If it was running, it wouldn't be for sale...

I've got one that was used for about 3 months. Bought it from Autozone, lifetime warranty. I believe it is a 100 amp alternator. PM if interested. Scott

$6K takes it!!! :idea:

A PM received from a member... "Honestly it looks like you took a bunch of used parts and put them together to build that engine. I can't speak for the internals, but from the outside that's what it looks like. Just being honest. The body seems to be in good shape and that's a rare interior. I was hoping you had the Chevy small block TPI motor in there. How were you going to pipe the turbo's into the carberator? " Does this really look like a bunch of used parts stuck together?

go here for the pics. Scott http://batmanntexas.spruz.net/main.asp?pag...ew&id=13810

1988 Conquest TSi. This was my V8 conversion project car. Lost interest due to new job/time constraints. Car is not complete. Motor and T-5 tranny are sitting in car. Brand new BUILT 383 SBC. 1970 LT1 Heads, ported and polished. Forged everything. Eagle Stroker crank, 6.0" H-beam capscrew rods, free floating wrist pin, probe forged pistons, 2 new Turbo Xpress turbo's, MPFI setup, lot's of other stuff. Things that are not included are camshaft/lifters and exhaust manifolds. I had not purchased these items because I wasn't sure which route I was going to go, i.e. mechanical roller/hydraulic roller, or if I was even going to put the turbo's into the conquest. The car has been modified heavily in the front end to accept the SBC. Motor mounts were fabricated and installed, factory radiator was junked in favor of a custom aluminum radiator with huge electric fan. From outward appearances, it looks like a stock TSi. The body is in fair shape, has dings here and there, some very minor, some not so minor. I have some pics and can take more. I'm looking to get about $7500-8000 out of this project. I've got about $12-13000 invested. Shoot me an e-mail, or call me if interested. I live in NC. I also have an '06 20' steel deck car hauler that can be bought as well, call it a package deal if you like...hehe. 8) Just in: here's the link to the webspace for the pictures. http://batmanntexas.spruz.net/main.asp?pag...ew&id=13810 Thanks, Batmann scott.campbel5@us.army.mil 910-624-2725

Hello, I am in the process of a SBC swap at this very moment. I am using a GEN I SBC, running all forged internals, and a roller cam with an aftermarket MPI setup. I originally went with the front sump oil pan from the old chevy II, but was discouraged by the unavailability of a high volume/pressure pancake style pump, so then I started thinking about the rack and pinion swap to alleviate the steering linkage problem with a rear sump oil pan. I think instead I am going to modify and move the crossmember forward, design a new centerlink and go back with a low profile, 7-qt rear sump pan. I also used a T-5 tranny. Best of luck to you on your project.

I know that tools are required to set the valve lash. The method I described was for rotating the engine ONLY without the need for hand tools. As for turning the engine backwards, you should only be "nudging" it backwards to align the timimng mark, not trying to rotate the motor 360, 720, etc. in the reverse direction. Granted when I posted this, I was thinking about a small block V8, something that usually doesn't have a chain guide, tensioner, etc. I will concede that rotating the 2.6L backwards any sserious amount could do some damage, alright. Call me stubborn, but I still don't see any harm in just "nudging" it backwards, if you need to align the timimg mark. Just my $.02.

Here's a little trick for rotating the crankshaft with out any tools or grabbing the crankshaft pulley, if you don't already know this. Level ground helps out here by the way; put the car in 1st gear. Release emergency brake (if applied), Rock the car backwards or forwards to achieve the desired crankshaft rotation direction. This method allows you to look right at the crankshaft pulley and align the timing mark right where you need it while you are rotating the crankshaft. Once again, no tools required for this method. 8)

Got the front end finished finally!! I'll be able to keep the A/C!!! It is important to have too much(???) power AND keep the creature comforts if possible!

Hello to all!! It's been a while since I last posted. Just thought I'd drop a few lines to let everyone, or anyone interested, know how my project is coming along. First, let me say that this is a much more challenging conversion than I originally thought it would be. The front end is completely stripped down, the factory motor mounts gone, core support mostly gone, frame rails for the bumper mount have been narrowed. Custom made motor mounts were fabricated out of 1/4" plate steel to hold the new motor. 2'' square tubing has replaced the main core support, located approximately 2.5" further back than original location. The narrowed frame rails permit the fitment of a custom aluminum radiator with high flow electric fan in place of the stock radiator. Still trying to figure out if I'll be able to keep the A/C. The transmission mount has been tossed in lieu of a new unit that locates a T-5 in place of the stock tranny. The transmission tunnel has been cut and modified to fit the T-5. Haven't finished with the tunnel yet, so can't put the dash back into place to see how much I'll have to modify the center section. I'd like to put some pics on the website, and if anybody is interested, I could put some video footage on CD and share it with others. This should be an awesome ride once it is finished. I'm trying for around 500 HP on motor alone, then it's turbo time!! 8) --Scott

Just concluded some business with Fasazme in Moulton, AL. Â Bought an entire interior as well as a few miscellaneous parts for an outstanding price! Â Can't say enough about the guy. Â He's got several parts cars, and he's willing to ship. Â Need a part? Look him up. Send him an e-mail. Â Superb Guy!
