Darlingchip and Backwoodsboy's winter brat project *pictures* dialup = go fix dinner

Featured Replies

With the lack of snow this past weekend, we decided to start a spring project a little early.

 

Nothing warms the hearts of USMB board members, like rednecks stripping out a brat for a fresh EJ swap... so here are some pics of last Saturday.

 

More to come as the fun progresses. :grin:

I told Backwoodsboy's sister that I was going for the Fred Flinstone car. Of course I will make........I mean allow Backwoods to do the driving....... Well that is until the engine gets put in and then hands off the steering wheel. :grin:

Well I am hoping that the more miles I put on him the cheaper he will get. So far he is really expensive at the moment.

 

As for the backfiring.....well I am hoping it will work itself out but I do like the extra boost.

 

I don't think he came with the owner manual....or is he hiding it on me:rolleyes:

Your right that Starbucks is expensive...But at least you got yourself a dependable one;)

Just figure out a methane "collector" under the seat and run a 1/8" tube to a vaccum port on the intake manifold - boost at will (consumption of beans, beer and pork can help you gain additional boost, by the way).
