skunk Posted June 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 i hate electrical, there are so meny un pluged wired that i have no idea were they go in my dash. and its just a mess. i have charged up my battery a few times now but every time i go to start my car its dead, like not even a click dead. and its a new battery. somthing must be draining power when the car is "off". electrical is so far over my head it makes me cry, i might have to pay someone to take a look at this, eather a shop in town or some one that knows there shit that wants to make some $$$ eather its not something im readdy for. and i check the brake lights and they are not one of the plugs/wires that lead to nothing.

The Dat-side Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Watch out if you park it at Skib's, he might cut a hole in the hood. Oh wait, you already got one. Lol no worries. ;) Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted June 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 hell if im lucky he will punch some bad ass +1 hp rivets in there for me lol Quote Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I didn't know each rivit added 1hp. If you get up to 500 you'll need some duct tape to hold it together. Quote Link to comment

skunk Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 well it should make it, but im about to take on a engine rebuild for it. I have that w53 peanut head, i think im going to go with a 94a or even a 91 cam from http://www.webcamshafts.com/index_blank.html?pages/vehicle_search.html, im picking up a l20 block with flat top pistons in it, not sure if im going to run them or bore the block to fit a flat top z piston or not. and with those z carbs it will be a fun little L engine. i just have to fig out if i want to bore it ot not, if i want to port the head or not. and all that. im going to start doing some reading on L engine build, theres not much info on the w53 peanut head tho.

I would put 44mm intake valves and port the intake to 1.5 and clean up the exhaust ports like this. But if you get the valve seats changed make sure the person knows what they are doing because if they do it wrong the seat will fall out. Quote Link to comment
nukeday Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Just got a call from skunk, he and jas are on their way to pick up the L20 short block I've got here. :) Can't wait to see what he does with it. Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 got the l20b block with flat tops, thank nukeday :D still not sure if im going to bore the block to maybe use ka or even z pistons or if im going to change the crank, i need to do some more reading to see what im going for also picked up a w53 peanut head at canby, it needs most of its guts but its still a peanut only bad thing is i guess i didnt look it over as well as i thought i did. is that a super bad thing like i think it is or am i ok to use this head still?
