I am glad to hear you at least know there are different holes !lol Thats good. Just saying. there are a few spots that are mad deceiving!! And ube, it has not to do with breathing as much as it has to do with immobility. There is some clay base out there that can get slick real quick when saturated. Thus sucking you into the abyss. It is a fun go fast park. if your struts are not in good shape you should keep it slow.the rises and woops are plentiful as the area is mainly designed for motorcycles and atv's. It is super fun though.... It is a great introductory area for folks that don't NEED harder stuff to do. However , A lot of the hill climbs can be burly depending on the day. I have to say that I got bored quite often, but I spent quite a few days out there riding regardless. Have fun and be safe. cheers

DON'T go in the wATER holes with a stock vehicle.Just don't....... But otherwise you can pretty much hit most of the park. have fun.

search for weber on this board. There is an exclusive thread covering more than you can imagine.

Yeah, I wanna try an wire up a buzzer or something. lol that's my AUX 1 for add on later cheers

Got a bit done so far this weekend. Stoked.

You should just give up and give me the engine. LOL

Not really any of your biz. However, We ALL hope he can make it down. Also, keeping on topic is a fairly important thing. Otherwise every search means nothing. . This thread , maybe not AS important. However, Practice makes perfect. Can't wait to see everyone! I just wanna drive again!!!!!!!!!!!!! cheers

This is relative to weight and distribution. Don't assume things. cheers

Got some relays ordered. Got the new timing components on, covers are sealed up. Sensors are on the engine. Swapped intakes to one I had from Uberoo's car. Man, Am I glad we took that engine out.LOl I will give one back of the same vintage when He needs it. It needs a custom bracket made for the power steering pump, which is for a Toyota hydro steer setup. That could be interesting. For Air I have the choice of 2 Cadillac electric pumps, or a York oilless. Depends on if I can change the v belt pulley on the York or not. I have a whole bunch of stuff to do . But am plugging away. cheers

So, did you check fuses? and relays?

you going around the bottom ?If so, ya pick me up? beers on me.

I have been wheeling since I was about 10yo in the desert and rocks, I may be new over here. But by far not new to the wheeling world. Not to say I won't have the " O " face.. lol It will be weird to be in a truck again though. Way higher off the ground than I have been in years<in the woods at least. I can't wait either bro, I can't wait either. This football season has kept me away from the garage a lot. So , after we win next week I will be back at it a little more often. cheers

Also got the T-case all torn down(again) and cleaned-ish mostly. lol Put it back together with the shift fork in the right direction! DOH! And Ultra grey in lew of gaskets, as well as Assembly lube in ALL the places it needed it.hopefully.LOL Should serve me well for a while. Just threw the front diff up on the bench for the locker swap starting this week. I have some timing belt assembly on the motor I hope to accomplish tomorrow. cheers

I hate you... LOL

So , 500hp starts at 16k.I figure with all the add ons, It will add up to about 20k. Man Do I want this .I have been itching to build a REAL race rig. This is out of my league right now. But. A guy has to retire into something

point is, No searchie!!!!!!!

I got some things done cheers

It was less of a question, and more of a HOW TO Jeszek :)A question mark got put into the title by accident. And I could not take it out. Please keep this post for additions of tech ONLY. No offense, but this is mainly for the USDM. And Jeszek, I did this before Jerry and Scott. lol cheers

She is beautiful. I miss Lilly pretty bad. I just seen one for sale up here too. damnit.....

Yeah, I should know better than to try an put expectations in place. But I MAY have a 4 day weekend. Two of those days for the Mama , and maybe I'll look at the truck lol

This is a conversation I had a while ago.... ME Sent 17 November 2013 - 07:23 PM I was the second to attempt it in the states.I made it run. I ended up having transmission issues and did not drive it. It is an early Escort, or EXP Disty. taken apart and had the shaft ground down to fit the end of an EJ cam. I took a Cam out of an engine, took the shaft out of the disty(bought new in the end, used a junkyard model to figure out the fit.So I actually ground down like 4 I think.Pretty sure I spent about 200 bucks getting it right. then I "fit " them together. Then I started test fitting on a head. As seen here http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h56/monstaru/new%20rig%20monstaru2/IMG_2027.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h56/monstaru/new%20rig%20monstaru2/IMG_2026.jpg You also have to modify the disty advance because of it wanting to hit the frame rail.(in an EA81) Unless you get the non advance model like shown. The electronics was super easy. I went to Ford and got a simple wiring harness diagram. The intake I bought from a plane builder in Canada. An older company named RAF used to produce them. I would just make one now. Scott casted a bolt on piece for an existing EJ intake. He said it worked fine, but I don't remembering see it run. So I don't know. I am sure he has a video on Youtube. cheers, maybe more to come....Just gotta remember it.. rrgrr Sent 20 November 2013 - 02:46 AM Thanks -I was looking at some right angle distys with similar drives - (like here: http://www.cardone.c...d=302492&p=rock) ...are the key ways in the cam ends different -is that what you were grinding on the distributor? Reply Report . monstaru Sent 20 November 2013 - 06:44 PM yeah, it is because of the keyway difference that it needs to be fitted. But it is very minor . It should be done with a hand file , or a mill. This one. AUTOLINE Part # D4069 from Rock auto. It is the easiest one to modify/locate used parts for. I did buy a brand new harness from the stealer ship but, It was not color coded. Just black and white. I had a color coded one I pulled from the junkyard once too. It is kind a straight forward really... monstaru Sent 20 November 2013 - 07:14 PM And actually I just realized that the Disty in the photo is like a later one I think. Maybe because it has the non adjustable advance. Is that an oxy moron? lol The one I ended up using had a vacuum unit that I modified to use with a wing nut. I have been looking for pics , but I have some random naming systems.LOL rrgrr Sent 20 November 2013 - 10:28 PM If the hood would clear it I'd be all over it -Doesn't seem that complicated if you can get the intake to mix right. I'd probly just cut a hole in the stock intake -I'd like to see the carb intake next to the fi one for comparison. How'd they fit that? Actually what this is about right now is farmyard type power plants for low tech types. Sent 21 November 2013 - 06:13 AM I just really liked carbs. And got told it was not possible. lol The RAF intake was made from the runners up. Here is my setup.I almost forgot about this. cheers rrgrr Sent 27 December 2013 - 09:21 AM Hey sorry I've been busy with other stuff. Thanks alot for all that! Do you know where to find the manifold, or would it just be easier to fab something up? Happy New Year! . monstaru Sent 27 December 2013 - 11:41 AM I would build my own if I were you. I bought mine off of a whirlybird website. damaged at that, one of the runners was dented and taken out of air service. Originally it was a 600 dollar piece. But if you can weld aluminum , it would not be that hard.(mine was steel).. The bottom of the runners is the goocher. As it turns oblong, not circular. rrgrr Sent 28 December 2013 - 06:59 AM Looks like they squished the ends and welded them to a plate, probably doctored them up from the other side? monstaru Sent 28 December 2013 - 11:47 AM They were not squished together. They were pressed with a custom interior die made the exact same shape.I inquired to the fabricator that built them for RAF. He also said they port matched the head to the runners when they installed them. Everything was machined and fabricated properly. Definitely not a backyard product. Not to say it could not be done with some ingenuity in your backyard. cheers rrgrr Sent 28 December 2013 - 03:05 PM Interesting. Maybe not a one-off piece, then a run of them was done, perhaps... I did a search but only came up with Royal Air Force -lol...kind of would like to see what they were flying with these motors, some kind of ultralight? monstaru Sent 28 December 2013 - 08:42 PM There was a small run of them done. The folks I was in touch with were using them on ultra lights, and other small "experimental"(this is actually a classification) aircraft.

WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT BEING FAIR? hE PROBABLY DIDNA LOOK! Anyways. IIRC, a hockey puck lift can only be done with a separate spring and shock. UNLESS, one put the puck on top of the strut. If that would have happened WE would have heard about it. If it just means stacking them under the spring by the threes , then your are only gaining about 1 inch of lift anyway... He MAY not have even looked at his struts! cheers. or not..

Seriously? hAVE you read anything on here?

So your saying that the slotted hole is not for adjustment? It is designed to set the motor to where the mounts are flat, is it not? I guess it really depends on if you have the transmission attached when you tighten it down or not . cheers

Loyale.
