izzo Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I got some good progress done today, too. All I need is a few fuel and coolant lines, then bolt on the carburetor and she's ready for FIRE! :devil: Better take a video!! It drivable?? Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Better take a video!! It drivable?? You tell me :) I've just done the engine.. haven't gone through the rest of it yet. As soon as I break the engine in for the first 15 minutes, then I'll check everything else over before I go and drive it around. The clutch slave looks to be leaking, and of course that CV in the front needs to be replaced. I'll definitely flush the brakes, too. Quote Link to comment

I never drove it, dunno! Id def bleed the brakes, clutch, maybe some new trans fluid. you use the 4 speed in there or put that 5 speed i sold you in? Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I'm using the 4 speed for the break-in process. I did put the L-series bellhousing on the 5-speed, so as soon as the engine is broken in, I'll do a few things like put on the SU's, swap in the 5-speed, and then do the exhaust. Also gonna do everything else necessary, like the CV, etc... I've learned to eat my elephants one bite at a time ;) Quote Link to comment

That trucks got enough tread on it for you to cruise around a little bit (tho its gonna look funny on them little tires) Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 you may want to adjust the exhaust too. its really close to the axle and hits the corners of the flange when you take a right hand corner. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 LOL i saw what was going on with it behind the differential. looks like it could use a good hook for that rubber to hang it on. didn't see it hit anything else tho? Just flop around in the differential skeleton Quote Link to comment

izzo Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Put 3 gallons of gas in it, hooked up the fuel lines again. put a return spring on the throttle. Seems to run smooth, but i can hear something odd from the exhaust. Ill have to take a video to explain. timing might be off, but seems to run alright where its at. Thinking about taking it for a spin down the block :hyper: :frantics: Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 brake pedal goes to the floor, i can pump it and it holds for a second, then hit the brakes again it goes back to the floor. Going to bleed the brakes this weekend and see if that cures it. Clutch is a little funny too, think ill bleed that for shits n giggles as well (weather permitting) Dont think this is going to make it to polar bear cruise, always got the 521! Video is uploading now of the noise its making, nothing serious, but somethings off. Soon as its posted ill put a link up Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 ignore the shitty video Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 sigh... Hopefully have a f'ing day off soon where its not pissing rain and get the brakes blead, smaller tires on, and everything bolted down. She's so close to being a driver Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Seats are bolted down, started getting the dash in. Gave it a tune up, new oil, filter, plugs, cap, rotor. Doesn't have that random miss anymore. Still need to bleed the brakes/clutch, get some smaller tires. So close to a driver.... Quote Link to comment
