The deuce compressor is rated at 7.25cfm at 1250 rpm.
The York 210 displaces 10.3 cubic inches and is rated at 8.78cfm at 1250 rpm.
It's not a huge difference but I think it would be noticeable. It was just an idea I had and it is certainly an improvement albeit a slight one over the stock...
I am installing a York 210 compressor on my 6.2 M211 project and I got to thinking, why not put this compressor on the M35 style trucks too? It would be a huge improvement over the stock Midland unit. They have their own oil sump, are rated for 6000rpm, cheap parts, electric clutch, should make...
Just a small update today January 24th. I picked up a big 4 core Chevelle radiator off ebay to replace the old 2 core. It should be plenty enough radiator especially with the HMMWV fan which is being used as a "constant drive" and will push and ungodly amount of air.
This evening I scored a...
That is awesome if it works on vinyl. The surplus cargo tops should last many times longer with a coating of paint to protect them from UV rays. They would get eaten up in less than 1 year here. Sunniest city in the country.
Moving the GMC transfer back is actually not as hard as some make it out to be. Just redrill the holes in the mounting bracket on the frame, then weld on some secondary brackets to take care of the other two bolt holes that are now too far back to reach the OEM mount. The handbrake would still...
That would be cool, the 6bt with the Allison. The M135's and M211's are the same bumper to bumper, only differences are bed width and the wheels of course. The M35's front ends are over 1 foot longer to accommodate the mighty Multifuel.
Back when I thought I would be going with a 5.9/G360 out...
Both Cummins have rear oil sumps so oil pan clearance should not be an issue. Both cummins are great engines (nuff said) but will be very expensive to repair or modify in any way. If the Allison is direct drive you will be limited to 45-50mph. The torque converter will help with not having a low...
"No Firearms or live ammunition". Now the would be nutjob will know where to go on his little spree. Nothing like fish in a barrel my friends. And all because he got his feelings hurt sometime somewhere.
The axles and driveshafts are not the problem. The GMC's Hydramatic had a 15.67:1 low range reduction that applied nearly 4200lbs of input torque on each drive shaft. This much torque and it does not take a lot of binding in the system such as a log or large rock under a wheel to create twisted...
Sure, here's another I just finished yesterday. My Tru Oil finishes are done completely by hand, however in the weeks to come I'll have an air brush setup with spray booth for glass smooth finishes.
Now ya'll know how my handle came to be!
No rush on the parts, Dave. You get out there when...
Okay as per Dave aka M1010Plowboy's request I thought i'd post my final needs list.
-Air tank w/ T fitting, 2 drain cocks.
-Canadian style mirrors
-Hard top
-6 wheel cylinders (thanks again Jim)
-Master Cylinder
That really is it Dave, I can't think of anything else I need. Any work left...
I recently spoke with a friend who came down from Canada, the man has lived and breathed anything 6.2 related for the past several years. I won't say he is an expert because there are far too many of those out there these day's. But from what I gathered with talking to him and from the research...
