    @johnolver3217 Před 2 lety +1

    Hey next time you do an oil pan run a torch flame around and the heat will draw the oil out of the aluminum an makes the joining process a lot easier. Then if there is a problem area again just heat it up a little bit and it’ll weld perfectly again.

  • @tsmith578
    @tsmith578 Před rokem

    I never heard of anyone using a F150 fuel pump for an LS swap, that is some good information to have on note
    Thank you.
    It really surprised me to see that, I remember those old F series trucks and Vans from the early years of EFI in the Ford , we used to have issues with that frame mounted pump freezing up in the winter and then we had to bring the vehicle inside to thaw it out or lay outside in the cold with a hair dryer, heck I even remember pushing my friends van for two blocks once to a car wash so we could spray it with warm water to get the pump to work.
    I don't think it was the fault of the pumps so much as it was the fact that they were mounted on the driver's side frame just a short distance from the front wheel where they got a lot of water and snow and cold air .

    Love the tear drop rear wheel wells of the 56 over the squared off 55s . On the 2 door the chrome trim even drops down and you can see how it influenced the wheel wells and trim for the 57 Chevy . Sorry I'm just a Chevy guy and Mopar man !!

    Hope Trevor drops it by in the future after he does some of the work on the rust and the front bumper. Just to see how it looks in the end even as he has no real plans to do more... but already it is more than a roller...
