My LFest06 / Lightning Saga - - - - - Part 3
Part 3
Like I was saying in Part 2, there was nothing left of the old 351. So I ordered a whole Longblock assembly that I will show you in Part 4. But I still had a lot of work to do before the engine gets here. The engine is scheduled to be here on the 14th (Yep . . 7 days before I leave to drive this truck out to Lightning Fest!!!) I had planned on using the 6 week before LFest to do some maintenance work to the L since it would be driven so far. So now I had to hurry up and get all that stuff finished up before the new engine arrives. So for the past 4 weeks I have been doing the following: Front wheels: new shocks new calipers new brake pads new brake rotors new inner and outer wheel bearings new wheel bearing seals new brake lines from the frame to calipers new cotter pins, dust caps and caliper pins Rear Axle: swapped 4.10 gears out for 3.73’s new wheel seals new inner and outer pinion bearings new pinion seal new brake line from frame to housing deleted unused parking brake cables Misc.: New transmission front pump seal New rear trans. Seal Install new front tank fuel pump Polishing the new aluminum cold side pipes that I made LOTS of cleaning and paining underneath to remove 211,000 miles and 13 years worth of grime Here are some pics:
