mudnut's 'Old Trol' build thread.

Finally fitted headers and I am happy with the results . Now waiting for a refund for the defective engine pipe, so I can get it tuned on the dyno and see what horsepower it has gained.

2 things did you fix the power steering pump and is your snorkle fitted?

[mudnut]

No and no. The PS pump noise disappeared, so I ain't gunna fix what ain't broke. The snorkel is beginning to be a pipe dream. Pardon the pun. These are the pics I put up the other day,
of the shelf under the dash , the dashmat and the headers.

nice work as usual, What about some 100mm exhaust pipe a 90 and a 45 rubber bend for a snorkel
Cheap as chips ,still look good , powder coat the pipe,
I think the lot for less than $100-$150
Surely someone has done this.??

[mudnut]

Yeah, there are a few build threads, and I do like the look the steel snorkel, but I wouldn't want a steel pipe flailing around and entering the cab in an accident. I haven't done much wheeling of late, any way, so it can wait.

Nah you're too paranoid no one has ever died from being hit by a snorkle.LOL

To help water proofing the engine, along with the dipstick clip, the timing belt cover hose nipple and the air breathers, I have also raised the Thermal Vacuum Valve inlet and added a filter to it.

The Passenger side coil tower is bent, so I have ordered a Superior Engineering Coil Brace Kit (no body lift) and will attempt to fit it when it turns up.
