Too Deep

#3 piston ring land is cracked. it either needs one cast piston and a hone, or a bore job and 4 good pistons. I learned my leason about cast pistons. the vacumn retard hose came off and just 2 runs cracked the piston. I got a deal on a TEP motor and just swapped it in. Other than that the engine was was right and tight. FYI this engine was in my black 86 mpi car. i just dropped it this car for some place to keep it.

This is my last car and all the parts i have, along with a tow dolly to haul it all away. Look through the pics and i will try to answer any questions the best i can. This car is at my parents place in Newport TN, i live in NH. The car is missing a few parts like trans, radiator, intake and a few other smaller things to make it complete. It is very, very clean underneth. I unbolted the original exhaust and took the bolts out by hand. The engine was the original from my MPI car. Head studs, rod studs, BSE, basic rebuild with cast pistons. Cracked a ring land with less than 5k on the rebuild. Some extra parts include 240mm flywheel, new TEP performance cam with HD springs, extra 6bolt diff and axles, 2 sets of roller rockers, 2 complete 12a's working but need rebuild. Clean FL title, $1000 I will be in TN the 3rd week in Oct, but my father has the title and can meet with anyone who is interested in buying sooner. http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/7694/0423091028a.jpghttp://img233.imageshack.us/img233/3116/0423091027.jpghttp://img199.imageshack.us/img199/4887/0423091028.jpg http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/5237/0423091028b.jpghttp://img299.imageshack.us/img299/9412/0423091029.jpghttp://img206.imageshack.us/img206/2076/0423091028c.jpg http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/4097/0423091028d.jpghttp://img220.imageshack.us/img220/6645/0423091028e.jpghttp://img206.imageshack.us/img206/2448/0423091029a.jpg http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/993/0423091029b.jpghttp://img220.imageshack.us/img220/7305/0423091029c.jpghttp://img523.imageshack.us/img523/2884/0423091030.jpg http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/4008/0423091030a.jpghttp://img10.imageshack.us/img10/420/0423091031.jpg

Inverness. 1/2 hr from Ocala.

The old paint on the wheels was faded and the clear coat was peeling. I sanded and polished the lips but the spokes would probably need repainting.

Bump for a really nice car, ready for a good home. PRICE REDUCED! $4000 for a quick sale

I've owned this car since 2002 and its treated me good. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it cross country. As much as i have enjoyed it, my life is going in a direction that puts money ahead of this car. 89k miles when i bought it unmolested from a 2nd owner. Now has 118,300 miles. About 6k miles on new motor and clutch. Forged 8:1 Balanced Head/rod studs Cammed Ported exhaust Non jet head Magna Intake 550 injectors MSD 6 puck clutch Megasquirt Installed new FP 17cTD05h about 8 - 10k miles ago. GM 110 amp alt HKS SS BOV PLX wideband with digital display 3in DP Newer style 1 piece air dam Dual exhaust out the back with caddy STS tips Looks and sounds awesome DVD screen where OE radio was. Pioneer radio where A/C controls were. A/C controls where ash try was. Too many other things to list, I'm getting depressed just typing this much out. Pretty much any maintenance item you can think of has been done. I built it to be a daily driver and it has always been dependable. A/C had always been ice cold, never opened the system, never charged. It's fast, it's tuned great, it looks good. Last month i dropped a 2x4 on the rf fender, left a dent in the top of it :mad: LR fender has nickle size surface rust bubble. Under the car looks good, surface rust on passenger side frame from a/c dripping P/S pump has a small leak, top off the fluid at every 2k mile oil change. No cruise (Cruise switch activates boost control) No ABS Power antenna inop The only idle control is an on/off solenoid hooked to the A/C relay. This means it needs slight throttle input on cold start up. Sometimes it stalls once on the first try, but once warmed up it will idle smooth for as long as you want. 90% of the paint is a 9.5 on a 10 scale. The nose is flat black over rock chips and the 83 hood need a complete makeover. The front and hood look good from a distance but are very obviously flawed compared to the rest of the car. Also included is a brand new set of cross drilled/slotted rotors still in the box. I will drive this car with any interested party, but if you want to be a test pilot we need to come to an agreement and deposit first. Pictures I didnt wash it for the pics otherwise i probably would have changed my mind about selling her.

Are you useing EGO correction? Also i run 2 maps. One for summer and one for winter. That makes all the difference on mine. Also make sure the Baro correction is on.

I ran 225/50 up front with the 255/50 in the rear. It had a pretty good rake but i liked it. I think a 225/45 front would match up better with a 245/45 rear.

Count me in. Non Adj Ready to buy.

Can anyone add a link to both rear struts available. I've tried 7 online shops and found a total of 3 LR struts and 0 RR's Tire rack had a RR only listed so i ordered it. They called this morning to tell me it was a mistake. No RR's. Also Auto parts warehouse list them instock , but when i called they said try back in a week and they should have some in :confused0024: KYB Part # 235003 RR KYB Part # 235004 LR

WOW! You did WHAT! Come on now, that one's older than the internet itself

Thanks for the tips. When i get a free weekend i'll pull the ecu out and reflash. (it's been 2 years at least) I tried a little experiment today i tryed keeping the engine at close to 0 MAP when shutting off the key. When the timer started it still ran rich, but it was much smotther and between 12:1 and 11:1 unstead od 10:1 and RICH. I still need to add in some type of idle control. Any suggestions?

i bought my '02 4x4 2500hd for $8900 Cheapest comparable diesel i could find was $21000 It would probably take about 200k miles of towing to break even. Although the diesel pumps sure are alot eaiser to get in and out of at the truck stops. :emot-bandwagon:
