Re: 70c10

1 polished... Looks better in the sun, it was just getting dark out.. Took about 2-3 hours



Also, the reason we had the rear wheels off to begin with.. We have noticed the rear to be handling awful.. The body roll was just, scary.... We played around with it today. And couldnt figure out what was hitting.. Then we realized it was the U Joints.. They were extremely loose. We could see through the axle and track bar.

Re: 70c10

My Dads had a long day.. But made mine at the same time. When he got home from work I got him to drive the truck when we went to take off the trash. When he got in, he started searching around with his left foot for a clutch... lol Its not had a clutch in 20 years... Talk about a long day.......

Ahh Yeah! Now just gotta wait for the dual fuel line to get here. The one at the parts store was ugly and over priced. I am picky lol

Re: 70c10



Pretty old video, now since Its broke in a bit more it is a bit more 'lopey'. Also has a nasty exhaust leak, around the collector on the passenger side. We patched it a little since. But, here ya go! Hopefully getting the 750 on this weekend, still waiting on a part from Holley..

We got the 750 on. We had to run a 1 inch spacer for clearance. It revs so quick now, and runs SO smooth. No lag under load.

Re: 70c10



Wheels are all polished up! Drove around with the new carb some. The performance difference is pretty huge. The low end and mid range torque is pretty crazy. Can't wait to get tires, so I can drive more.. Its a huge tease...

Also, I Talked to an engine builder today, he believes I am around 10:5.1- 11:1.1 compression.. He said he was leaning more towards the 10:5.1.

Re: 70c10

I am hoping in a couple weeks! I have been driving it a little on the back roads, its just really dangerous. I like the gear drives, people call them fake super chargers. But, to me they have a different sound. Makes it sound, more mechanical, if you no what I mean.. A lot of street bikes run them, standard.
