  1. Looking for exactly those two sets of items, specifically from a Widebody SQ. Also need a flywheel! Thanks!
  2. Almost finished with my G54B bottom end swap in the wagon .
  3. How to Tell the Difference Between the Branches of the US Armed Forces! If you give the command "SECURE THE BUILDING", here is what the different services would do: The NAVY would turn out the lights and lock the doors. The ARMY would surround the building with defensive fortifications, tanks and concertina wire. The MARINE CORPS would assault the building, using overlapping fields of fire from all appropriate points on the perimeter. The AIR FORCE would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy the building.
  4. I got out as a E4. Wish Navy had rank advancement like the Marines lol. Might have gotten somewhere in life and retards weren't completely in charge lol.
  5. Navy and still technically am for the next 3 years lol.
  6. Manual brakes and Steering are Win! The only difficult steering (at first) is a non-powered power rack . Takes some time getting used to and definitely deters anyone from trying to borrow your car. Leaky 4WS lines on GVR4? no problem! Delete my powersteering pump.
  7. Dude, I still got a half gallon of Apple Pie left and 1.5 gallons of jungle juice.
  8. Rofl. Anytime I see the word "Airforce" my brain automatically interprets it as Chairforce too. All the branches were ready to work together for a brewing beatdown lol. We all talk s*** about each branch, but it's all in good fun . Prior to deploying to Afghanistan, I went through 2 months of a crash course in being Army, a MP and basic combatant down at Fort Bliss...unfortunately Army M16 qualification does not transfer over to Navy qualification requirements lol. US Narmy Saildier! When Army Strong just isn't enough!
  9. Well that was the case on the amphibs lol, I was only on the flight deck of a Aircraft Carrier most of the time or my last Squadron I left, they don't deploy to ships. Just antiques from Vietnam, hunting submarines and drug runners lol.
  10. Better than Here in Joke Harbor though lol. Hasn't rained that much this year though! Going to be a hot Summer hopefully . To the OP, I'm about a hour and some change south of you. A buddy with a couple Colt Lancers lives up there, that I've been up there helping a bit to get ready for the Nameless Rally in a couple weeks. 4g54 Power!
  11. Lol MARINE = Men Always Riding In Navy Equipment Got out of the Navy in April, gotta love it when you pretty much get laid off by the Navy, but always a catch lol. Severance pay + obliserv 3 more years in IRR haha. Had a lot of fun from 2005-2013 as a Aircraft Mechanic. I've worked with Marines both aviation side and when I was in Afcrapistan doing Detainee Ops with mostly National Guard lol. These days no one is really recruiting much, best to wait for us to go to war again lol. My old roommate is a Navy recruiter, their quota is only 2-3 tops.
  12. Crankwalk isn't as infamously common as many think. Plenty of people have rolled over 200k+ on their stock 7 bolts (5spds). If you really wanted to, for the oil cooler, you can take the stock starion adapter and put it on the NA block, BAM you got yourself a Air cooled oil filter setup...
  13. Sorry for million year reply, but that is some misinformation right there. As per the Astron family of engines stateside, The 4g54 (not later 4g54b) came in a mix of wide and narrow block versions between the 70s to early 80s. All 4g52s are Narrow Blocks, this was a common motor in 74-79 Colts (base models with Auto, GT/Carousel models had the option for MT or AT), 76-80 Arrows 78-early 80s pickups with 2.0s before being phased out with the g63b. Late 70s Colts (lancers) and Arrows (Lancer Celeste) brought the introduction of the 4g54 in their GT Models and The Fire Arrow. Narrowblock RWD Manual trans found in colts,arrows and trucks KM110 = 4spd KM119 = early 5spd (70s) KM132 = 5spd Introduced into the Lancer based Colts and Arrows of the late 70s, as well as early pickups, share same tailshaft size (small yoke) as the earlier KM110/KM119. Astron 1 (4g54/4g52/4g52b) Heads have a different stud pattern on the intake side of the head, 4g52 was non-jet valve and dizzy mounts to timing case instead of in the head, 4g52b is jet valve and dizzy located in the head like a 4g54b (Astron 2). So, with all that, Narrowblock Engines have been around longer prior to 80s, all Saturn family (4g3x) are also narrowblocks. Which the 4g32 has been around since '71.
  14. Should have the '75 g54b swapped later this week or weekend.
  15. Still need a set of flatty front struts! Will trade a set of widebody struts for flattys!
  16. Look for a set of front struts in good shape and looking for and maybe a front pair of the D2 Coilovers. I don't have a need for the rears, but if I have to buy a full set, then so be it.
  17. Only have 26 posts lol, it will come with time, I lurk on here for Astron and KM132 stuff from time to time. Found a couple 132s in the local yard, one is attached to a g64 lol. Just need a g54b block and crank, then another g52 head .
  18. that other forum just spread hate and discontent upon you lol. Mitsu owners: +eleventy billion Datsuns: -infinity points
  19. You should get another one!
  20. It was the lonely mitsu hanging out with some Datsuns meet lol.
  21. G52 + KM110 = more fun than 3spd auto. Oh Blue car doesn't really function anymore, just acts as lawn ornament in driveway lol. http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/64469_10151497928795336_56274152_n.jpg http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/150944_10151417262630336_32420348_n.jpg http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/69671_10151503850340336_19280644_n.jpg
  22. Wagon on the other hand..has a set of Sidedraft Carbs lined up and been weighing the options of straight 2.6l g54b with my g52 head or a g54b/g52 head destroker. A friend runs a destroker in his 77 rally car and that thing hauls tail!
  23. I posted a couple cellphones pics up on the FB page not long ago, but here's the rest of the most recent update on the Coupe. Trans is in, but I have to get one of Bill Hincher's trans mounts and move back my trans crossmember to suit the R154. Got to wait till I get some 5 lug hubs and front struts and coilover sleeves so I can level out the front end, in order to take the car to get the driveshaft measured and built. Anywho.... http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/250491_10151264565735336_252225279_n.jpg http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/543442_10151264565880336_240609397_n.jpg You can see in this one where the cross member sits and how it needs to come back some. http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/155652_10151264566390336_7844787_n.jpg Have to tilt the motor up about a couple degrees for the tailshaft to clear the frame support beams, the crossmember is what is making it sit higher than it actually will, because we bolted it on just to keep the car mobile(rolling). mocked up the turbo, leaning more towards just moving the Thermostat up front, not really feeling like totally hacking up my firewall just for the thermostat housing. Gotta order a exhaust manifold with a external wastegate port, no room in the back for a o2 housing mounted one. http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/644540_10151264566600336_1613001240_n.jpg Currently the car has no chassis harness, except for the trunk stuff. Luckily I'm retrofitting a entire Galant VR-4 chassis harness to the car lol, will make going quad head lights much easier and updates the fuse block from crappy bus fuses.
