gcmustang Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 When you get here if you need anything let me know. Picking up another parts car tomorrow Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 so things got really bleak on my chances of making canby yesterday. i went to swap the pan on my motor i was gonna install that was supposed to be a 1000 mile rebuild, but coodnt be proved and i knew it when i bought it, and i noticed alot of end play in it. checked the center bearing where the thrust is and it was almost gone on one side. it has 0.065 inches of end play! so today i took apart a motor with a blown head gasket adn pulled the crank and put it in the other motor along with the center bearing. buttoned everything else up. pan distributor, front cover are on. whole bottom end has been gone thru and retorqued now. im hoping my motor woes are over. next thing to do is build my trans. sorry for being so long winded. OICS! p.s. i also have a black distributor cap but it has aluminum contacts not brass like my brown one, which do u guys think i shood run brown or black, brown looks a lil more original to me.

erichwaslike Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 yup im #146. im guessing that they will put us next to each other since its the same car. and just incase something happens..... idk who took ur clock lol Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 i have reloared the car. still have yet to take oics but it rides way better with all the leafs back in and the 3 inch blocks. plus its 1.5 loar noaw. ive since loaring it started to try my hand at some wreckless driving and started doing some canyone runs and such. im planning on doing some video of some of them. only thing is if i get pulled over right noaw i cood maybe talk my way out of it, but if i have the go pro mounted in between the seats it may be harder to say "no ociffer i wasnt speeding and sliding corners.... oh the video camera thats just for insurance purposes.... no id prefer if u didnt reveiw the footage on it" 20 minutes later my ass is in jail and my car is sitting in impound for the maximum 30 days. so if i video it will be not very often. also got my 2.0 paid for and am just waiting on the shipping to be finalized then i get to start building it for some serious fun!
