The Scooby

hey i had one in my 78 chevy truck, until some wongleflute head broke in when it was parked at my auto tech class on a friday, tole it and my stereo. but i needed it since i was pushing about 400hp, and about 425 tq w/ a 4sp.

you dont you just ahve to change the ring and pinon from the 3.9 stock to the other 3.7 settup? i know there is an atricle on here, but its not really that informative on how to swap the gears, unless i missed that part. Shean

im also intrested if anyone could get some info posted i would be greatful. Thanks, Shean

well i decided to climb under the scooby today to see what gears i do have, and if i do have an LSD, well it ends up i got 3.9's, so now i just have to go find a 3.9 LSD, much easier for me. i thought that 86's didn't 3.9's or was that with a LSD combo?? Shean

congrats on getin it to work.

because, thts a roots style supercharger, thats is driven off the crank pulley that has to have a carburator sit on top, and feed the gas/air mixture into the turbines which blends them and shoves it into the engine. now the reason, a centrifical, its basically a turbo concept, ut is belt driven again and doesn't recirculate the exhaust gases rather just shoves freash air into the throttle body or carburator. centrifical is before the gas, while roots is after. have a nice day and BUMBLE BEE TUNA

i got a set of those EXTREMELY RARE 8 spoke wheels ill give you a great deal on for $200 w/tires, NOW THATS INSANE, IM NOT KIDDING, WITH TIRES, OHH GEE!!! plus shipping. Shean

holy crud, i cant belive someone paid that much for rims, that are a stok set, expecally with no tires, thats ludacris. im trying to find those rims myself, but i will never pay that much.

ShawnW, i would, but wouldn't the bolts for the struts then be too short to put the nots back on, or what are those three bolts for. i was just thinking of making one that mounts to the side of the strut tower be the battery, the front of it facing the headlights, then tie it into the back or top also and triangulate it to ether the bolt whole where the stock spare hold down screws into and have a peice of flat car there and bolt to that. what do you think?

calebz, well from what i can find on the UPS web site is only over night and like 2nd day, so ill have to find something else to check, but the dismentions are 36X2X2 and about 3lbs. im guessing about $10 to ship, thats just shootin form the hip. baccruda, thats true, i didn't really think about that, then i guess i will just stiffen them up, or take the cut-off wheel to them, weld on a larger plate into the brackets on the STB and then bolt it to the tower itself. or figure something else out. plus im thinking of making a new one, but using the solid core round stock in 1inch, may weight more, but less flex, plus it would be stronger, and easier to weld. or use the square tubing i got. who knows, if anyone has sugestion please step forward. Thanks, Shean

so many intrested people before, now none, that sucks, oh well. if you are, reply please, i really need money, and stuff to do at school.

couldn't say it better myself

ok well i finally finished my STB, ive been soo lazy latley and been going to gym so i havent had any time. so if anyone is intrested PM or e-mail me and we can work out pricing, i have ether 1inch steel tubing or 1inch solid round stock to choose from, and strait peaces only, unless i do a triangle and you bolt it into the firewall. so if you intrested please contact me. also the one i made with the round tube only weights about 3LBS, IF THAT MUCH!!

thats sweet man, glad to hear your gettin to spend time with the kids, workin on cars, thats how i learned, my grandpa, he tought me how to dientify olf muscle cars and classics while driving around town and such, had me rebuild a 318 for his van at 10years old, my dad never shared intrest in what i did and still do. but anyways, sounds like your gettin a good deal from a pro engine builder Shean

throw out $650 and see what he says, always lowball them and then work up. i paid $950 for mine, its a 86 GL 4x4 wagon, 5sp, new exhaust, clutch, and tires. also had a freash tune-up, and has only 130,ooo on the ticker, plus it has all power options that a GL could have.

ok then ill just swap the gas tank, and the SPFI stuff from a junk yard car.

roo, see thats why i wanted LSD, because then i can romp off road, but then drive home, im too lazy to pull the axel every time. so it looks as if im finding a 3.9 LSD now.

well i jsut want spfi for now, and turbo, long down the road, my dad would find out and kill me, because i promised him that i would TRY to not mod this car too. lol. dont i just need the ECM and enging wiing harness, as well as the SPFI system, bolt and go?? because my car has the ECM now for the carbed engine, and i was thinking of pulling the carb harness and ECM and swap in the otehr, plus the other SPFI when i have it together. i was tinking it was strait forward, and not as complex as a chevy V8 carbed to FI which ive done many a time.

hey subaru_styles, what make, model car did you pull off the suff for the 5lug conversion? was it a peugeot, or a sub XT?? thanks for any help, i would love to do that, been trying to figure out what car i need to pull the stuff off of to do it though. car looks sweet man.

quick question, can i put SPFI onto my hitchai carbed EA82, i want fuel injection so i can run a turbo, but i was wondering if i can do so, or if i need the EA82 SPFI heads. i think its the same, but im not sure so if anyone can help... Thanks, Shean

ok but what i want to know is how would i make it blink when the car is off. so like when i get out, or turn the car off i want it to start blinking, and i dont want to wire it to a switch. that i have to flip each time i get out.

ok well im cheap and trying to save money for college, and i just want a blinking LED, it worked in all my other cars that i had one in, but the problem was that i had someone else make it for me, and then when i sold that car i took it uot and put it into the next. and because i forgot to take it out of my camaro, i couldn't put it into my truck which was broken into and had the stereo, tach, and a bunch of other EXPENCIVE things stolen. so if anyone knows how to make one, please give me a heads up. Thanks a bunch Shean

roo, also ive checked your web site to se how to build that darn lincoln locker, and the link doesn't work, so if anyone can get me the plans i would b very greatful. but first i got a question, is the lincoln locker like a chevy or ford locker and lock the rear wheels so no matter what they turn the same speed, even when not in 4WD? because i want something like a LSD, then when wheelin, or rally'in, or autoX'ing i want it to lock up for more grip.

well when i am done i will look like an auto X'er, im building custom sub frame connectors, boxing all the other stuff, making custom sway bars that are MUCH larger then stock, also replacing everything with polyurathane bushings. so it will be ably to out handle almost any car out there. also front and rear coil overs that im gonna make also.
