the oil pump rod is slightly rubbing against the crank shaft.... I will have to see....

Looks good. I have Mustang I used to play around with but haven't done much to it since I've been married.

sry to hear that... OOH what year mustang? is it a mach 1 72? Those are so pretty. I also like the 69 boss 302, they are a bit pricey though. I am the Ford type of person, I laugh at those Chevy goers. I am glad you like mustangs. How far along is your project car?

I wish it were one of those! It's just an 85 GT though that has the usual basic mods: cam, heads, carb, equal length headers, intake, pulleys, and a built tranny & rear end. It is a "finished" project as far as it runs and looks good (in my opinion). It's just when I first bought it, there were plans for a supercharger. Time and money are tight right now though. I've had it 8 years and probably won't ever sell it.

dude, never sell out.

I have an 86 Fiero GT that is getting a V8 in it this year.

Keep the dream alive my Pontiac has been in the garage for 7 years.

And now back to our previously scheduled programing of haunting.

Outstanding job on both Sir!!

Bump for an awesome prop!
