datsunfish Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Just some pics of my motor being assembled. I am trying to take the time to do a clean job so theres less to do later. I said screw it and tore out the auto tranny and went with a dogleg 5 speed. W53 peanut head port matched to ported l16 intake. Stock l16 exhaust mani that will be getting 2" pipe into a borla muffler. Weber down draft for now maybe 40mm weber down or most likely the twin mikunis eventually. I know I will get some shit for the color but I think its cool.:fu: Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 looks good to me :cool: Fuck, you know what man who cares if anyone likes the color as long as you do. I think that colors rocks. Id rock that shit if mine wasnt already red :D Quote Link to comment
az_rat210 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I actually like the color, nice contrast for an engine bay. The paint where the Carb Gasket goes is a bit of a concern though on the Intake Manifold. Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Come get the manifold grey paint that I have and paint that ex. mani. Will look tiptop then:D Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Got it fired off today. No exhaust on it but at least fired it up for a minute. Sounds like a boat out of water..Didnt want to blast out the neighbors too bad. I still need to do the exhaust and get some 510 pedals but I have the clutch hydraulics functional,cooling system is tight,no smoking ,knocking or ticking so it all looks great. I cant wait to drive it with the 5 speed. Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 The studs in my exhaust mani were shot so I pulled it and put on a 510 big tube header that I previously modified to fit the truck. Lucky it still fits but I still need some pipe. I scabbed on some pieces and a borla muffler and it sounds mean! I will have to tame it down since I will be using it as a daily driver soon. The dogleg is freakin tight too. Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 The #4 runneris pretty ugly since I didnt finish grinding it since I hadnt planned on using it right now but oh well. Quote Link to comment
