Is that the only photo you have? Its hard to see whats under that huge airbox...

Well I finally got the suspensions dismantled (IE tie rods removed). Now there are the funny tie rod bearings in the large suspension pieces that will keep me from being able to clean up the suspension well until they are removed Plus, the hubs... The two ball bearings on the front hubs and the tie rod ball bearing... Those suckers just WON'T come out! At least I got the EA61 shortblock disassembled finally. I had to unbolt the con rods while the block was split and remove the pistons in reverse of how i'm supposed to (IE removing the sleeves first) but it made it easier, since I was able to tap out the sleeves afterwards from inside. Now the heads + shortblock halves need a pressure washer bath for sure! Yuck!

Ya, you can't direct link from that site. You have to re-host them.

Got any 14" enkeis?

Those aren't whitewalls.

Its not mine, that photo is from some Japanese dude who owns it. And if I had one, I certainly wouldnt be selling it

Since this is still "the" weber thread... Any info on this sucker??? Found here: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/ultimatetarga&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dultimatetarga%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG

This perhaps?

Looks like an DCNF series maybe? Doesnt really matter, what really matters is that intake manifold! Lets you run any of the synchronous, 2 barrel, downdraft carburetors out there Now we need to find out if anyone can find one... (ya right)

Man I want those brakes

WANT!

Yes/No? (the funky writing is a watermark from this illustration online but I modified it a bit)

What am I missing here? I've only found the one page with exterior pics...

Make sure to take some really good pics too

Link?

I'd say its worth $500 for sure, with those custom dual-intake ports and oil sump, but i'm not thrifty like most USMB folks... Honestly, all you need is the shortblock from that EA71 you bought Crabman and this motor would run for sure. I have no idea what heads those are, if they are some special EA71 dual-ports, or if they are EA63 dual ports. Its a very interesting and confusing at the same time engine setup...

I just saw this via google, thought someone might find it interesting... http://www.ttrsracing.com/subie.htm Any clue which 4port heads are on that EA71 block?

I don't have my own tester, but if it is only 1psi off then its not a huge deal.

Oh and here is the motor, I posted in my FF-1 thread but ill post these here too: I'm fairly certain this is a wet-sleeve block... I saw the other reman EA63 they are auctioning on Ebay right now, and that was a 8xx,xxx engine code, so I presume it was a wet-sleeve as well.

Here is the EA63 motor I just picked up off ebay ( http://www.allengine.com GREAT vendor BTW! Sells imported Japanese motors of almost ANY kind) and picked up down in Fresno at the warehouse: Can anyone understand that compression chart? I've never seen one before.

The block # is 699821, so i'm fairly certain it isn't dry sleeved (very similar casting to the EA61 actually) However, most of the gaskets are new on the motor so its basically already rebuilt and ready to go.

Its the outer joint where the tie-rod connects to the control arm/trailing arms (front AND rear are being stubborn)... Its sad, cause in the FSM's and other manuals it says it just comes apart when you take out the lock bolts

Yes, some of the metal is pretty darn thin... But there are varying thicknesses in the car, its not ALL super-thin. I've kind of ruled out the acid dip at this point for several rather good reasons

I'm having a *************** of a time getting the tie-rods un-installed Anyone have any tips?

Hmm, 10.0/1 compression ratio? Sounds good. But that lack of power increase is odd... I only have the "early" 1300/1400 FSM, so I should probably pick up the later 1400 engine section FSM too for more detail. Anyway, what i'm thinking is: Dry sleeved EA63 block 4port heads (EA61 heavily ported, or EA63) Custom Cam (whichever one I need to use) EA63 intake manifold (that I already have) I'm hoping its the later 1976+ dry sleeve motor... If not, its still a good backup motor. I actually read that 1400 thread again, thats where I started getting curious about the different head configurations and cam configuration, it was mentioned that cams/valve location might be different on the later 1400's but wasn't confirmed.
