Projects 41 Willys PU... yet another Gasser Build

You can be stupid fast with a 471. Ask me how I know. The right combination and tuning, and away you GO!

 

Dyers offers rebuilding services, plus there's a thread here on going through blowers yourself.

 

The guy I bought the blower from is a buddy who pulled it off a 80's ZZ Top lookalike duece roadster. The car had less than 10k on it since it was put together with a GM 195 horse crate motor. The motor had chewed the cam up and it was running a few cylinders down. The blower was pulled off and Gary Dyers was called to see about a rebuild. He had my buddy check a few things and send a couple pics and told him not to waste his money, it wouldn't need a rebuild for a while. Long story short ZZ no Top now has a Coyote motor in it.

 

Here is ZZ no Top after pulling the motor and her off topic fraternal twin.

 

I took a couple of 3" muffler clamps and welded on some scrap steel so I could hang the rearend in the correct spot. Then I was finally was able to get the ladder bar cross member tacked in and had enough time to get the upper coilover mount tacked up as well

 

I was able to get some measurements and start laying out the cradle for the fuel cell and battery. Also I made the panhard bar brackets and got them tacked up. Also yanked the engine block out as it is off to the machine shop on Tuesday.

 

Any updates on this build? Hello......

 

Motor is all together on the stand ready to go. I managed to find an Ansen blow proof bell housing with out having to sacrifice a testicle to pay for it. Starting on the plumbing now, hopefully it will run soon. Then wrap up the body. Pictures to come.
