If you check his recent vids you'll see a rolling burn-out he did in front of a ricer shop that Nelson knows. I guess it's a thing between Nelson Racing and this ricer shop where they do burnouts in front of each other's shop. Check his vid out and it'll make more sense.


I bought WildeRacing's old methanol set up which untilizes a meth tank in place of the wiper fluid tank. Has pump and senders and what not. Kinda neat, nothing unique but yeah...kinda neat.


Engine dips stick or tranny dip stick? If it's the tranny dip stick, not to worry fella's, it's the sticker from the price tag, haven't rubbed it all the way off yet. If it's the engine dip-stick...yeah I might have to re-coat it!
I could use that brkt. perhaps on a project, just saw it there, so I asked.

So, it's a Nelson vid I'm lookin for? Forgive me, still gettin back into the swing of PT.net again.

Gotcha.

I think it's the oil dipstick IIRC.

Look through Tarinitup's recent threads started, forgot what it was called but it's a vid of him doing a huge rolling smoking burnout and almost losing it.

And they are both oil dip-sticks silly!! Which one!

Can you explain a bit more Vic?
If by factory you mean not the HD block, I don't have a "factory" oil cooler line/block. The HD is all that I have
Are you still planning on using an oil cooler? I know Jarrett wasn't running one on his truck and he didn't have any problems to speak of.
Well the radiator I have has the oil cooler built in so I might as well use it. I wanted to drill and tap the factory oilcooler block for the feed. Does anyone know what side is the feed and what side is the return on the oil cooler block??

Man! That looked like he was close to a wipe out instead of a burn out!

I think I shat myself 2x just watchin it. I loved how the cop rolls by only 30 sec before, & the "perp" is sittin doin a burnout as traffic just rolls by like no big deal.

Locals probably think, just a redneck doin his thang. The semi driver may've thought his semi was gonna get hit, or Tarinup would be toast. Way to go!

Spoolin, not really, you dipstick. Oil dipstick is for oil, trans dips. is for trans. :nunchuk1:

Those 2 Tarinitup vids are gettin saved & goin on my compuet, I touch & my Droid!

Well, about the oil cooler/feed issue...
Decided not to run an oil cooler for now. Mine probably has some crap in it from my last motor that was in the process of tearing itself to pieces. No sense in running the risk on a luxury that is an oil cooler. From what I understand these oil coolers are only optioned from the factory from vehicles that come with the tow package anyways, and most models don't even run them. Also not planning on doing any circle track racing, tow competitions and anything that's gonna be requiring loading this motor for long periods of time.
Henry (stoichiometric) came up with a cool idea about an aluminum spacer that would allow me to not molest the stock cooler block which was pretty cool. Maybe at some point down the line if I get into road racing this truck I'll flush it out and do that but for now, not going that route. Thanks for all the suggestions and help.
Gonna get a crossmember fabbed up with a battery bracket built into it tomorrow. After that, it's wiring, plumming, couple misc ends then off to the exhaust shop, then fluid fill and start up.
