    I drove a 8v 71 as a young man, she would have come on song if you were to wind her up to about 2500 rpm, then you would hear a screaming jimmy!
    Have you ever seen a Detroit nightlight? When you are pulling hard at night you can see the glow from the red hot stack and the fire coming out the top.

      Wow! I’d love to own an 8v71, for sure! I haven’t seen the night light yet, but maybe I can try it with this one? Thanks for sharing that story! Have a great day, friend!

      @@GrubNGasyou’re gonna need some big injectors to get a flame from the stack and I’d highly recommend a pyrometer if you go that route. N90’s should do it….that and setting the no-load to 2400 or so will get you north of 250hp but you’ll have to watch your EGT’s and be real mindful about not going WOT under 1800 rpm for more than a few seconds.

      It wont be the fastest buuut it's gonna be working reliable.
      One tiny word of advice, when idling for longer times... bump up the rpm for the oilpressure ;) (call it 800 - 950rpm or abit higher)

    If I'm gonna get if I'm gonna get abstract, I mean I'm hanging to I would go and get me a Cummins out of a out of an out of an old Ford something from the 90s and dropping at and keep that Jimmy and either make it home make it put a flat bin on it or a stake body or set it up. Put a nice new s eval's. Put a nice new frame on there and give it setup for Holland Paul and tractors. And stuff make it get ready 24 somebody's as a bad dude

    • @GrubNGas
      @GrubNGas  24 дні тому

      Appreciate the feedback, friend! I’m seriously thinking of keeping the truck intact and just fixing everything and putting a flatbed on it. Maybe put a Cummins in the 1955 Ford.
