pure_insanity Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Grant...No...Its probably a few degrees more than I was going for...I took the mounts apart again...Going to try to raise the motor up 3/4 of an inch and take some of the angle out....this is hopefully the last time. I've also burned up 3 drill bits...If I had a press I could do a better job...but...anyways...I hope to have this thing ready to run within a few days....I'm pretty stoked. Will it count as a ride in an MPI car come May??? Will it Grant...?? I'll make sure I bolt the hood down before we go out lol. i would say it technically counts as an mpi car. but then again, who cares about mpi at that point, youve got a whole different monster on your hands. and if your lucky, it might be as fast as mine. lol def. be sure to bolt the hood down. we cant be lucky enough to miss the car two times. i still cant believe how that happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOHO Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 You going to bring it to the showdown?? I will run you at the track son.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pure_insanity Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 im hoping to bring it to the track, but i cant be absolute certain. i just ordered parts to build a new header for it and once i get that all done, i will be in good shape to get the motor back in and running. however, i know now beyond a shadow of a doubt that i had detonation issues going on. thats why i was popping hg's. so before i do anything, i have got to put this thing on a dyno before it even gets drove around. which isnt really a problem except for i dont need to spend the cash. so if the gods will smile on me, i will be there with it and all will be good. still dont know if i want to run you on the track. im simply not a driver.

Thats how my little group does it. I run about 3 of my team members cars for them, simply because I'm a better driver. Cheating? Maybe. But you get to see what your car can really do.

BOHO Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Did you guys have to drill out on the Throttle body to get the cable to fit? Mine is about a mm too big and wanted to ask before I went drilling on shyt. I'm almost ready for a test start.....I'm waiting on a 6an to 3/8 barb fitting to finish the fuel system...and my powersteering stuff won't be in until tuesday. I had to start the motor on a dry pump but I may just to see if it will fire.....It is going back together fairly smooth. My radiator didn't make it becaues a train was late in Indiana.....bah.....I think this thing is going to look and run amazing.... http://img862.imageshack.us/img862/1112/89777356.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOHO Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Serpent. Do you have a pic of where you went in with the harness? I read where you said you altered the fire wall but I just would like to know what you did before I cut more... I'm getting a little cut happy. Also...I know your not running it now that you went single..But were you running the pipe from turbo intake...over behind the head to the back of the intake manifold? I think it is emission stuff? I was just going to do without... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOHO Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I have the pipe...Just didn't know if I was going to run it or not...I didn't even know if it was going to function with what I was hooking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentkilla Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 when you pull the ac condenser out just make the hole a little bigger to get the plugs thruhttp://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s285/pgoombay/2011-03-21_21-50-22_679.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOHO Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Ah...I didn't know you guys pulled the condensor. Did you have to pull the dash? I'll have to knock this out tomorrow...I would like to fire it up....have to figure out how to upload a video.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentkilla Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 No just pull out the blower motor then pull the black box the condenser sits in there. Take it out run your wires then put everything back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOHO Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 The only part that has trouble fitting is the slave cyl and this "sandwhich" piece that connect the tailshaft to the rest of the tranny...its the rusty peice here. http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss85/bohocst/r154.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
