Good old 235 6cyls! Had '51 & '54 Chevy 1/2t stepsides myself. IIRC, the 2 spd electric wiper motor from a '57-59 2t truck will fit in yours. It fit my '54 & saved me from the vacuum motor blues. 12 volt of course.

Good to know. These are in the LH side of the this pic(from a 96 Lego OB but the same one used for a 98 Imp too):

Very nice work there Subafreak! Looks like all the sheet metal was overlapped for strength of welds. Where did you get your sound deadening mat'l? 2nd Q: Are you going to add a skid plate to the t-case & pkg brk rotor?

Roaming around a pick your part yard found a 96 ej25, auto Lego OB. Pulled up the carpet, found ECU was 22611ac341, 1Q! Like you say, why so many???

How close to a "flat belly" did you get with that transfer case? Man, that is one heck of a build. Be interesting to see your crawl capability.:cool:

Definition of insanity: Doing something you know will cause you pain, again, & expecting different results.

Scored a complete 96 Lego OB ej22, 5mt, awd OBD2 system for the Frankenmotor. Intake w injectors, engine harness, IAC, etc. Complete front harness with ECU from alternator to PS footwell. Both cam sprockets, crank sprocket & harmonic dampener. And the hardware. ........................................................... Figured to add a 18mm bung for 2nd O2 sensor at 2nd cat. Cap the PS leg of front cat & add 2" 2 bolt flange to mate with OBX header.

After a LOT of reading here & other forums, decided to go with a 96 Lego OB OBD2 system. Harvested a ej22, 5mt, awd intake complete with injectors, IAC, TPS & wiring harness. Pulled dash then front harness including fuse boxes & ECU from alternator through fender across behind dash to rt footwell. Very few cuts made. 22611AC431, 7B ECU. No EGR at all. Figured the cam overlap would create enough charge dilution with exhaust. No need to compound it with EGR controls.:-p Ha ha ha.

Early VW bug or bus? 15x5 IIRC. I had a 67 Bug. Very nice product addition. Keep 'em coming.

If its any help I just pulled a 22611ac431 ECU, with 7P on center from a 96 Lego OB, EJ22, 5mt, no egr, Calif. OBD2.

22611AA563 has a 32 pin blue ROM board socket next to the ROM. "ROM board" is printed on pcb next to skt. Noticed the ROM designation MECF-M04 is same as on outside tag. Hmm. 22611AA560 has blue skt also. ROM is MECF-M01, same as outside tag. 22611AA381 (AT) has none of these features. Must be the "dumb" 89-90 ECU. The 563 has this on the ROM: MECF-M04 H4BLAP3 A Socket pin 1 is next to ROM, RH corner. All pcb traces go directly from socket to ROM. Must be the one. BTW, these AA560 & AA563 ECUs are Hitachi. Looked at your ECU presslab & noticed a very different layout.

I have on hand 3 ECUs so far: 90 Lego AT, 22611AA381(donor ej22 engine) 90 Lego OB MT, 22611AA560(donor ej22 wiring looms including to ECU) 90-91 Lego OB MT, 22611AA563 The last one is E7, not the F9 designation. I did figure that the Frankenmotor as built would fail smog without remapping. Will have to read further & learn more about the opensource tools.:cool:

To presslab: I've read & re-read these a few times. Great topics. Just asking questions before I do the build & meld the wiring in my 87 gl. To Gloyale: I've been combing the serve yourself yards for intact 92s like your suggesting, but, most of the time essential items already have been removed, or destroyed. Thanks to both of you!

Some days it pays to be patient....to say to yourself "I'll wait for something better."

Found more info about IACs at NASIOC: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1752404&highlight=92+lego+iac Found a complete 92 Lego intake w throttle body, injectors, loom, etc for less than local PAP prices. My question is: Would a 92 Lego intake manifold with throttle body have better IAC adjustment than the 90 Lego OB manifold? Some insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

Here's my list of building blocks: 90 Lego OB ej22e heads Delta RV cams 99 Lego OB ej25 block 90-91 Lego 22611AA563 ecu, MT 99 Lego OB y-pipe or OBX UEL SS headers 90 Lego OB eng wiring loom & interior loom Granted OBD 2 is now the preferred system to harvest for this, I'm attempting to stay within the 5 yr span according to Calif ARB guidelines to make my swap smog legal. My 87 gl can have up to 92 OBD 1 without the arbitrators/inspectors throwing a hissy fit. My question is would a 92 Lego intake manifold with throttle body have better IAC adjustment than the 90 Lego OB manifold? Just in case I need to bump up the idle speed to compensate for higher compression & RV cams. Edit: read mellow65's post, Swapping a phase 2 ej25 in an older legacy or impreza, in USRM, Engine And fairtax4me's post, IAC and TPS explanation, in Engine electrical

Thanks!! I try to maintain some kind of standards.Ha ha ha ha. I had done the rear arm bushings in 2008. Lost the bookmark for that source 2-3 pcs ago. Somewhere in Michigan IIRC. Yep, that's my 65 Chevy....1/2 ton fleetside. Came out of a horse corral in Chino, CA.

After you get done with the engine upgrade, are you going to put your tube bender to work upgrading the bumpers?

Scored a spare 5mt d/r trans w linkages, 2 pc driveshaft, starter, ignition coil w module, all 4 power window switches & vinyl cargo cover(window blind) from a '88 gl wagon today. All at 50% off at the local PAP. This car was not on the list of cars to be put out on Saturday. .......................................................................

Very nice work - as usual. Are you using flux core wire with that Lincoln 125 MIG welder? I didn't see a bottle anywhere in the pics.

I wouldn't know. Need to ask the OP to measure his regrinds. Or contact Delta Cams. Or wait for Doug.

So, stock cam base diameter minus reground cam base diameter divided by 2 equals amount needed to be cut from cam carriers. Just measured 2 stock 86 EA82 cams. Base diameter is 1.339"(34.01 mm). Hope this doesn't advance the cam timing by too much.

Did you have a valve regrind done on these heads? Once had a shop cut the stems too short leaving too much clearance. 3 of 4 cyls wouldn't make enough compression to run. Had to pull eng & tear down for cyl heads fix, again. If not maybe there's enough gap @ valve stems for lash caps? Not really good practice to sink the valves deeper.

Went to local PAP Sunday & found the elusive 99 Lego OB EJ25D for Frankenmotor. Seems appropriate for October - another Frankenmotor. :cool: Went back today & stripped engine down to shortblock. $125 for shortblock including $25 core. Longblock would have been $202 before the extra charges. Timing belt, PS cam sprockets were gone - broken pieces. Toothed idler brgs were seized - & a few BBs missing. No damages to cyl heads nor the piston crowns. Head gaskets looked good. Really have to believe that if more maintenance had been done this Lego OB would still be on the road. ................................................................. Already have a 90 Lego EJ22 complete for heads, cams, manifold, eng wiring loom, interior loom & ECU. Bores of EJ25 still have good crosshatch marks, no step in bores from rings at all. Just a slight amount of glaze. Will split the cases for light hone & re-ring, new rod & main brgs, polish the crank. .................................................................. Lucky the guys doing pre-lot work didn't hork the header pipe. $10.

Here's the radius rods for comparison. Top is stock, 1.25" longer then .75" longer. Chopped the rods in half, added 1"x .090" wall Cr-Mo DOM tubing & welded the ends. Then drilled .375" holes thru tube just into the rod material @ 8 places for each rod. Plug welded the holes for extra strength. ................................................... Installed rod: ................................................... Hard take-off in 1st still had wheel hop so checked all the engine & trans mounts. Engine mounts were fine but the trans mounts may as well been made of artists' gum rubber erasers. The mounts were allowing the drivetrain to shift forward when the tires bit hard & the torque went way up, pushing the DS axle into the engine cross-member & making a grinding sound. ................................................... So for stop-gap I added pieces of steel to the mounts to limit travel. Left 3/16" gaps for mount flex up, down & forward, back. They clatter when starting the engine but thereafter are OK. Big improvement. ................................................... Found some Energy Suspension bushings 9.9107 to fit inside 1.50"x.120" wall DOM tubing. Will fab these mounts later when doing my EJ engine swap. ...................................................
