is there a fully bleeded assembly to swap in?

this weekend this thing was great. i drove it up to the drivers meeting and a couple times up to the porto johns and across the street.
the looks and comentary it got from line mt folk was worth the weekend.
Miller raced his. i think he got a half a lap and double rolled with the woman in it.
talked to him before the race and checked out his car. nothing more than ours, got some shock mount ideas and some other ideas.

Looks awesome. Just curious why you decided on that location for the reservoirs? I can see it getting damaged if another truck lands on you or you get in a rollover. I am not second guessing you, just want to learn. Would the red circle in the attached pic be a better location to protect the reservoirs?
(I know nothing about reservoirs, no idea if angles have to matter here)

motor was rapped for 15 minutes solid with no care. steering and shocks are great.
front beams are bent from multiple 6' air outs finished both heats fine.
the first heat was the most fun i have had in a truck in years. we were banging doors 3 wide in the air several times. send main was a shit show from over watering the track and pretty much a waste of time
Post by: M4wdFab on June 11, 2015, 12:13:09 AM
going to sift though jeep springs in the scrap pile and shoot for a 3" front lift to get the bent beams back in camber spec and run the 35 SCRs. should fit great.

I know the rod master cylinder on my F350 had the same type of end but not sure on the slave end of things.
I think I may have the fitting still. I ended up piecing the dodge line to the ford mc.

But front end didn't appear happy about the big tires mid air!
Imagine a bad shopping cart wheel. :o

I like the gears and tires, they have ton of traction and keep me in first. seems like everyone else was tacking out in 1st and bogging in 2nd most of the track.

summit order placed for next round of upgrades.
explorer springs, steering quickener, rear pannel mirror
plan to change front coil mount supports and shock locations.
im thinking my FOX 2.5 12" CO's on the front of 572 are going to make it to the brolite, and run the new profender16's i have on the rear. ill have my fox shocks on the bro to sell, or build another 12,14's 2.0 smoothies

While i'm thinking about it, do you know anyone looking for a 8.8 out of a ranger (drum brakes unfortunately), he also has a set a 4.56 gears to go with it the have had the backside machined (lightened, top outer edge).
These were extras for a friends asphalt circle track mustang, he was looking for $200 for everything.

Post by: M4wdFab on May 02, 2016, 10:28:36 PM
thinking lift jeep springs are the way to go.
before swapping out springs, my shocks were my down travel limit in front. I think the jeep lift springs need to go back in and my shocks need to be lowered 2-3" or more.....
Post by: M4wdFab on May 03, 2016, 11:26:40 PM
front shocks lowered 2.5" for more usable down travel
1.5:1 steering quickener and quick disconnect wheel installed
new snow tires mounted. couldn't come up with a grooving plan, might just leave them.
Post by: M4wdFab on May 17, 2016, 10:54:51 PM
radiator topped off, oil filled.
needs a battery now also.

the grinding dragging sound i was expecting to find as rear brakes exploded was found to be a drive shaft carrier bearing. pulled to measure since zone listed 4 differed ID sizes and found one instock at penfield out by Matts new house. quick visit and pickup, back in and all good.
also got an oil and filter change, chassis fuel filter change
power steering res fix #4.
popped a rear brake line pulling into the shop this after noon, also replaced that. jug of coolant will be added to a fushed radiator after this weekend.

over all a good day of fun racing though after the sun dried out some wet spots.
Will and i were racing hard and his truck popped out of gear mid air, i wacked him pretty good but all is well.
Mike had a temporary alternator issue that got resolved, and at the end of the day will lost his clutch driving back to the trailers.
these things are too much fun. mine is put away dirty and could use a new hood. or not.
