IHADAV8 Playground / Shopping for a two post
« on: January 07 2020, 01:01:38 PM »
Hey fellas, looking for some solid advice on a lift. Been researching and seems to be a lot of knock offs.  Looking for quality and reliability. 


Anyone have anything good or bad to say about about rotary?

IHADAV8 Playground / Overwhelmingly busy
« on: November 11 2019, 07:34:20 PM »
Been a while since I posted up.  Life.. work... just overwhelmed with it all.


Work. Been on a contract in Southern California covering specifically Orange County and on call when needed for surrounding counties since mid June. That’s a 12 day on and 6 day off schedule. Their fire season started a little late in the season as I’m sure y’all saw reported on the news.


In the middle of all that, my wife found a property just outside the city limits that suited our needs. Not that I was looking. I was perfectly happy where we were at. Been there over 12 years. But this place had something that sold me. As one child is married and the other is a senior in high school, the need for an 11 room, 130 year old farm house didn’t appeal to the wife’s schedule of keeping up the house without help from the kids... so downsizing was on her mind.


We put in an offer and purchased the “new to us” home and property. Being in a position to not have to sell our old home, we had planned to move on my scheduled time off. I wanted to have a home inspector come in and tell us what needed to be repaired or updated before listing. Well that took a left turn when word got out that we were moving. We had people knocking down the door wanting to buy our old house. We didn’t have a real estate agent and folks wanted a price. So we get an agent, come up with a price and now have the old house under contract to close on the 21st. Lucky for us as I told the buyers it was sold as is so don’t ask for repairs. 


So we got moved out. Had a fence and gate put up.  And I’m headed to Santiago, Chile on the 16th working a new contract which has a 3 week on and 3 week off schedule.


The Phoenix is coming along and has been giving a new name. “EGL RSNG”. That’s “eagle rising” for the acronym impaired.  Two reasons for the change. First, someone already took that license plate here in Texas.  Second, as an old warrant officer, our insignia for the warrant officer branch was described as an eagle rising before the smart people decided to make us part of our commissioned brethren with their insignia. So a little homage to my warrant officer heritage.

IHADAV8 Playground / Shop floor coatings
« on: September 08 2019, 12:07:43 AM »
Me and the wife have decided to down size our house. That being said, we close on another property next Wednesday. Smaller home just 7 miles from our current home but outside the city limits. Property has real nice 40x90 shop. 40x60 is enclosed with the rest under a carport. 14 foot walls with two doors on one end.


Before I go move anything into the shop I would like to coat the floors. Been reading up on the epoxy coating and Polyurea coating. Anyone have experience with the Polyurea? Comparing the two, I believe the Polyurea has the advantage with application and durability.

I haven’t researched enough, so I have a question about the system. The claim is real time temp and pressure compensation. Any truth to it?

IHADAV8 Playground / Turbo Tweak GN ECU
« on: July 10 2018, 09:56:51 PM »
Got an email yesterday with shipping info and another email today with software installation instructions. Going to be a huge learning curve for me and I would like to share the ups and downs.  I'm pretty sure there is knowledge to be tapped here from others who have used the software. As of now I only have instructions and a schedule that will only allow for reading till the weekend

IHADAV8 Playground / Another project
« on: February 21 2018, 09:52:27 PM »
1966 Ford Ranch Wagon. 57k miles. 289 two barrel. Three on the tree with overdrive. Sold new on 10 December 1965 at Bock Ford in New Braunfels, Texas. It sat out for a while, thus the patina. Pulled the tank and cleaned it out.  Put a kit in the carb and the old girl fired up. Installed new wheel cylinders in all four corners and now it stops. Had to clean the points on the overdrive what I call "governor" and the over drive now works. All the lights function minus the dash lights. Haven't figured out what's going on with the horn yet, it doesn't work. Man, this thing is a highway cruiser!

IHADAV8 Playground / Overhauling the Wagoneer's 360
« on: November 17 2017, 10:38:45 AM »
Been toying with the idea of overhauling the 360 in the Wagoneer.


It's not a drag vehicle nor will it be a high revving platform. Just lots of low rpm torque is what I'm after and some decent oil pressure at a hot idle.


Seen and read a few articles of stroking it to a 408 but with lots of rpm in mind on those builds.


Anyone put together a build with those goals in mind?
