    14 bolt drums

    I was thinking similar to you in that new shoes were better on new drums, but the old drums are still around if needed, I haven’t measured them yet. I am now looking for some place willing to turn my drums & hubs true and hopefully balance them afterward. I’m confident that 65 lbs. spinning...

    14 bolt drums

    Thank you for your reply. If I can find some American made drums I will buy them, at some point this made in China stuff must stop. This is a 14 bolt from a dual wheel one ton and so far the axles are not installed. I started with the wheel studs, all eight, installed and tight, but then...

    14 bolt drums

    This is the 10 1/2” full float dual wheel axle.

    14 bolt drums

    Does anyone have advice for quality drums for this? I’ve just put on some new Bendix drums and the run-out is insane, actually visible. I’ve tried adjusting them with a hammer and careful tightening of the studs, but this is not going to get me anywhere close to o.k.

    Cylinder head output shape

    I’d check out what Gale Banks might have available. Anyway, a solid set of cast manifolds might be the best option if a turbo is going to be involved.

    Exhaust for 1998 L29

    Thank you for your response. It has been my understanding that you are correct, maybe an exception being insane power dragsters which just have as minimal an exhaust as possible. This doesn’t really count for our purposes.

    Hey, by the way, that’s an awesome picture you have for your avatar.

    Exhaust for 1998 L29

    This is exactly the goal of this project, to create an exhaust which properly scavenges the engine. In order to do this I’m willing to do some fab work and welding, I’m even willing to make a couple pressure wave termination boxes if necessary. I have the luxury of space since this is a rear...

    Exhaust for 1998 L29

    Thank you for your response. Your idea regarding Tri-Ys is very interesting. The ‘collectors’ that came on my headers (JBA #6822s) do not seem like the best solution and if I were to cut those off this presents the opportunity to turn them into Tri-Ys. By the way, I have been using the stock...

    Exhaust for 1998 L29

    Thanks for your response and that tip to the excellent Vortec thread. By the way I should have been more explicit in my description, my truck is actually a rear drive only version.

    Exhaust for 1998 L29

    First, thank you for your response, and yes this is my most typical approach to things, i.e. starting with the JBA long tubes. I didn’t really care about specifics, just that they were long tubes (28”-40”) and that I didn’t have to do the bending and cutting. I‘m hoping to push the next part...

    Exhaust for 1998 L29

    Thank you for responding. I’m open to all ideas, but I was specifically searching for stock head flow numbers. This would give the guys at Burns the info., along with cam. specs and other stuff I have, they need to recommend and supply a merge collector I could attach to my headers. I can tig...

    Exhaust for 1998 L29

    Hi, thanks for your reply, yes, it is the MPFI 7.4 (Gen.6 454).

    Exhaust for 1998 L29

    Does anyone have suggestions for an exhaust on a 1998 L29 1 ton crew cab? I plan on using the JBA long tube headers and being emissions legal, I can tig weld so oxygen sensors and egr bungs are no problem; but I‘m thinking the collector on my headers is less than desirable. I’d like to go to...
