Fellow craigslist truck scavengers, peak inside and be jealous.

Theres a passenger drop 32spl 241 on FB market place by me, but he wants $600. [MENTION=2449]ilikemtb999[/MENTION]

Not worth it to me. That could get me a 4l80 and like 4 208’s to break

 

[Ear Rak]

Well when the time comes, you can buy mine for what i have in it...$270

 

[Ear Rak]

Motor is dropped in. Got a pic of the dirty dingo adjustable mounts. They are slotted, so no messing with trans location.

 

[Ear Rak]

Made some more progress. Squared up the motor, locked all the mounts down, installed the knock sensors and intake, bolted accessories up.

Tried to bolt the stock exhaust manifolds in place, but they have clearance issues with the frame. Will have to get some shorty headers.

We then removed the battery (going to relocate to driver side), and test fit the stock air intake. Damn near drops in. My buddy is going to modify the stock 04 bracket to work with my fender.

So she runs and drives now. Been driving her about a week. Definitely way better than the old 350

Still need to do:
Clean up wiring.
Finish wiring gauges.
Redo trans cooler lines.
Adapt factory oil cooler to the LS
Tidy up vacuum lines and such.

I’ll have to upload videos to you tube or something.

Small update:

Np241 has seen its last days.

First it broke a tcase adapter and almost fell out of the truck. Then, after spending 4 hours fixing it, my dumbass didnt see that the front drivesshaft slipped out a bit and it punched into the tcase when i got it on the ground from the lift and cracked the front case.

Couldnt find a used passenger drop 241 and everyone wants $1200 for a rebuilt one plus $350 core.

So, i found this for $1600:
Np205 and NWF ecobox doubler. Just need to swap the input shaft from my broken 241 into it and modify the 205 tail housing for a vss sensor.
205 is already modified for a twin stick.

This will give me 1:1, 1.96:1, 2.72:1 or 5.33:1 of triple stick ultra-low goodness that should never break.

Stay tuned for the fun of fabbing it all together.

Lots of body damage

 

[Ear Rak]

I've since gotten a tow rig as well, so its no longer my daily driver.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Looks kinda like fun

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Looks like it’s taking the thrashing well!

Outside of the body damage, really haven't broken anything major. Bent my first hydro ram so i went to a bigger 1.75x8 ram and melted a shifter cable. But thats about it.

ilikemtb999 Still trying to make it up by you some day. Really want to do Holy Cross.

 

[SleeperLS]

Where you at now?

 

[Ear Rak]

Where you at now?

Still in TX. But have been to PA, AR, NM and OK with the burb. So far NM is my favorite place to wheel, but OK is close second.

 

[SleeperLS]

where at in NM have you been?

 

[Ear Rak]

where at in NM have you been?

Las Cruces. Tons of trails out there.
